Ocean temperature impact on ice shelf extent in the eastern Antarctic Peninsula

Ocean temperature impact on ice shelf extent in the eastern Antarctic Peninsula

Ocean warming contributes to the thinning of the Antarctic ice shelves, however, lack of observations has prevented a quantification of this contribution. Here the authors use geological records to show that 0.3–1.5 °C ocean warming has played a central role on regional ice shelf instability over th...
