Solid Earth change and the evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet
Recent studies suggest that Antarctica has the potential to contribute up to~ 15 m of sea-
level rise over the next few centuries. The evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is driven by a …

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 …

[HTML][HTML] Reconstructions of Antarctic topography since the Eocene–Oligocene boundary
Accurate models of past Antarctic ice sheet behaviour require realistic reconstructions of the
evolution of bedrock topography. However, other than a preliminary attempt to reconstruct …

Glacial effects limiting mountain height
DL Egholm, SB Nielsen, VK Pedersen, JE Lesemann - Nature, 2009 - nature.com
The height of mountain ranges reflects the balance between tectonic rock uplift, crustal
strength and surface denudation. Tectonic deformation and surface denudation are …

An ancient river landscape preserved beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet
Abstract The East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) has its origins ca. 34 million years ago. Since
then, the impact of climate change and past fluctuations in the EAIS margin has been …

Mid-Miocene cooling and the extinction of tundra in continental Antarctica
AR Lewis, DR Marchant, AC Ashworth… - Proceedings of the …, 2008 - National Acad Sciences
A major obstacle in understanding the evolution of Cenozoic climate has been the lack of
well dated terrestrial evidence from high-latitude, glaciated regions. Here, we report the …

East Antarctic rifting triggers uplift of the Gamburtsev Mountains
Abstract The Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains are the least understood tectonic feature on
Earth, because they are completely hidden beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. Their high …

Subglacial basins: Their origin and importance in glacial systems and landscapes
Closed topographic basins are found beneath contemporary ice masses and within the
footprint of former ice masses in all glaciated regions. We present the first integrated review …
