Ice-shelf Response to Ice-stream Discharge Fluctuations: II. Ideal Rectangular Ice Shelf [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1988 AbstractAbstract. Ice-shelf thickness and velocity anomalies resulting from ice-stream discharge fluctuations are calculated for an ideal ice shelf fed by a single ice stream and confined within a rectangular coastal geometry. Ice-shelf response to periodic forcing is found to be linear (thickness and velocity anomalies oscillate at the forcing ...

Recent results from the ARIANNA neutrino experiment [PDF]
, 2016 The ARIANNA experiment is currently taking data in its pilot-phase on the Ross ice-shelf. Fully autonomous stations measure radio signals in the frequency range from 100 MHz to 1 GHz. The seven station HRA was completed in December 2014, and augmented by

Ocean wave blocking by periodic surface rolls fortifies Arctic ice shelves
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 The Ward Hunt and Milne ice shelves are the present-day remnants of a much larger ice shelf that once fringed the coast of Ellesmere Island, Canada. These ice shelves possess a unique surface morphology consisting of wave-like rolls that run parallel to ...

Influence of tides on melting and freezing beneath Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica [PDF]
, 2011 An isopycnic coordinate ocean circulation model is applied to the ocean cavity beneath Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf, investigating the role of tides on sub-ice shelf circulation and ice shelf basal mass balance.

Decadal Variability of Ice‐Shelf Melting in the Amundsen Sea Driven by Sea‐Ice Freshwater Fluxes
Geophysical Research LettersThe ice streams flowing into the Amundsen Sea, West Antarctica, are losing mass due to changes in oceanic basal melting of their floating ice shelves. Rapid ice‐shelf melting is sustained by the delivery of warm Circumpolar Deep Water to the ice‐shelf ...

The speedup of Pine Island Ice Shelf between 2017 and 2020: revaluating the importance of ice damage
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 From 2017 to 2020, three significant calving events took place on Pine Island Glacier, West Antarctica. Ice-shelf velocities changed over this period and the calving events have been suggested as possible drivers.

A Modeling Experiment on the Grounding of an Ice Shelf in the Central Arctic Ocean During MIS 6 [PDF]
, 2003 High-resolution chirp sonar subbottom profiles from the Lomonosov Ridge in the central Arctic Ocean, acquired from the Swedish icebreaker Oden in 1996, revealed large-scale erosion of the ridge crest down to depths of 1000 m below present sea level ...
