Impact of glacial isostatic adjustment on zones of potential grounding line persistence in the Ross Sea Embayment (Antarctica) since the Last Glacial Maximum
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ice streams in the Ross Sea Embayment (West Antarctica) retreated up to 1000 km since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). One way that bathymetry influenced this retreat was through the presence of local bathymetric highs, or pinning points, which decreased ice flux through the grounding line and slowed grounding line retreat. During this time, glacial isostatic adjustment vertically shifted the underlying bathymetry, altering the grounding line flux. Continental-scale modeling efforts have demonstrated how solid Earth–ice sheet interactions impact the deglacial retreat of marine ice sheets; however, these models are too coarse to resolve small-scale bathymetric features. We pair a high-resolution bathymetry model with a simple model of grounding line stability in an ensemble approach to predict zones of potential grounding line persistence in the Ross Sea Embayment for given combinations of surface mass balance rate, degree of ice shelf buttressing, basal friction coefficient, and bathymetry (corrected for glacial isostatic adjustment using three different ice sheet histories). We find that isostatic depression within the interior of the Ross Sea Embayment during the LGM restricts zones where grounding lines can persist to near the edge of the continental shelf. Most grounding lines cannot persist near the present-day grounding line until sufficient uplift has occurred (mid-Holocene; ∼ 5 ka), and this uplift causes a net upstream migration of grounding line persistence zones across the deglaciation. Additionally, our results show that coarse-resolution bathymetry underpredicts possible stable grounding line positions, particularly near the present-day grounding line, highlighting the importance of bathymetric resolution in capturing the impact of glacial isostatic adjustment on ice stream stability.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
