Abstract: ABSTRACT Satellite observations of gravity anomalies, ice-surface elevation and glacier velocity show significant increases in net grounded-ice-mass loss over the past decade along the Bellingshausen Sea sector (BSS), West Antarctica, in areas where warm (>1°C)… read more here.

Abstract: Floating ice shelves, which fringe most of Antarctica’s coastline, regulate ice flow into the Southern Ocean1–3. Their thinning4–7 or disintegration8,9 can cause upstream acceleration of grounded ice and raise global sea levels. So far the… read more here.
