Widespread seasonal speed-up of west Antarctic Peninsula glaciers from 2014 to 2021
Mass loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet is dominated by ice dynamics, where ocean-driven
melt leads to un-buttressing and ice flow acceleration. Long-term ice speed change has …

Ice flow variations at polar record glacier, East Antarctica
Relatively little is known about the physical mechanisms that drive the dynamics of the East
Antarctic outlet glaciers. Here we conduct a remote-sensing investigation of the Polar …

[HTML][HTML] Seasonal land-ice-flow variability in the Antarctic Peninsula
Recent satellite-remote sensing studies have documented the multi-decadal acceleration of
the Antarctic Ice Sheet in response to rapid rates of ice-sheet retreat and thinning. Unlike the …

Recent high-resolution Antarctic ice velocity maps reveal increased mass loss in Wilkes Land, East Antarctica
We constructed Antarctic ice velocity maps from Landsat 8 images for the years 2014 and
2015 at a high spatial resolution (100 m). These maps were assembled from 10,690 scenes …

High spatial and temporal variability in Antarctic ice discharge linked to ice shelf buttressing and bed geometry
Antarctica's contribution to global mean sea level rise has been driven by an increase in ice
discharge into the oceans. The rate of change and the mechanisms that drive variability in …

Ice flow dynamics and mass loss of Totten Glacier, East Antarctica, from 1989 to 2015
X Li, E Rignot, J Mouginot… - Geophysical Research …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Totten Glacier has the largest ice discharge in East Antarctica and a basin grounded mostly
below sea level. Satellite altimetry data have revealed ice thinning in areas of fast flow. Here …

Inter-decadal climate variability induces differential ice response along Pacific-facing West Antarctica
West Antarctica has experienced dramatic ice losses contributing to global sea-level rise in
recent decades, particularly from Pine Island and Thwaites glaciers. Although these ice …

Ocean warming drives rapid dynamic activation of marine-terminating glacier on the west Antarctic Peninsula
Ice dynamic change is the primary cause of mass loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet, thus it is
important to understand the processes driving ice-ocean interactions and the timescale on …
