Switch-off of a major enhanced ice flow unit in East Antarctica [PDF]
, 2006 The East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) is the largest reservoir of ice on the planet by an order of magnitude. Compared with the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), it is traditionally considered to be relatively stable, with only minor adjustments to its ...

New modeling of the Vostok ice flow line and implication for the glaciological chronology of the Vostok ice core [PDF]
, 2004 We have used new spaceborne (elevation) and airborne (ice thickness) data to constrain a 2D1/2 model of snow accumulation and ice flow along the Ridge B-Vostok station ice flow line (East Antarctica).

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