Analysis of ice shelf flexure and its InSAR representation in the grounding zone of the southern McMurdo Ice Shelf [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 We examine tidal flexure in the grounding zone of the McMurdo Ice Shelf, Antarctica, using a combination of TerraSAR-X repeat-pass radar interferometry, a precise digital elevation model, and GPS ground validation data.

Basal mass balance and prevalence of ice tongues in the Western ross sea
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Ice tongues at the fringes of the Antarctic ice sheet lose mass primarily through both basal melting and calving. They are sensitive to ocean conditions which can weaken the ice both mechanically or through thinning.

On the interpretation of ice-shelf flexure measurements
Journal of Glaciology, 2017 Tidal flexure in ice shelf grounding zones has been used extensively in the past to determine grounding line position and ice properties. Although the rheology of ice is viscoelastic at tidal loading frequencies, most modelling studies have assumed some ...

Health challenges on research and cruise ship expeditions to Antarctica
Health Promotion & Physical Activity, 2022 Antarctica is one of the last great wilderness areas on Earth. Early Antarctic expeditions during the Heroic Age of Antarctic discovery (1895–1922) returned reports of frostbite, scurvy, snow blindness, and death.

The variability of climate in Indian Ocean sector of East Antarctica over the past 350 years
Лëд и снег, 2015 The temperature and snow accumulation rate anomaly over the past 350 years have been reconstructed based on isotopic composition of shallow ice cores and snow pits samples as well as glaciological observations in pits and at stake farms located in Indian

Snow-driven uncertainty in CryoSat-2-derived Antarctic sea ice thickness – insights from McMurdo Sound [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 Knowledge of the snow depth distribution on Antarctic sea ice is poor but is critical to obtaining sea ice thickness from satellite altimetry measurements of the freeboard.
