Rapid Holocene Deglaciation of the Labrador Sector of the Laurentide Ice Sheet
Retreat of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) following the Last Glacial Maximum 21 000 yr BP affected regional to global climate and accounted for the largest proportion of sea level rise. Although the late Pleistocene LIS retreat chronology is relatively well constrained, its Holocene chronology remains poorly dated, limiting our understanding of its role in Holocene climate change and sea level ...
متن کاملA new ice thickness and bedrock dataset for the Greenland ice sheet
Ice thickness data collected between 1993 and 1999 using a coherent ice penetrating radar system developed at the University of Kansas have been combined with data collected by the Technical University of Denmark in the 1970s to produce a new ice thickness grid for Greenland. Cross-over analysis was used to assess the relative accuracy of the two datasets and they were weighted accordingly and ...
متن کاملWave scattering by an ice sheet of variable thickness
This paper describes an investigation into the effect on wave propagation of an ice sheet of varying thickness floating on water of varying depth. A variational principle equivalent to the governing equations of linear theory in three dimensions is given, forming the basis of a Rayleigh-Ritz approximation. Here we invoke the mild-slope approximation in respect of the ice thickness and water dep...
متن کاملIce flow of the Antarctic ice sheet.
We present a reference, comprehensive, high-resolution, digital mosaic of ice motion in Antarctica assembled from multiple satellite interferometric synthetic-aperture radar data acquired during the International Polar Year 2007 to 2009. The data reveal widespread, patterned, enhanced flow with tributary glaciers reaching hundreds to thousands of kilometers inland over the entire continent. Thi...
متن کاملIce-sheet surging and ice-strealll forlllation
A simplified model of ice-sheet behayiour is described. I t combines the assumptions of rapid ice flow, high viscous actiyation energy and realistic sediment-based sliding dynamics to form a non-linear diffusion-type equation which can display relaxation oscillations analogous to those of surging glaciers, and which may be relevant to large-scale surges of the Hudson Strait and Cabot Strait ice...
