Brief communication: Reduced bandwidth improves the depth limit of the radar coherence method for detecting ice crystal fabric asymmetry [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Ice crystal orientation fabric strongly affects the viscous deformation of glacier ice. A popular technique to investigate ice fabric is radar polarimetry, often analysed using the coherence method.

Geothermal heat flux of Ridge B region in Antarctica inferred from basal dry–wet distribution

Journal of Glaciology
Ridge B is one of the least studied areas in Antarctica but has been considered to be a potential location for the oldest ice on Earth. Among important parameters for calculating where very old ice may exist, geothermal heat flux (GHF) is critical but ...

Glaciological bodies: Australian visions of the Antarctic ice sheet

International Review of Environmental History, 2018
Building upon work in environmental history and the history of science that has critically investigated the relationships between humans and ice, this article approaches the history of the Antarctic ice sheet through the particular experiences, practices and ideas of Australian glaciologists between the late 1940s and late 1980s. It seeks to understand

Estimating effective elasticity in grounding zones of the Ross Ice Shelf with tidal flexure from ICESat-2

Journal of Glaciology
The grounding zones of Antarctic ice shelves are among the continent’s most dynamic regions, where floating ice shelves buttress grounded upstream ice and tidal forcing drives cyclic flexure at the ice–ocean–bed interface.

Mapping Antarctic Blue Ice Areas With Sentinel-2A/B Images and LightGBM Model

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Antarctic blue ice plays a crucial role in surface energy balance and paleoclimate research. A high-accuracy and comprehensive dataset of blue ice areas (BIAs) is essential for understanding climate dynamics and environmental changes in the region. While

A synthesis of the basal thermal state of the Antarctic ice sheet

Journal of Glaciology
The basal thermal state of the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS)—whether the base is frozen or thawed—fundamentally underpins its flow and is an important factor in understanding its large-scale response to external forcings.
