West Antarctica has formed the tectonically active margin between East Antarctica and the
Pacific Ocean for almost half a billion years, where it has recorded a dynamic history of …

Radar sounding is a powerful geophysical approach for characterizing the subsurface
conditions of terrestrial and planetary ice masses at local to global scales. As a result, a wide …

The detection of liquid water by the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere
Sounding (MARSIS) at the base of the south polar layered deposits in Ultimi Scopuli has …

The marine portion of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) in the Amundsen Sea Embayment
(ASE) accounts for one-fourth of the cryospheric contribution to global sea-level rise and is …

Antarctica is the largest reservoir of ice on Earth. Understanding its ice sheet dynamics is
crucial to unraveling past global climate change and making robust climatic and sea level …

Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is out of equilibrium with the current anthropogenic‐
enhanced climate forcing. Paleoenvironmental records and ice sheet models reveal that the …

The basal thermal state of an ice sheet (frozen or thawed) is an important control upon its
evolution, dynamics, and response to external forcings. However, this state can only be …

Over recent decades outlet glaciers of the Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE), West
Antarctica, have accelerated, thinned, and retreated, and are now contributing …

Abstract Early to Middle Miocene sea-level oscillations of approximately 40–60 m estimated
from far-field records,–are interpreted to reflect the loss of virtually all East Antarctic ice …

Antarctic geothermal heat flow (GHF) affects the temperature of the ice sheet, determining its
ability to slide and internally deform, as well as the behaviour of the continental crust …
