TL;DR ice shelves melt in weird and wonderful ways, most of which aren't represented in our ocean/ice sheet models (and should be!) Proud to share our review in Annual Reviews Marine Science: www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

The Antarctic ice sheet is nearly twice the area of Australia and holds enough freshwater to raise global sea levels by 58 metres.

How is Antarctica melting, exactly? Crucial details are beginning to come into focus
