**Description:** The Antarctic margins are where ocean, sea ice, and ice sheets come together. It is a region of rapidly unfolding changes (e.g. sea ice loss and ocean warming) and key challenges for future research (e.g. ice shelf cavity circulations, coupled ocean - ice sheet processes).

The next generation of coupled models aim to include interactive coupling between these different physical components. This breakout session is intended as a forum to discuss both the scientific questions such models will allow us to ask, and the technical challenges of this coupling.
