Ocean tide influences on the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets

L Padman, MR Siegfried, HA Fricker - Reviews of Geophysics, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Ocean tides are the main source of high‐frequency variability in the vertical and horizontal
motion of ice sheets near their marine margins. Floating ice shelves, which occupy about …

K Matsuoka, RCA Hindmarsh, G Moholdt… - Earth-science …, 2015 - Elsevier
Locally grounded features in ice shelves, called ice rises and rumples, play a key role
buttressing discharge from the Antarctic Ice Sheet and regulating its contribution to sea level …

[HTML][HTML] Quantarctica, an integrated mapping environment for Antarctica, the Southern Ocean, and sub-Antarctic islands

Volume loss from Antarctic ice shelves is accelerating

FS Paolo, HA Fricker, L Padman - Science, 2015 - science.org
The floating ice shelves surrounding the Antarctic Ice Sheet restrain the grounded ice-sheet
flow. Thinning of an ice shelf reduces this effect, leading to an increase in ice discharge to …

Antarctic ice shelf disintegration triggered by sea ice loss and ocean swell

RA Massom, TA Scambos, LG Bennetts, P Reid… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
Understanding the causes of recent catastrophic ice shelf disintegrations is a crucial step
towards improving coupled models of the Antarctic Ice Sheet and predicting its future state …

Antarctic ice-sheet loss driven by basal melting of ice shelves

HD Pritchard, SRM Ligtenberg, HA Fricker… - Nature, 2012 - nature.com
Accurate prediction of global sea-level rise requires that we understand the cause of recent,
widespread and intensifying, glacier acceleration along Antarctic ice-sheet coastal margins …

Ice-shelf melting around Antarctica

E Rignot, S Jacobs, J Mouginot, B Scheuchl - Science, 2013 - science.org
We compare the volume flux divergence of Antarctic ice shelves in 2007 and 2008 with 1979
to 2010 surface accumulation and 2003 to 2008 thinning to determine their rates of melting …

Meltwater produced by wind–albedo interaction stored in an East Antarctic ice shelf

JTM Lenaerts, S Lhermitte, R Drews… - Nature climate …, 2017 - nature.com
Surface melt and subsequent firn air depletion can ultimately lead to disintegration of
Antarctic ice shelves, causing grounded glaciers to accelerate and sea level to rise. In the …

Antarctic mapping tools for MATLAB

CA Greene, DE Gwyther, DD Blankenship - Computers & Geosciences, 2017 - Elsevier
Abstract We present the Antarctic Mapping Tools package, an open-source Matlab toolbox
for analysis and plotting of Antarctic geospatial datasets. This toolbox is designed to …

Antarctic basal environment shaped by high-pressure flow through a subglacial river system

CF Dow, N Ross, H Jeofry, K Siu, MJ Siegert - Nature Geoscience, 2022 - nature.com
The stability of ice sheets and their contributions to sea level are modulated by high-
pressure water that lubricates the base of the ice, facilitating rapid flow into the ocean. In …
