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 …

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 …

Evidence supports the hypothesis that the Laurentian and East Antarctic-Australian cratons
were continuous in the late Precambrian and that their Pacific margins formed as a …

Measuring, monitoring, and modeling technologies and methods changed the field of
glaciology significantly in the 14 years since the publication of the first edition of …

Since Vening‐Meinesz's realization that the East African Rift represented an extensional, not
compressional, feature and since the widespread acceptance of plate tectonics two decades …

During the period from the Neoproterozoic to the early Paleozoic, numerous continental
fragments in the Southern Hemisphere consolidated along a series of interconnected …

The West Antarctic rift system extends over a 3000× 750 km, largely ice covered area from
the Ross Sea to the base of the Antarctic Peninsula, comparable in area to the Basin and …

A fission track study of the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) in the Granite Harbour and
Wilson Piedmont Glacier areas of southern Victoria Land reveals information on the timing of …

The formulation of a 3-D ice sheet-shelf model is described. The model is designed for long-
term continental-scale applications, and has been used mostly in paleoclimatic studies. It …

The bedrock isostatic response exerts a strong control on ice-sheet dynamics and is
therefore always taken into account in ice-sheet models. This paper reviews the various …
