Messages from the ice: Antarctic ice core records and the global climate system. Abstracts of the SCAR Open Science Conference, Hobart, 12-14 July 2006., 2006 (Ref: 12548)
Authors:
Category 3: Abstract

Ice cores provide some of the richest archives of past climate behaviour available to us. The … use of ice core data has become a foundation of climate study, and in Antarctica, with the … sparse, short instrumental record, ice core climate data is of particular importance.

The surface climate of the East Antarctic ice sheet between Dome A and the coast. Abstracts of the SCAR Open Science Conference, Hobart, 12-14 July 2006., 2006 (Ref: 12547)
Category 3: Abstract

Dome A is the highest point on the surface of the East Antarctic ice sheet and the highest … ice feature in Antarctica. In January 2005 a team from the Chinese National Antarctic … Research Expeditions (CHINARE)…

Chemical and biological properties of marine ice from the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica. Abstracts of the SCAR Open Science Conference, Hobart, 12-14 July 2006., 2006 (Ref: 12546)
Category 3: Abstract

Ice shelves play a major role in the discharge of ice from Antarctica both from iceberg calving and basal melt, and processes of ocean-ice interaction beneath the shelf are of increasing scientific interest.

Snow accumulation along the Chinese ITASE traverse line from Antarctic coast to Dome A: Measurements from stakes and automatic weather stations. Abstracts of the SCAR Open Science Conference, Hobart, 12-14 July 2006., 2006 (Ref: 12545)
Category 3: Abstract

Surface snow accumulation along the Chinese ITASE traverse line was measured using … bamboo stakes. Stakes along the initial (coastal) 300 km of the line were installed in 1997. The stake network was extended to 465 km in 1998, to 1100 km in 1999 and finally to 1228 … km (from the coast to Dome A)…

Mass balance measurements of the Sub-Antarctic Brown Glacier, Heard Island. Abstracts of the SCAR Open Science Conference, Hobart, 12-14 July 2006., 2006 (Ref: 12544)
Category 3: Abstract

Heard Island is a subantarctic island located at 530 06’ S 730 30’ E in the southern Indian … Ocean. There are 29 glacierised basins on Heard Island, which cover 70% of this 367 km2 … island. Since 1947 there has been significant retreat of the glaciers especially on the north … east coast.

Estimating long-term East Antarctic snow accumulation from automatic weather station data. Abstracts of the SCAR Open Science Conference, Hobart, 12-14 July 2006., 2006 (Ref: 12543)
Category 3: Abstract

The Australian Antarctic Division has operated automatic weather stations (AWS) at a … number of sites on the East Antarctica ice sheet for various periods of time since 1984. These AWS measure air temperature and wind speed at three levels above the surface, nominally 1 m…

Structure and flow in the margin of the Law Dome ice cap. Annals of Glaciology, 1988 (Ref: 9035)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The internal structure of the Law Dome ice cap is being investigated by studying ice cores obtained from several sites along the summit - Cape Folger line. Profiles of measured physical properties for four of the ice cores from near the margin of the ice cap are presented.
