Evolution of sub-ice-shelf channels reveals changes in ocean-driven melt in West Antarctica by Karen E. Alley, Richard B. Alley, Alex D. Crawford, Naomi Ochwat, Christian T. Wild, Juliana Marson, Tasha Snow, Atsuhiro Muto, Erin C. Pettit, Sarah F. Child, Martin Truffer, Gabriela Collao-Barrios, Ted A. Scambos

“…We observe examples of channel growth, interactions with ice-shelf features, and systematic changes in sinuosity that give insight into the life cycles of basal channels. We use the last two decades of the record, combined with contemporary ice-flow velocity datasets, to separate channel-path evolution into components related to advection by ice flow and those controlled by other forcings, such as ocean melt or surface accumulation. …”
