Antarctic ice shelves are melting from below much faster than expected. A new study reveals that grooves under the ice trap warm water, creating a "heat trap" that could accelerate global sea level rise beyond current IPCC models.

Channelized topography amplifies melt-sensitivity of cold Antarctic ice shelves
Nature Communications - Cold Antarctic ice shelves may be more vulnerable than assumed. High-resolution modelling shows that small basal channels trap warm water, amplify melting, and trigger a...
