A steady-state model reconstruction of the patagonian ice sheet during the last glacial maximum
During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), the Patagonian Ice Sheet (PIS) was the largest Quaternary ice mass in the Southern Hemisphere outside of Antarctica. Although the margins of the LGM ice sheet are now well established through end-moraine mapping and

Anomalous secular sea-level acceleration in the Baltic Sea caused by isostatic adjustment
Observations from the global array of tide gauges show that global sea-level has been rising at an average rate of 1.5-2 mm/yr during the last ~150 years [Douglas 1991, Spada and Galassi 2012]. Although a global sea-level acceleration was initially ruled

SELEN4 (SELEN version 4.0): a Fortran program for solving the gravitationally and topographically self-consistent sea-level equation in glacial isostatic adjustment modeling [PDF]
We present SELEN4 (SealEveL EquatioN solver), an open-source program written in Fortran 90 that simulates the glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) process in response to the melting of the Late Pleistocene ice sheets.

Influence of chemically-modified cotton straw fibers on the properties of asphalt mortar
Cotton straw fibers have an important influence on the performance of asphalt mixtures. However, the modification of cotton straw fibers and the performance characterization between the treated cotton straw fibers and asphalt are still lack of ...

How old is the ice beneath Dome A, Antarctica? [PDF]
Chinese scientists will start to drill a deep ice core at Kunlun station near Dome A in the near future. Recent work has predicted that Dome A is a location where ice older than 1 million years can be found.

Strain rate and stress are widely regarded as crucial indicators for quantifying glacier dynamics on sub-monthly scales. However, existing frameworks for quality assessment of both strain rate and stress in fast-moving glaciers remain insufficient ...
