The Totten Glacier, located in the East Antarctica Ice Sheet, is also a major contributor to global sea-level rise. However, the details of how offshore ocean heat reaches the glacier’s ice shelf cavity remain elusive. Now, researchers have used data from several sources to provide additional insights on the pathways of warm water that reach the ice shelf. Their findings shed light on the physical processes that control the melting rate of this glacier.
