Basal sliding in Antarctic glaciers is often modeled using a friction law that relates basal shear stresses to the effective pressure. As few ice sheet models are dynamically coupled to subglacial hydrology models…
In accordance with Article 6.3 of Annex V to the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty, Australia has undertaken a five-yearly review of the management plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) 103 Ardery Island and Odbert Island.
Hot water drilling of the Amery Ice Shelf conducted as a component of the AMISOR (Amery Ice Shelf Ocean Research) project to enable access the underlying ocean cavity has allowed limited retrieval of ice cores using a hot water coring barrel.
Accurate assessments of the past and future mass budgets of polar ice sheets are essential to resolving contributions to past sea-level rise and projecting responses to climate change respectively. Both tasks require that ice accumulation and ice flow are each accurately described…
An accurate quantitative description of the relationship between the stresses in ice masses … and the resulting deformation strain rates is a critical ingredient in successfully modelling their … flow.
