Yixi, please introduce yourself. My name is Yixi Zheng, and I am a postdoctoral researcher at the British Antarctic Survey specialising in Antarctic physical oceanography. My work focuses on turbulence at the ice shelf-ocean boundary layer, which regulates heat transfer…
WP5 investigates how ice sheet meltwater discharge affects deep water formation, pole-to-pole connections, and large-scale ocean circulation, including the AMOC and ACC. This session combines new ocean observations, innovative analyses, and modelling approaches to better understand how freshwater influences the…
Marte, please introduce yourself. I’m Marte Hofsteenge, I’m a postdoctoral researcher at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. My research is part of both the PolarRES and OCEAN ICE projects, where I study the future climate and mass balance of Antarctica…
In the new paper, the authors identify potential oceanic gateways to Antarctic grounding lines based on high-resolution bathymetry data and examine the effect of access depths on ice-shelf melt rates. The identified gateways manifest the deepest topographic features that could…
Petra, please introduce yourself. Hi! My name is Petra Langebroek and I am a Research Director at NORCE and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research in Bergen (Norway). My background is in ice sheet and climate modelling, and my work…
