The Antarctic coastal zone is not simply the edge of the continent. It is a tightly coupled system where ice from the ice sheet extends over the seabed, initially resting on it and farther out floating as ice shelves. Here, mass, heat and nutrients are exchanged with the ocean through various processes. Even the smallest changes can have outsized consequences.
