Switch-off of a major enhanced ice flow unit in East Antarctica [PDF]

, 2006
The East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) is the largest reservoir of ice on the planet by an order of magnitude. Compared with the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), it is traditionally considered to be relatively stable, with only minor adjustments to its ...

Ice velocity changes in the Ross and Ronne sectors observed using satellite radar data from 1997 and 2009 [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2012
We report changes in ice velocity of a 6.5 million km² region around South Pole encompassing the Filchner-Ronne and Ross Ice Shelves and a significant portion of the ice streams and glaciers that constitute their catchment areas ...

Modeling Ice‐Crystal Fabric as a Proxy for Ice‐Stream Stability [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2021
AbstractThe crystal structure within an ice sheet evolves in response to deformation; hence ice‐crystal fabric records ice‐flow history. However, the complexity of crystal‐fabric evolution, and the lack of model results with which to compare data, limit the usefulness of fabric measurements, particularly in areas with complex ice dynamics. Here, we use

West Antarctic Ice Streams [PDF]

, 1977
Solar heat is the acknowledged driving force for climatic change. However, ice sheets are also capable of causing climatic change. This property of ice sheets derives from the facts that ice and rock are crystalline whereas the oceans and atmosphere are ...

Subtemperate sliding reduces periodicity of ice stream temporal variability in a simple model

Journal of Glaciology
Understanding the formation and evolution of fast flowing ice streams is essential to projecting the response of ice sheets to climate forcings. Slow-flowing or stagnant ice streams can slide at low velocities over a bed that is below the bulk melting ...

Treatment of the ice-shelf backpressure and buttressing in two horizontal dimensions

Journal of Glaciology
The ice discharge from the grounded parts of marine ice sheets into the ocean is modulated by their floating extensions – ice shelves. The ice-shelf impact on the grounded ice is typically described as ‘backpressure’ or ‘buttressing’.

Thermal controls on ice stream shear margins

Journal of Glaciology, 2021
Ice stream discharge responds to a balance between gravity, basal friction and lateral drag. Appreciable viscous heating occurs in shear margins between ice streams and adjacent slow-moving ice ridges, altering the temperature-dependent viscosity ...

Advancing SafeWax, A Bio‐Inspired Superhydrophobic Coating, Toward Sustainable and Climate‐Resilient Crop Protection

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study advances SafeWax, a bio‐inspired, fatty‐acids‐based superhydrophobic coating, by identifying an agriculturally compliant solvent and revealing how solvent‐controlled Fatty acid crystallization governs the coating's microscopic structure and performance.

Morphology and distribution of lakes under the Laurentide Ice Sheet: implications for ice flow dynamics

Boreas
This study examines the distribution and morphology of lakes under the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) to investigate relationships with ice flow velocity, bedrock and basal thermal regime.

Evidence that seismic anisotropy captures upstream palaeo-ice fabric: Implications on present-day deformation at Whillans Ice Stream, Antarctica

Journal of Glaciology
Understanding deformation and slip at ice streams, which are responsible for 90% of Antarctic ice loss, are vital for accurately modelling large-scale ice flow. Ice crystal orientation fabric (COF) has a first-order effect on ice stream deformation.
