Submarine melting at ice-ocean interfaces such as at tidewater glaciers and ice shelves is influenced by physical and chemical environmental factors including salinity, water temperature, stratification, subglacial hydrology, meltwater plumes, and oceanic currents. The effect of these individual components on ice loss can be difficult to capture in common ice-melting models.
