The Ross Ice Shelf controls the flow of ice into the ocean from catchments consisting of both the East and West Antarctic Ice Sheets. These catchments hold a volume of ice equivalent to ∼12 m of global sea level rise. To adequately understand how this ice will respond to a warming world requires kno...
