PLISMIP-ANT, an ice-sheet model intercomparison project [PDF]

, 2015
In the context of future climate change, understanding the nature and behaviour of ice sheets during warm intervals in Earth history is of fundamental importance.

The Antarctic Ice Sheet–A Sleeping Giant?

Frontiers for Young Minds, 2022
The coldest, the windiest, the driest: the continent of Antarctica is a place of extremes. Located at the South Pole, Antarctica is covered by a vast ice sheet, millions of years old and in some areas more than 4,000 m thick. If all this ice were to melt, sea levels would rise by roughly 58 m.

Remote Sensing of Antarctic Glacier and Ice-Shelf Front Dynamics—A Review

Remote Sensing, 2018
The contribution of Antarctica’s ice sheet to global sea-level rise depends on the very dynamic behavior of glaciers and ice shelves. One important parameter of ice-sheet dynamics is the location of glacier and ice-shelf fronts.

Physical processes and feedbacks obscuring the future of the Antarctic Ice Sheet

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022
The Antarctic Ice Sheet holds a vital role in Earth's climate system and its changes have global implications for the climate, sea level, coastal ecosystems and population.

Antarctic bedrock topography uncertainty and ice sheet stability [PDF]

, 2015
All Rights Reserved. Antarctic bedrock elevation estimates have uncertainties exceeding 1km in certain regions. Bedrock elevation, particularly where the bedrock is below sea level and bordering the ocean, can have a large impact on ice sheet stability ...

Combustion of available fossil-fuel resources sufficient to eliminate the Antarctic Ice Sheet [PDF]

, 2015
The Antarctic Ice Sheet stores water equivalent to 58 m in global sea-level rise. We show in simulations using the Parallel Ice Sheet Model that burning the currently attainable fossil fuel resources is sufficient to eliminate the ice sheet.

Report on the geomorphological survey in the Soya Coast (JARE-61)

Antarctic Record, 2020
The Antarctic Ice Sheet is a major source of future sea-level rise due to global warming. Reconstruction of the past Antarctic Ice Sheet is essential to understand the mechanism of the Antarctic Ice Sheet response to global and regional climate changes ...

Investigating the impact of sub-ice shelf melt on Antarctic ice sheet spin-up and projections [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Sub-ice shelf melting is critical for the stability of the Antarctic ice sheet, as it influences ice-shelf buttressing that reduces grounded ice flow. Previous studies have emphasized that uncertainties in the state of sub-ice shelf melting contribute to

Modelling the evolution of the Antarctic ice sheet since the last interglacial [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2014
We present the effects of changing two sliding parameters, a deformational velocity parameter and two bedrock deflection parameters on the evolution of the Antarctic ice sheet over the period from the last interglacial until the present.

A stratigraphic link across 1100 km of the Antarctic Ice Sheet between the Vostok ice-core site and Titan Dome (near South Pole) [PDF]

, 2000
Isochronous internal ice-sheet layering, measured from airborne 60 MHz radar, was traced between Lake Vostok and the Titan Ice Dome (100 km from South Pole Station), Antarctica. Three layers were selected between Ridge B and Titan Dome, and between Ridge
