Multi-decadal collapse of East Antarctica's Conger–Glenzer Ice Shelf Nature Geoscience, 2024 (Ref: 17290)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Antarctica is currently losing net mass to the ocean primarily from West Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula, which together hold ~5.5?m of sea level rise potential. Yet, the East Antarctic Ice Sheet stores almost ten times more ice…

Earth at 1.5 degrees warming: How vulnerable is Antarctica? Dialogues on Climate Change, 2025 (Ref: 17284)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Antarctic Ice Sheet is integral to Earth's climate system, influencing global energy and water cycles, and ecosystems. Enough ice is stored in regions most vulnerable to rapid retreat to cause sea levels to rise by ?15?m if they completely melted, making their stability a key concern.

Cryosat-2 Validation over Law Dome and the Totten Glacier in East Antarctica - ASIRAS, ALS and Cryosat-2 SAR-In Data Analysis. American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting 2012, San Francisco, USA, 3-7 December 2012, 2012 (Ref: 14996)
Category 3: Poster

The joint TOT-Cal / CryoVExANT2011 project contributes to the validation of the CryoSat-2 altimetry mission through investigations of a key portion of the East Antarctic ice sheet near Australia’s Casey Station. Spanning parts of Law Dome and the Totten Glacier…

Cryosat-2 Validation over Law Dome and the Totten Glacier In East Antarctica – Aircraft Trajectory Accuracy Assessment. 20 Years of Progress in Radar Altimetry, Venice, Italy, 24-29 September 2012, 2012 (Ref: 14998)
Category 3: Conference paper

The TotCal / CryoVExANT2011 project is an Australian and German collaboration that contributes to the validation of the CryoSat-2 radar altimetry mission through investigations of a key portion of East Antarctica near the Australian Casey Station.

Properties of a marine ice layer under the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica Journal of Glaciology, 2009 (Ref: 13931)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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.

Ice sheet mass balance and sea level Antarctic Science, 2009 (Ref: 13839)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Determining the mass balance of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets (GIS and AIS) has long … been a major challenge for polar science. But until recent advances in measurement technology…

A 4-decade record of elevation change of the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica Journal of Geophysical Research, 2009 (Ref: 13732)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We report on long-term surface elevation changes of the central Amery Ice Shelf … (AIS) by comparing elevation records spanning 4 decades (1968–2007). We use elevation … records acquired with the following methods: optical leveling (1968–1969); ERS … radar altimetry (1992–2003); GPS (1995–2006)…

Ice shelf disintegration by plate bending and hydro-fracture: Satellite observations and model results of the 2008 Wilkins ice shelf break-ups Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2009 (Ref: 13659)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Satellite remote sensing observations of three break-up events in 2008 for the Wilkins Ice Shelf (28 February … to 6 March, 27 May to 31 May, and 28 June to mid-July) provide unprecedented detail of ice shelf calving … during rapid break-up.

Ice sheet mass balance and sea level SCAR/IASC IPY Open Science Conference, St. Petersburg, Russia, July 8-11 2008. Abstract Volume, keynote presentation K008, 2008 (Ref: 13460)
Category 3: Abstract

Because of the vast reservoirs of water mass held in the great ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland, determining the … role that they play in global sea level has long been a major challenge of polar science. But until recent advances in … measurement technology…

Episodic propagation of a rift on the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica. Geophysical Research Letters, 2005 (Ref: 12648)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We investigate ice shelf rift propagation using a … combination of GPS and seismic measurements near the … tip of an active rift in the Amery Ice Shelf. These … measurements reveal that propagation occurs in episodic … bursts…

Distribution of marine ice beneath the Amery Ice Shelf. Geophysical Research Letters, 2001 (Ref: 9884)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We present a map of the distribution of marine ice accreted to the base of the Amery Ice Shelf (AIS), East Antarctica. This map is derived by converting a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the AIS generated from satellite radar altimeter data to an ice thickness map, assuming hydrostatic equilibrium…

Mass balance of the Lambert Glacier - Amery Ice Shelf system, East Antarctica: a comparison of computed balance fluxes and measured fluxes. Journal of Glaciology, 2000 (Ref: 9387)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We combine ERS-1 satellite radar altimeter surface elevations (Fricker and others, this issue) with six different accumulation distributions to compute balance fluxes for the Lambert Glacier-Amery Ice Shelf Drainage system.

Digital Elevation Models for the Lambert Glacier - Amery Ice Shelf system, East Antarctica, from ERS-1 satellite radar altimetry. Journal of Glaciology, 2000 (Ref: 9365)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Lambert Glacier–Amery Ice Shelf system is a major component of the East Antarctic ice sheet. This paper presents two Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) that have been generated for the Lambert Glacier - Amery Ice Shelf system from validated ERS-1 satellite radar altimeter waveform data.
