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 …

An ice age model is proposed in which glacial‐interglacial global climatic cycles are
controlled by interactions between the cryosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere in the …

Data pertaining to the dynamics and history of the west antarctic ice cover are reviewed and
interpreted in terms of a possible inherent instability of the ice cover. A study of published …

Many Landsat images of Antarctica show distinctive flow and crevasse features in the
floating part of ice streams and outlet glaciers immediately below their grounding zones …

Estimates have been made of the mass budget of the total drainage basin of Lambert
Glacier. These show a small but significant positive state of balance for the interior basin (the …

This chapter is one in a series of eleven that comprise US Geological Survey Professional
Paper 1386, Satellite Image Atlas of Glaciers of the World, which is directed at the use of …

By means of modern geodetic observation techniques the ice movement along an east-west
and a north-south profile across the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica, was measured during the two …

We use a hybrid finite-element/finite-difference model of ice-shelf flow and heat transfer to
investigate the effects of basal melting on the present observed flow of the Ross Ice Shelf …

Summary The Transantarctic Mountains form a mountainous division between East and
West Antarctica extending 2900 km from the Pensacola Mountains to northern Victoria Land …

The results of measurements from 3 visits over successive summers to the Amery Ice Shelf
are presented. These results illustrate the pattern of accumulation over the ice shelf, how the …
