Evolution of sub-ice-shelf channels reveals changes in ocean-driven melt in West Antarctica

Evolution of sub-ice-shelf channels reveals changes in ocean-driven melt in West Antarctica

Basal channels, which are troughs carved into the undersides of ice shelves by buoyant plumes of water, are modulators of ice-shelf basal melt and structural stability.
