- 요약This dissertation synthesizes observations from the Amundsen, Bellingshausen, and Ross Seas around Antarctica, spanning from 1976 to 2020, to elucidate the dynamics of glacial meltwater (GMW) contributions and their interplay with sea ice changes. By integrating paired salinity and oxygen isotope (δ18O) analyses, we quantify GMW, discriminate between different sources of melt, and examine the downstream impacts of increasing mass loss by the ice sheets of West Antarctica. The findings highlight the critical role of meltwater in modifying Antarctic water masses, underscored by innovative methodologies that enhance our understanding of these complex processes.In the Amundsen Sea, our analysis quantifies the presence of glacial meltwater in shallow and deep portions of the water column, with meteoric water inventories showing high interannual variability. The identification of freshwater end-member isotopic compositions aligning with local glacial ice supports the utility of 0-salinity intercepts in determining the composition of the GMW source. Incorporating a two-component meteoric water end-member into the three end-member mixing model accounts for precipitation in the upper water column and improves the estimation of GMW and sea ice melt fractions, crucial for understanding the significant ice mass loss in this region and its implications for global sea-level rise.Observations in the Bellingshausen Sea demonstrate distinct meltwater isotopic signatures from eastern and western ice shelves, with δ18O analyses tracing specific meltwater export pathways. The differentiation between meltwater sources reveals the complex interactions between local ice shelves and oceanic circulations, highlighting the importance of δ18O measurements in identifying and quantifying the contributions of glacial meltwater in Antarctic coastal seas.In the Ross Sea, a consistent freshening trend observed from 1976 to 2018 across on-shelf water masses is attributed to increased glacial meltwater from the Amundsen and Bellingshausen sectors. The application of a three end-member mixing model offers a direct quantification of this influx, indicating a significant rise in meteoric water fractions. Complicating matters is complex interplay between sea ice production and GMW influx, evidenced by a temporary rebound in High Salinity Shelf Water salinity and δ18O levels between 2013 and 2018. These findings underscore the impact of upstream GMW on downstream water masses and sea ice dynamics in the Ross Sea.This multi-decadal study across key Antarctic regions highlights the intricate and variable influence of glacial meltwater on Antarctic hydrography and sea ice dynamics. By leveraging δ18O as a potent tracer, we gain critical insights into the evolving interactions between meltwater contributions, water mass changes, and climate dynamics. These findings not only advance our understanding of Antarctic oceanography but also emphasize the significance of continued monitoring and analysis to anticipate the broader implications of Antarctic ice melt in a warming world.
