Numerical simulations of a kilometre-thick Arctic ice shelf consistent with ice grounding observations

Numerical simulations of a kilometre-thick Arctic ice shelf consistent with ice grounding observations

Ice grounding features discovered in the Arctic Basin, in water depths exceeding 1 km and dated to the penultimate glacial, suggest a past Arctic ice shelf. Here, the authors undertake numerical simulations that shed light on how such an ice shelf could have formed, its dynamics and most likely conf...
