Stability of Ice Shelves and Ice Cliffs in a Changing Climate [PDF]

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences
The largest uncertainty in future sea-level rise is loss of ice from the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets. Ice shelves, freely floating platforms of ice that fringe the ice sheets, play a crucial role in restraining discharge of grounded ice into the ocean through buttressing.

Ice shelves and ice flow

Nature, 1975
New data on the Ross Ice Shelf provide an insight into the importance of the momentum with which an ice stream enters the shelf for the overall velocity field.

The flow and fracture of Antarctic Ice Shelves

2023
This thesis explores the deformation of glacier ice, with an aim of deriving insights into its flow and fracture through satellite remote sensing methods. Glaciers deform through the driving force of their own weight and display dramatic responses to both external forcing, such as changes in climate, and internal forcing like variations in stress. Here,

The area of ice shelves in Antarctica

Polar Record, 1964
In Polar Record, Vol 11, No 75,1963, p 735, I. A. Suyetova made calculations of the area of Antarctica and of its major ice shelves based on published and unpublished material available up to 1961. Suyetova's estimate of the area of the ice shelves, excluding attached islands and ice rises, is 1–38 × 106 km2.

Analytical Models of Ice Sheets and Ice Shelves

2020
Simple mathematical models for ice sheets and ice shelves are described which provide important insights into their dynamics. The models studied can be solved analytically to give equilibrium surface profiles and velocity distributions. Consideration is given to the feedback between surface elevation and mass balance.

Ice sheet margins and ice shelves

1984
The effect of climate warming on the size of ice sheet margins in polar regions is considered. Particular attention is given to the possibility of a rapid response to warming on the order of tens to hundreds of years. It is found that the early response of the polar regions to climate warming would be an increase in the area of summer melt on the ice ...

Asymptotic Theories of Ice Sheets and Ice Shelves

2007
In climate dynamics of the Globe the atmosphere, hydrosphere and cryosphere interplay with one another with various different time scales, typically from years to several millennia. Ice sheets and ice shelves, which are the grounded and floating components of the large ice masses such as Greenland and Antarctica and the former Fennoscandinavian and ...

The Flow of Ice Sheets and Ice Shelves

1993
A brief survey of the mathematical and numerical modelling of ice sheet and ice shelf flows is presented, emphasising the developments over the last decade. For the very slow gravity driven flow of natural ice masses over time scales of thousands of years, the ice is modelled by an incompressible non-linearly viscous fluid with a temperature dependent ...

Greenland Ice Shelves and Ice Tongues

2017
This chapter focuses on a review of the glaciers on north and northeast Greenland that terminate in fiords with long glacier tongues and floating, ice-shelf-like margins. There is some debate as to whether these glacier tongues can be classified as a traditional ice shelf, so the relevant literature and physical properties are reviewed.
