Antarctic ice-free coastal environments, like the Vestfold Hills (East Antarctica), are shaped by a complex interplay of physical processes. This study synthesizes new data and existing research from the Vestfold Hills across marine, terrestrial and cryosphere science, meteorology, geomorphology…
We present Bedmap3, the latest suite of gridded products describing surface elevation, ice-thickness and the seafloor and subglacial bed elevation of the Antarctic south of 60?°S. Bedmap3 incorporates and adds to all post-1950s datasets previously used for Bedmap2…
One of the key components of this research has been the mapping of Antarctic bed topography and ice thickness parameters that are crucial for modelling ice flow and hence for predicting future ice loss and the ensuing sea level rise. Supported by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR)…
The Antarctic ice sheet holds a wealth of information on past climate variability, locked away in successive layers buried by further snowfall. In the coastal regions of Antarctica, snowfall rates can be high enough to hold layers of climate data on monthly, or better, time resolution.
The Dome Summit South ice core from Law Dome, East Antarctica is 1200 m long and reveals an unusually high accumulation rate for Late Holocene precipitation (640 kg m2/a), dating to 90,000 years before present (BP) at its base.
Ice cores from coastal East Antarctica provide highly resolved records that capture seasonal variations … in a wide range of climate proxies.
