SUMMARY:Coupled ice-ocean interactions for the Amundsen Sea glaciers\, Ant

DESCRIPTION:Glaciers in the Amundsen Sea are rapidly thinning and retreati
 ng as a result of ocean-induced changes in ice-shelf buttressing. Projecti
 ng the future behaviour of these glaciers is challenging\, in particular d
 ue to the complex feedbacks between ice and ocean dynamics. To better repr
 esent these processes\, we explore results from an asynchronous coupling 
 between a high resolution regional configuration of the 3D ocean model MI
 Tgcm\, and a state-of-the-art ice flow model Úa. In particular\, area-wid
 e projections of ice shelf thickness and velocities over the next 150 year
 s are obtained under two limiting scenarios\, i.e. sustained warm and cold
  ocean forcing.
