Enhanced subglacial discharge amplifies Petermann Ice Shelf melting when ocean thermal forcing saturates

Abstract Increased basal melting of the Petermann Ice Shelf is typically attributed to rising ocean temperatures. While subglacial discharge is known to intensify basal melt, the underlying mechanisms and their evolution in a warming climate remain unresolved. Using a 3-D numerical regional ice shel...
