The model was developed with the help of the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) supercomputer at the Australian National University. This melting occurs at relatively lower rates but over a much larger area.” “But our model is showing that most of the ice mass loss comes from shallower ice, less than 500 metres deep. “For a long time we’ve thought that the highest rates of melting are happening deep beneath ice shelves, at their ‘grounding’ zones, where they attach to the continent. He said the new model simulations were already challenging conventional ideas about ice shelf melting.

“More than half the ice lost from Antarctica today is thought to occur beneath its floating ice shelves, where warm ocean water melts the underside,” glaciologist Dr Ben Galton-Fenzi said.
