Exposure-age record of Holocene ice sheet and ice shelf change in the northeast Antarctic Peninsula
This paper describes glacialegeologic observations and cosmogenic-nuclide exposure ages from ice-free areas adjacent to the Sjögren, Boydell, and Drygalski Glaciers of the northeast Antarctic Peninsula. These provide a record of Holocene glacier and ice shelf change in this region. Early Holocene ice surface elevation near the present coastline was locally at least 500 m above present sea level...
متن کاملRecent ice loss from the Fleming and other glaciers, Wordie Bay, West Antarctic Peninsula
[1] Satellite radar interferometry data from 1995 to 2004, and airborne ice thickness data from 2002, reveal that the glaciers flowing into former Wordie Ice Shelf, West Antarctic Peninsula, discharge 6.8 ± 0.3 km/yr of ice, which is 84 ± 30 percent larger than a snow accumulation of 3.7 ± 0.8 km/yr over a 6,300 km drainage basin. Airborne and ICESat laser altimetry elevation data reveal glacie...
متن کاملAccelerated ice discharge from the Antarctic Peninsula following the collapse of Larsen B ice shelf
[1] Interferometric synthetic-aperture radar data collected by ERS-1/2 and Radarsat-1 satellites show that Antarctic Peninsula glaciers sped up significantly following the collapse of Larsen B ice shelf in 2002. Hektoria, Green and Evans glaciers accelerated eightfold between 2000 and 2003 and decelerated moderately in 2003. Jorum and Crane glaciers accelerated twofold in early 2003 and threefo...
متن کامل2001-2009 elevation and mass losses in the Larsen A and B embayments, Antarctic Peninsula
We investigate the elevation and mass-balance response of tributary glaciers following the loss of the Larsen A and B ice shelves, Antarctic Peninsula (in 1995 and 2002 respectively). Our study uses MODIS imagery to track ice extent, and ASTER and SPOT5 digital elevation models (DEMs) plus ATM and ICESat laser altimetry to track elevation changes, spanning the period 2001–09. The measured Larse...
متن کاملChanges in ice dynamics and mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet.
The concept that the Antarctic ice sheet changes with eternal slowness has been challenged by recent observations from satellites. Pronounced regional warming in the Antarctic Peninsula triggered ice shelf collapse, which led to a 10-fold increase in glacier flow and rapid ice sheet retreat. This chain of events illustrated the vulnerability of ice shelves to climate warming and their buffering...
