Discussion open for comments on @EgUsphere: Spatio-temporal melt and basal channel evolution on Pine Island Glacier ice shelf from CryoSat-2 doi.org/10.5194/egusph…

EGU_TC's tweet card. Abstract. Ice shelves buttress the grounded ice sheet, restraining its flow into the ocean. Mass loss from these ice shelves occurs primarily through ocean-induced basal melting, with the highest...
