Damage intensity increases ice mass loss from Thwaites Glacier, Antarctica [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Ice damage, which results from the formation and development of crevasses on glaciers, plays a critical role in ice-shelf stability, grounding-line retreat, and subsequent sea-level rise. Yet, few ice-sheet models explicitly account for ice damage or its

Harnessing Non‐Covalent Protein–Protein Interaction Domains for Production of Biocatalytic Materials Systems

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Non‐covalent protein–protein interactions mediated by SH3, PDZ, or GBD domains enable the self‐assembly of stable and biocatalytically active hydrogel materials. These soft materials can be processed into monodisperse foams that, once dried, exhibit enhanced mechanical stability and activity and are easily integrated into microstructured flow ...

ICESHEET 1.0: a program to produce paleo-ice sheet reconstructions with minimal assumptions [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2016
We describe a program that produces paleo-ice sheet reconstructions using an assumption of steady-state, perfectly plastic ice flow behaviour. It incorporates three input parameters: ice margin, basal shear stress and basal topography.

Instantaneous Antarctic ice sheet mass loss driven by thinning ice shelves

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
Recent observations show that the rate at which the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) is contributing to sea level rise is increasing. Increases in ice‐ocean heat exchange have the potential to induce substantial mass loss through the melting of its ice shelves.

Electrically Tunable On‐Chip Topological Photonics with Integrated Carbon Nanotubes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates electrically tunable on‐chip topological THz devices by integrating 2D carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets with valley‐Hall photonic crystals, enabling broadband transmission modulation (71% modulation depth) and tunable narrowband filtering (0.54 GHz shift) through electrically induced thermal tuning. This advancement paves the way for

Hysteresis of the Antarctic Ice Sheet With a Coupled Climate‐Ice‐Sheet Model

Geophysical Research Letters
The stability of the Antarctic ice sheet under different fixed CO2 levels and orbital configurations is explored using a coupled climate‐ice sheet model, starting from either a pre‐industrial ice sheet or an ice‐free, isostatically rebounded geometry ...

Past ice-sheet behaviour: retreat scenarios and changing controls in the Ross Sea, Antarctica [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2016
Studying the history of ice-sheet behaviour in the Ross Sea, Antarctica's largest drainage basin can improve our understanding of patterns and controls on marine-based ice-sheet dynamics and provide constraints for numerical ice-sheet models.

Solid Earth change and the evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet

Nature Communications, 2019
Recent studies suggest that Antarctica has the potential to contribute up to ~15 m of sea-level rise over the next few centuries. The evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is driven by a combination of climate forcing and non-climatic feedbacks.
