Oceanographic instruments suspended beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, have recorded sporadic pressure decreases of 10–20 dbar over a few days at three sites where basal marine ice growth is expected.
Abstract: Two sediment cores collected from beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica describe the … physical sedimentation patterns beneath an existing major embayed ice shelf. Core AM01b was collected … from a site of basal freezing, contrasting with core AM02…
Abstract Samples of marine ice were collected from … the Amery Ice Shelf, a large embayed ice shelf in East … Antarctica, during the Austral summer of 2001–2002. The samples came from a site ~90 km from the iceberg … calving front of the shelf…
The Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, undergoes high basal melt rates near the southern … limit of its grounding line where 80% of the ice melts within 240km of becoming afloat. A considerable … portion of this later refreezes downstream as marine ice.
A hot water drill was used to penetrate 480 m of ice to reveal a diverse benthic assemblage, dominated by … suspension-feeding invertebrates, under the Amery Ice Shelf (East Antarctica) at a location 100 km from open … water and at a depth of 775 m below sea level (840 m below the ice shelf surface)…
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.
This study presents compelling evidence for a diverse and abundant seabed community … that developed over the course of the Holocene beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica. Fossil … analysis of a 47 cm long sediment core revealed a rich modern fauna dominated by filter feeders …
In 1999 the Glaciology Program of the Australian Antarctic Division initiated a 5-year study of … glaciological investigations into the interaction between the Amery Ice Shelf and the underlying … ocean. The principle objectives of this project are:
Oversnow traverses have collected a variety of glaciological measurements around the interior drainage basin of the Lambert Glacier, East Antarctica (longitudes 54°-78°E, latitudes 67°-76°S), between 1989-90 and 1994-95.
A video system with dual camera capability (sideward, and downward looking) was … deployed within and below the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica. Although the system had no … real time image transmission capability, video imagery was obtained at two hot water drilled … borehole sites AM03 (70° 33.
Life beneath the Antarctic ice shelves is surprisingly abundant and diverse. This study … documents the Holocene seabed community beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, based on fossil analysis of a 47 cm long sediment core. The surface samples from this core … reveals a rich modern fauna…
A real-time video camera probe was deployed in a hot-water drilled borehole through the … Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, where a total ice thickness of 480m included at least 200m of basal … marine ice.
