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)

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…

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.
