The GLmelt project investigates the melting of ice shelves in polar regions by analyzing the interaction between ocean conditions and ice melting rates. It aims to develop a numerical model to better understand how these factors influence ice stability and sea level rise.
Ice shelf melting and retreat are accelerating in polar regions because the warm off-shore waters are gaining greater access to the base of ice shelves.
Warm waters have the potential of reaching the grounding line and thereby melting it causing the retreat of the full ice shelf, resulting in elevated rates of ice discharge into polar seas and sea level rise.
The interconnection between ocean conditions, warming, and ice melting in ice-shelf cavities is poorly understood due to the paucity of ob…
