Progress of Japanese glaciological research in the Antarctic.
Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) established Syowa Station on East Ongul Island in Lutzow-Holm Bay in January 1957 and an inland station Mizuho in July 1970. These two stations have been the bases for glaciological work of JARE in conjunction with the research at home laboratories.

Sub-debris melt rates on southern Inylchek Glacier, central Tian Shan [PDF]
Melt rates of glacier surfaces are strongly influenced by the existence of a debris cover. Dependent on thickness and other physical parameters the debris layer can enhance or reduce ablation as compared to bare ice conditions.

The polar expression of ENSO and sea-ice variability as recorded in a South Pole ice core [PDF]
An annually dated ice core recovered from South Pole (2850 m a.s.l.) in 1995, that covers the period 1487–1992, was analyzed for the marine biogenic sulfur species methanesulfonate (MS).

Tide-modulated ice motion and seismicity of a floating glacier tongue in East Antarctica
We recorded the ice motion and icequakes on the floating part of Langhovde Glacier in East Antarctica to better understand the dynamic behavior of ice shelves and floating tongues.

Taylor Glacier hosts an active englacial hydrologic system that feeds Blood Falls, a supraglacial outflow of iron-rich subglacial brine at the terminus, despite mean annual air temperatures of −17°C and limited surface melt.

Glaciological Modelling of the Late Cenozoic East Antarctic Ice Sheet: Stability or Dynamism? [PDF]
On the basis of geological arguments, two widely different hypotheses have been proposed for the late-Tertiary glacial history of East Antarctica. Theseinvoke ice-sheet reconstructions ranging from severe glaciation completely burying the Transantarctic Mountains to a situation, in which an unstable EastAntarctic Ice Sheet repeatedly collapses to ...

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

Entrainment, transport and concentration of meteorites in polar ice sheets [PDF]
Glaciers and ice sheets act as slow-moving conveyancing systems for material added to both their upper and lower surfaces. Because the transit time for most materials is extremely long the ice acts as a major global storage facility.
