10. How melt ponds weaken the ice shelf

    MIDAS investigates how climate warming affects the Larsen C ice shelf in Antarctica. The project studies the formation of large summer melt ponds and their influence on ice shelf structure and stability. Fieldwork, satellite observation, and computer simulations are used to understand these processes.
