Basal melting of Antarctic ice shelves is primarily driven by heat delivery from warm Circumpolar Deep Water. Here we classify near-shelf water masses in an eddy-resolving numerical model of the Southern Ocean to develop a unified view of w...
Ocean-bottom seismometers reveal surge dynamics in Earth's longest-runout sediment flows [0.03%]
