Alpine glacier algal bloom during a record melt year [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Glacier algal blooms dominate the surfaces of glaciers and ice sheets during summer melt seasons, with larger blooms anticipated in years that experience the greatest melt.

Application of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Imagery on Antarctic Glaciology

Antarctic Record, 1995
Antarctic sea ice and ice sheet were studied using the ERS-1 and JERS-1 SAR images received at Syowa Station in 1991-1993. Analysis was mainly done for sea ice in Lutzow-Holm Bay, ice streams flowing into the bay, ice sheet near the coast and inland ...

An updated seabed bathymetry beneath Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctic Peninsula [PDF]

Earth System Science Data, 2020
In recent decades, rapid ice shelf disintegration along the Antarctic Peninsula has had a global impact through enhancing outlet glacier flow and hence sea level rise and the freshening of Antarctic Bottom Water.

Weathering alteration in the Antarctic environment as seen in the Miller Range (MIL) 090030 Martian meteorite

Annals of Glaciology, 2023
The analysis of Martian meteorites is a key research to understand the mineralogical composition of Mars. However, they suffer different types of alteration due to the environment where they fall on Earth.

Polarimetric radar reveals the spatial distribution of ice fabric at domes and divides in East Antarctica [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2022
Ice crystals are mechanically and dielectrically anisotropic. They progressively align under cumulative deformation, forming an ice-crystal-orientation fabric that, in turn, impacts ice deformation.

Steep ice – progress and future challenges in research on ice cliffs

Annals of Glaciology, 2022
Ice cliffs are features along ice sheet margins, along tropical mountain glaciers, at termini of mountain glaciers and on debris-covered glacier tongues, that have received scattered attention in literature.

Ambient high-frequency seismic surface waves in the firn column of central west Antarctica

Journal of Glaciology, 2022
Firn is the pervasive surface material across Antarctica, and its structures reflect its formation and history in response to environmental perturbations.

Historical occurrence of Antarctic icebergs within mercantile shipping routes and the exceptional events of the 1890s

Journal of Glaciology, 2023
A major consideration for maritime activity in the Southern Hemisphere is the northern limit of icebergs, or the Southern Ocean Limit Of Known Ice (SOLOKI).

The 1789 Christmas Eve collision of the HMS Guardian with an iceberg in the southwest Indian Ocean

Annals of Glaciology, 2022
In the evening of 24 December 1789, 2100 km southeast of Cape Town and after encountering three icebergs, the HMS Guardian under Captain Edward Riou collided with the submerged foot of a large iceberg.

The influence of environmental microseismicity on detection and interpretation of small-magnitude events in a polar glacier setting

Journal of Glaciology, 2020
Glacial environments exhibit temporally variable microseismicity. To investigate how microseismicity influences event detection, we implement two noise-adaptive digital power detectors to process seismic data from Taylor Glacier, Antarctica.
