This alters circumpolar and global ocean currents by affecting temperatures and salt concentrations; it can even alter the ocean’s structure in a way that accelerates melting (Flexas et al., 2022). Our understanding of where the meltwater goes and the processes that determine this is poor – particularly because measurements in key regions have been very hard to obtain. You will uncover where this meltwater is going and why, helping to imp
