Dynamic response of an Arctic epishelf lake to seasonal and long-term forcing: implications for ice shelf thickness

Changes in the depth of the freshwater–seawater interface in epishelf lakes have been used to infer long-term changes in the minimum thickness of ice shelves; however, little is known about the dynamics of epishelf lakes and what other factors may influence their depth. Continuous observations c...
