Three ice dams in southeastern Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica, dam a system of five lakes periodically, impounding more than ~1.5 x 106 m3 of water. Dam #a impounds 1.1 x 106 m3 of water, while dams #b and #c prevent the free drainage of the lake below Dam #a, and impound the remaining 0.
Measurements of crystal size have been made on seven firn cores drilled at sites covering a range of mean annual temperature from -12.6 °C to -52.5 °C and a range of accumulation rate from 52 to 315 kg/sq.m/a. The sorting coefficient…
The temperature of upper 20 m was measured at four sites, S1, LJ, LJ24 and BJ, during a period of 21 months at the western Law Dome, Antarctica. the sensors were emplaced at the depths of 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 15 and 20 m. S1 is in ablation sphere with a dynamo-metamorphosed ice…
A comprehensive, airborne survey of the Vanderford and Adams glaciers was started in January 1983, continued through the austral summer season 1984/5, and completed in February 1985. Ice thickness and surface-elevation data were collected over some 4500 square kilometres…
The borehole BHQ, 430 m deep, was drilled in Law Dome, Antarctica, by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition in 1977. The core from BHQ was estimated to contain ice layers for about 5000 a, and was sent partly to China in 1983 for studies in detail.
