In the first part of this two-part video series showcasing the results of my recent papers, I showed you what our model dataset is capable of, and hopefully reassured you that it's a reasonable tool to examine melting on the Antarctic Peninsula. If you haven't already, make sure to check it out here: youtu.be/LSg2sDdESOc
In this video, we're doing the fun stuff: delving into the main causes of surface melting over Larsen C, and ranking them in order of importance.
...Get ready for the Top of the Melt charts.

If you don't fancy drilling down into the technical details in the papers themselves, you can check out an article I wrote about them on Carbon Brief with my co-authors here: carbonbrief.org/guest-post-ranking-the-reasons-why-the-larsen-c-ice-shelf-is-melting
Big shout out to EnvEast / NERC for funding this work under grant agreement NE/L002582/1.
