The article presents a study on the role of glacier calving in internal tsunamis and ocean mixing in Antarctica. Topics discussed include the global climatic influence of transformations of Antarctic continental shelf waters, internal tsunami generation and breaking, and the significant implications of the injection of mixing energy at the ocean/ice interface and across the shelf.
