Platinum Group Element Traces of CAMP Volcanism Associated With Low‐Latitude Environmental and Biological Disruptions

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 263-304., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Extraction and Analysis of the Three-Dimensional Features of Crevasses in the Amery Ice Shelf Based on ICESat-2 ATL06 Data

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021
Crevasse is an important characteristic of ice shelf internal structure, and also an important index to measure the stability of ice shelf. This study aims to detect crevasses from ICESat-2 data and obtain three-dimensional features of the crevasse ...

Automatic mapping and geomorphometry extraction technique for crevasses in geodetic mass-balance calculations at Haig Glacier, Canadian Rockies

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2019
Finely resolved geodetic data provide an opportunity to assess the extent and morphology of crevasses and their change over time. Crevasses have the potential to bias geodetic measurements of elevation and mass change unless they are properly accounted ...

Search and recovery of aircraft parts in ice-sheet crevasse fields using airborne and in situ geophysical sensors

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2020
On 30 September 2017, an Air France Airbus A380-800 suffered a failure of its fourth engine while over Greenland. This failure resulted in the loss of the engine fan hub, fan blades and surrounding structure.

Radio-echo sounding and waveform modeling reveal abundant marine ice in former rifts and basal crevasses within Crary Ice Rise, Antarctica

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2021
Crary Ice Rise formed after the Ross Ice Shelf re-grounded ~1 kyr BP. We present new ice-penetrating radar data from two systems operating at center frequencies of 7 and 750 MHz that confirm the ice rise is composed of a former ice shelf buried by ...

Automated detection and temporal monitoring of crevasses using remote sensing and their implications for glacier dynamics

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 2016
Detailed studies on temporal changes of crevasses and their linkage with glacier dynamics are scarce in the Himalayan context. Observations of temporally changing surficial crevasse patterns and their orientations are suggestive of the processes that ...

Tides modulate crevasse opening prior to a major calving event at Bowdoin Glacier, Northwest Greenland

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2020
Retreat of calving glaciers worldwide has contributed substantially to sea-level rise in recent decades. Mass loss by calving contributes significantly to the uncertainty of sea-level rise projections.

Fifty-five years of Russian radio-echo sounding investigations in Antarctica

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 2020
Russian (former Soviet) systematic studies of Antarctica by radio-echo sounding (RES) and ground-penetrating radar technique (GPR) were commenced in 1964.

Automated detection of basal icequakes and discrimination from surface crevassing

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 2019
Icequakes at or near the bed of a glacier have the potential to allow us to investigate the interaction of ice with the underlying till or bedrock. Understanding this interaction is important for studying basal sliding of glaciers and ice streams, a ...

Bottom Crevasses [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 1980
AbstractAn approximate calculation is made of the rate at which a bottom crevasse in a cold ice shelf or tabular iceberg can close shut by freezing of water and can creep open through the creep deformation of ice. In all but the thickest ice shelves and icebergs, those with a thickness greater than about 400 m, the freezing process is the more ...
