The active West Antarctic Rift System, which extends from the continental shelf of the Ross
Sea, beneath the Ross Ice Shelf and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, is comparable in size to …

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 …

Depth estimation from potential field power spectra requires a realistic assumption of the
statistical properties of the source distributions. Density and susceptibility distributions in the …

The Wilkes Subglacial Basin represents an approximately 1400 km-long and up to 600 km
wide subglacial depression, buried beneath the over 3 km-thick East Antarctic Ice Sheet …

The Transantarctic Mountains are a major geologic boundary that bisects the Antarctic
continent, separating the low-lying, tectonically active terrains of West Antarctica from the …

In recent years the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM), the largest noncontractional mountain
belt in the world, have become the focus of modelers who explained their uplift by a variety …

Current ice loss from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) accounts for about ten per cent of
observed global sea-level rise. Losses are dominated by dynamic thinning, in which forcings …

Aeromagnetic surveys, spaced≤ 5 km, over widely separated areas of the largely ice‐and
sea‐covered West Antarctic rift system, reveal similar patterns of 100‐to 1700‐nT, shallow …

In general, sedimentary basins are characterized by negative free-air and Bouguer gravity
anomalies. However, the extensional basins of the Ross Sea are paradoxical in that positive …

Early geophysical studies hypothesized a continental rift structure beneath the Wilkes
Subglacial Basin. Recent models favour a flexural origin for the basin linked to …
