Shear-margin melting causes stronger transient ice discharge than ice-stream melting in idealized simulations
<p>Basal ice-shelf melting is the key driver of Antarctica's increasing sea-level contribution. In diminishing the buttressing force of the ice shelves that fringe the ice sheet, the melting increases the ice discharge into the ocean. Here we contrast the influence of basal melting in two...
