Damage development on Antarctic ice shelves sensitive to climate warming - Nature Climate Change Damages such as crevasses or cracks can be early indicators of ice shelf weakening. Here, the authors quantify changes in damage structures in Antarctic ice sheets, which show sensitivity to warming

24 years of satellite data reveal a dynamic, cyclic pattern of ice shelf damage across Antarctica.
