Antarctica   climate change   climate response  

A team of autonomous ocean robots deployed in January 2018 has carried out the first year-long observations under an Antarctic ice shelf. Scientists will use the data to understand how seawater interacts with the ice shelves and improve models of ice sheet behavior.
