Multi-model estimate of Antarctic ice-shelf basal mass budget and ocean drivers The Cryosphere, 2025 (Ref: 17479)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Societal adaptation to rising sea levels requires robust projections of the Antarctic Ice Sheet's retreat, particularly due to ocean-driven basal melting of its fringing ice shelves.

Circulation and ocean–ice shelf interaction beneath the Denman and Shackleton Ice Shelves Science Advances, 2025 (Ref: 17478)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Ocean-driven basal melt can thin and weaken ice shelves, reducing buttressing and causing sea level rise. However, the processes driving melt in ice shelf cavities are challenging to observe. Here we report float observations spanning the ocean cavity beneath Shackleton Ice Shelf.

IAPSO Best Practice Research Group: REconciling Cross-platform Observations of Ice-sheLf melt (RECOIL) Zenodo, 2025 (Ref: 17425)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

One of the principal factors influencing mass loss and sea level contribution from … the Antarctic Ice Sheet currently and in future centuries is the melting of ice … shelves by the ocean. These floating extensions of the ice sheet buttress against … ice-sheet movement…

Gravity-derived Antarctic bathymetry using the Tomofast-x open-source code: a case study of Vincennes Bay The Cryosphere, 2025 (Ref: 17370)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Vincennes Bay is a region of East Antarctica vulnerable to sub-ice shelf basal melting from warm ocean water intrusions. The sub-ice shelf bathymetry in this region is largely unknown, despite its importance for ocean dynamics within ice shelf cavities and associated sub-ice shelf basal melting.

How Does the Ocean Melt Antarctic Ice Shelves? Annual Review of Marine Science, 2025 (Ref: 17282)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The present-day state and future of the Antarctic Ice Sheet depend on the rate at which the ocean melts its fringing ice shelves. Ocean heat must cross many physical and dynamical barriers to melt ice shelves, with the last of these being the ice-ocean boundary layer.

The 2017 Antarctic ozone hole 2017 Atmospheric Composition and Chemistry Observations and Modelling Conference, incorporating the Cape Grim Annual Science Meeting, Murramarang, Australia, 8-10 November 2017, 2017 (Ref: 15908)
Category 3: Conference paper

The 2017 ozone hole … developed in the first week of August and rose sharply to reach a peak size … in early September, this was then followed by a significant warming event … which reduced the overall areal extent of the ozone hole considerably.

Petroleum hydrocarbons ten years after spillage at a helipad in Bunger Hills, East Antarctica. Antarctic Science, 1999 (Ref: 8897)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Surface and subsurface sediments from a helipad in Bunger Hills were collected ten years after accidental contamination with a small quantity (probably less than 10 litres) of petroleum products.

Seasonal temperature variability in the upper Southwest Pacific Ocean Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1999 (Ref: 13172)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Climatological monthly upper-ocean temperature anomalies from the annual mean in the subtropical southwest … Pacific Ocean show a characteristic out-of-phase relationship between the mixed layer and the underlying water.
