The Antarctic Subglacial Lake Vostok: Glaciology, Biology and Planetology [PDF]
Igor Zotikov has been involved in Antarctic glaciological research since the 1957–1958 third International Polar Year (IPY). His theoretical analyses of ice flow and heat transfer were important early contributions to our present understanding of the Antarctic Ice Sheet.

The Grounding of an Ice Shelf in the Central Arctic Ocean: A Modeling Experiment [PDF]
A numerical ice sheet model was used in a first test towards evaluating the hypothesis that, during a period of large-scale glaciation, an ice shelf emanating from the Barents/Kara Seas grounded across parts of the Lomonosov Ridge to a depth of around ...

A Hierarchical Spatio-Temporal Statistical Model Motivated by Glaciology [PDF]
In this paper, we extend and analyze a Bayesian hierarchical spatio-temporal model for physical systems. A novelty is to model the discrepancy between the output of a computer simulator for a physical process and the actual process values with a ...

Abstract During the 2018 Southern Hemisphere winter, a pronounced surface air temperature positive anomaly occurred over East Antarctica, with Zhongshan Station recording its highest winter‐mean air temperature since 2007. Combining in situ observations, satellite remote sensing, and reanalysis data sets, this study diagnoses the temperature anomalies ...

Abstract Dielectric anisotropy in ice alters the propagation of polarized radio waves, so polarimetric radar sounding can be used to survey anisotropic properties of ice masses. Ice anisotropy is either intrinsic, associated with ice‐crystal orientation fabric (COF), or extrinsic, associated with material heterogeneity, such as bubbles, fractures, and ...

Abstract Three blue‐ice areas in the upper reaches of Rennick Glacier, East Antarctica, are investigated using satellite remote sensing to assess the influence of meso‐ to large‐scale glaciological structures on cryoconite hole distributions. In total, 15,299 cryoconite holes and 1 600 structures were geospatially analyzed, which indicate that ...

Radar surveys across ice sheets typically measure numerous englacial layers that can often be regarded as isochrones. Such layers are valuable for extrapolating age–depth relationships away from ice-core locations, reconstructing palaeoaccumulation ...

Abstract Estimating the seismic reflectivity of the glacial ice‐bed interface is a powerful means to quantify subglacial properties, which is important for parameterizing sliding laws in ice sheet models and understanding ice sheet history. Amplitude‐versus‐angle (AVA) analysis measures reflectivity with incidence angle and is sensitive to the ...

Surface velocity fluctuations for Glaciar Universidad, central Chile, between 1967 and 2015
For the Andes Cordillera, where observed mass-balance records are sparse, long-term glacier velocity measurements potentially represent a useful tool for assessing glacier health.
