Researchers Identify Multiscale Oceanic Processes Responsible for Heat Delivery to Antarctic Ice Shelves

The Greenland ice sheet (GIS) and Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) contribute largely to global mean sea level (GMSL) changes, though the seas surrounding the Antarctic like the Bellinghausen-Amundsen Seas and the Indian Ocean sector are seeing significantly more warming than the rest of the marginal seas, with immediate noticeable effects on the mass balance (net weight of the glacier mainly accounting for ice gained by snow and lost by melting and calving) of the AIS.

The Vital Role of “Warm Ice Age” on Earth’s Climate Cycles

Approximately 700,000 years ago, a “warm ice age” irrevocably altered the climate cycles on Earth. The polar glaciers extended significantly during this abnormally warm and moist time.
