Geological and tectonic evolution of the Transantarctic Mountains, from ancient craton to recent enigma
JW Goodge - Gondwana Research, 2020 - Elsevier
Abstract The Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) are one of Earth's great mountain belts and
are a fundamental physiographic feature of Antarctica. They are continental-scale, traverse a …

Geothermal heat flow in Antarctica: current and future directions
Antarctic geothermal heat flow (GHF) affects the temperature of the ice sheet, determining its
ability to slide and internally deform, as well as the behaviour of the continental crust …

High geothermal heat flux measured below the West Antarctic Ice Sheet
The geothermal heat flux is a critical thermal boundary condition that influences the melting,
flow, and mass balance of ice sheets, but measurements of this parameter are difficult to …

A geothermal heat flux map of Antarctica empirically constrained by seismic structure
The geothermal heat flux (GHF) is an important boundary condition for modeling the
movement of the Antarctic ice sheet but is difficult to measure systematically at a continental …

A new volcanic province: an inventory of subglacial volcanoes in West Antarctica
Abstract The West Antarctic Ice Sheet overlies the West Antarctic Rift System about which,
due to the comprehensive ice cover, we have only limited and sporadic knowledge of …

The crust and upper mantle structure of central and West Antarctica from Bayesian inversion of Rayleigh wave and receiver functions
We construct a new seismic model for central and West Antarctica by jointly inverting
Rayleigh wave phase and group velocities along with P wave receiver functions. Ambient …
