Exploration glaciology: radar and Antarctic ice

Physics Education, 2007
The Antarctic ice sheets hold a huge reservoir of ice in a dynamic cycle fed by falling snow and drained by glaciers and ice streams. In order to predict future changes to sea level, it is vital to measure the ice sheet volume, to monitor changes in glacier flow and thickness, and to attempt to reconstruct the history of ice sheet behaviour.

The foundations of Antarctic glaciology

Archives of Natural History, 2005
Heroic treks inland by Scott, Shackleton, and Amundsen in the early 1900s demonstrated the immensity of the Antarctic ice cover. But it has taken a century to estimate its volume and elucidate its intricate dynamics. Three significant milestones in the development of Antarctic glaciology have been: the memoir Glaciology by Charles Wright and Raymond ...

Glaciological research in the Antarctic Peninsula

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1977
Abstract The Antarctic Peninsula is a good place for studies that take advantage of its wide range of latitude. Other worthwhile investigations are those that set in context the glacier/climate relationships and provide a framework of basic glaciological data.

Gas inclusions in the Antarctic ice sheet and their glaciological significance

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1975
Cores obtained to the bottom of the Antarctic Ice Sheet at Byrd Station have been used to analyze some physical properties of the air bubbles trapped in the ice. These bubbles constitute the remnant air that is retained when polar snow transforms into glacial ice. Parameters measured included size, shape, abundance, and spatial distribution of bubbles,

Objectives of Antarctic Glaciological Research

2013
Antarctic glaciological studies should focus principally upon features unique to the region and upon basic relations of worldâ€wide significance. Antarctic ice is the greatest mass of landâ€locked water substance on Earth, and determination of its volume by geophysical means is needed with respect to a complete world water inventory, to a determination
