Stability of Antarctic ice shelves: A case study of the Roi Baudouin Ice Shelf, Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica

The Antarctic ice sheet is increasingly contributing to sea-level rise because of accelerated mass losses at its floating extensions -- its ice shelves. By floating while remaining attached to the grounded ice sheet, ice shelves buttress (i.e. restrain) the inland ice in such a way that ice-shelf lo...
