DOI: 10.1109/tgrs.2023.3271453
Abstract: Antarctica’s ice shelves play a critical role in modulating ice loss to the ocean by buttressing grounded ice upstream. With the potential to impact ice-shelf stability, persistent polynyas (open-water areas surrounded by sea ice that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abg3080
Abstract: Antarctica’s largest contributor to sea level has sped up further as a major section of its floating ice shelf collapsed. Speedup of Pine Island Glacier over the past several decades has made it Antarctica’s largest… read more here.
