Using the same concept, in a follow-up study (Kreuzer et al), we explore how relative sea-level change can affect sub-shelf melting.
🌊 Sea-level shifts can alter ocean access to grounding lines
❄️ But its melt impact is small compared to climate-driven changes.

Bathymetry-constrained impact of relative sea-level change on basal melting in Antarctica
Abstract. Relative sea level (local water depth) on the Antarctic continent is changing through the complex interplay of processes associated with glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA). This involves nea...

🔍 Several regions show gateway access
📈 We estimate upper bounds on melt rate increases if warm waters follow these paths into the ice-shelf cavities
Also: we update our PICO basin mask to better align with bathymetric access; you can find it in our Zenodo repository!

With the paper, we are not trying to say what everyone in our field agrees on, but rather here is what we, some 42 authors, agree on and what we, with our various kinds of influence, biases and backgrounds, can or could do about it.
Many thanks to my co-authors for their contributions and help 🙏

Next to lectures on e.g. numerical modelling, polar meteorology or ice-ocean interactions, we also had the chance to reflect on how and by whom our science is done, and what role we, predominantly early-career researchers attending the school, play in shaping our community in the future. 💪
