2/ But what drives the intrusions of warm water onto Antarctica’s continental shelf, where they can destabilise glaciers? A new study in @jgroceans.bsky.social led by Natalia Ribeiro @imos-aus.bsky.social uses a model to simulate how warm water gets into Vincennes Bay.

East Antarctic temperature, as simulated by the ACCESS-OM2-01 model. Colors show the ocean's bottom temperature on the continental shelf, and at 1,000 m depth north of the shelf break (defined by 1,000 m isobath, shown by black contour line) for the year of 2012. The green box highlights the location of Vincennes Bay and the dashed black line indicates the location of Wilkes Land. The study region in relation to the Antarctic continent (green box) and relevant ice shelf/glacier systems is displayed as an inset on the top left.
