💨 Abstract

Scientists have made progress in understanding the "ice-ocean boundary layer" of the Antarctic ice sheet, which is crucial for projecting sea level rise. This layer, just beneath the ice, is where ocean processes occur that control the melting of ice shelves. Computer simulations have become feasible, revealing several melt regimes determined by ocean conditions and ice shape.
