Seasonal and diurnal variability of sub-ice platelet layer thickness in McMurdo Sound from electromagnetic induction sounding [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere
Here, we present observations of temporal variability of sub-ice platelet layer over seasonal and diurnal timescales under Ice Shelf Water-influenced fast ice in McMurdo Sound.

Intense Winter Surface Melt on an Antarctic Ice Shelf

open access: yes, 2018
The occurrence of surface melt in Antarctica has hitherto been associated with the austral summer season, when the dominant source of melt energy is provided by solar radiation.

Normal modes of a coupled ice-shelf/sub-ice-shelf cavity system [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2013
AbstractIce shelves and ice tongues are dynamically coupled to their cavities. Here we compute normal modes (eigenfrequencies and eigenfunctions) of this coupled system using a thin-plate approximation for the ice shelf and potential water flow in the ice-shelf cavity.

Finite Element Analysis of Small Scale Continuous Calving [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Ice shelves are floating ice masses, which are sensitive to climate changes. The main mechanisms for the mass loss of ice shelves around Antarctica are basal melting and calving.

Ocean mixing beneath Pine Island Glacier ice shelf, West Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Ice shelves around Antarctica are vulnerable to an increase in ocean-driven melting, with the melt rate depending on ocean temperature and the strength of flow inside the ice-shelf cavities.

Ross Ice Shelf Icequakes Associated With Ocean Gravity Wave Activity

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2019
Gravity waves impacting ice shelves illicit a suite of responses that can affect ice shelf integrity. Broadband seismometers deployed on the Ross Ice Shelf, complemented by a near‐icefront seafloor hydrophone, establish the association of strong icequake

High basal melting forming a channel at the grounding line of Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Antarctica's ice shelves are thinning at an increasing rate, affecting their buttressing ability. Channels in the ice shelf base unevenly distribute melting, and their evolution provides insight into changing subglacial and oceanic conditions.

Remote Sensing of Antarctic Glacier and Ice-Shelf Front Dynamics - A Review

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
The contribution of Antarctica’s ice sheet to global sea-level rise depends on the very dynamic behavior of glaciers and ice shelves. One important parameter of ice-sheet dynamics is the location of glacier and ice-shelf fronts.
