Description
Nicolas Sartore, AOS graduate student, will investigate how waves may erode the front of Antarctica’s largest ice shelf, the Ross Ice Shelf, and how this results in bending forces that can cause deformation of the near-front shelf and trigger intermediate-scale calving (with icebergs of lengths ~100 m).
