Enhanced basal melting in winter and spring: seasonal ice–ocean interactions at the Ekström Ice Shelf, East Antarctica

<p>Basal melting of Antarctic ice shelves significantly contributes to ice sheet mass loss, with distinct regional disparities in melt rates driven by ocean properties. In Dronning Maud Land (DML), East Antarctica, cold water predominantly fills the ice shelf cavities, resulting in generally l...
