International Glaciological Society Scott Polar Research Institute, Lensfi eld Road, Cambridge CB2 1ER, UK JOURNAL OF GLACIOLOGY INTERNATIONAL GLACIOLOGICAL SOCIETY The Society was founded in 1936 to provide a focus for individuals interested Chief Editor in practical and scientifi c aspects of snow and ice. Membership is open to JG Cogley all individuals who have a scientifi c, practical or general interest in aspects of snow and ice study. Emeritus Chief Editor TH Jacka Papers on glaciology are printed in the Journal of Glaciology, which is published six times a year. The Society also publishes the Annals of Associate Chief Editors Glaciology, a peer-reviewed, thematic journal, two to four times a year. The P Bartelt Society’s news bulletin, ICE, is published three times a year. SH Faria H Jiskoot The Society sponsors symposia, meetings and workshops in many countries F Pattyn throughout the year. Scientifi c Editors Journal of Glaciology publishes original articles and letters concerning scientifi c research into any aspect of ice and snow, and interactions between EE Adams ice, snow, climate and other environmental phenomena including the N Eckert biosphere and permafrost. Research techniques described in the Journal HA Fricker include, for example, fi eld studies, remote sensing, computer modelling CA Geiger and laboratory studies. Research topics include the nature of and changes NF Glasser in mountain glaciers and ice sheets, including former ice sheets. For R Greve example, ice cores extracted from the glaciers and ice sheets reveal detailed SJ Jones information on past atmospheric composition and climate, and changes in B Kulessa the extent and thickness of the ice sheets are also related to climate change. MA Lange The physical, chemical and crystallographic properties of ice and snow are T Mölg included, especially but not only as they relate to the fl ow of ice and to past H Pritchard climate. The Journal also publishes studies of sea ice, and of icebergs, along TA Scambos with their interactions with climate on shorter time scales, and with the DM Rippin ocean. Snow and avalanche research is included in the Journal, with several JM Shea recent articles investigating avalanche dynamics. Snow and ice on other M Tranter planets is also within the realm of the Journal of Glaciology, as are studies of WL Wang atmospheric ice.

    Comparison of observations and modelling of surface mass balance variations in East Antarctica Author: Bianca Kallenberg A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Australian National University June 2016 ! I hereby declare that the material contained in my thesis is entirely my own work, except of where accurate acknowledgement of another source has been made Bianca Kallenberg Acknowledgements My greatest gratitude goes to my supervisor Paul Tregoning for providing me with the opportunity to conduct my research project, his guidance and encouragement throughout my studies and for giving me the once in a lifetime opportunity to travel to Antarctica for a closely related research project. I would like to express my great appreciation to Anthony Purcell for his never ending patience and guidance in teaching programming skills and setting up my code. My sincerer gratitude goes to Rhys Hawkins for all his help and support in solving remaining and newly occurring issues within my codes, for always being around to answer questions and his effort to help solving issues, and to put me back on track during my last months. I wish to acknowledge Stefan Ligtenberg for his forthcoming support in explaining his model, for providing me with the RACMO data set and his model results, and his general help in establishing my program. I would like to thank Achraf Koulali, Sebastien Allgeyer, Evan Gowan, Janosch Hoffman and Christopher Watson for their advice, guidance and help on any question I threw on them, programming issues and Antarctic research. A special thank goes to Lydie Lescarmontier, not only for her support and advice in glaciology but for her great company and supervision during our stay in Antarctica, her friendship, support and her lovely cooking during the last month of my PhD.

Antarctica Bedmap2 datasets are used to calculate subglacial hydraulic potential and the area, depth and volume of hydraulic potential sinks. There are over 32 000 contiguous sinks, which can be thought of as predicted lakes. Patterns of subglacial melt are modelled with a balanced ice flux flow model, and water fluxes are cumulated along predicted flow pathways to quantify steady- state fluxes from the main basin outlets and from known subglacial lakes. The total flux from the contin- − − ent is ∼21 km3 a 1. Byrd Glacier has the greatest basin flux of ∼2.7 km3 a 1.

  • Assessment of Ice Flow Dynamics in the Zone Close to the Calving Front of Antarctic Ice Shelves
    1194 Journal of Glaciology, Vol. 61, No. 230, 2015 doi: 10.3189/2015JoG15J116 Assessment of ice flow dynamics in the zone close to the calving front of Antarctic ice shelves Martin G. WEARING,1;2 Richard C.A. HINDMARSH,1 M. Grae WORSTER2 1British Antarctic Survey, Natural Environment Research Council, Cambridge, UK 2Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK Correspondence: Martin Wearing <[email protected]> ABSTRACT. We investigate the relationship between four ice-shelf characteristics in the area close to the calving front: ice flow speed, strain rate, ice thickness and shelf width. Data are compiled for these glaciological parameters at the calving fronts of 22 Antarctic ice shelves. Clarification concerning the viscous supply of ice to the calving front is sought following the empirical calving law of Alley and others (2008), derived from a similar but smaller dataset, and the scaling analysis of Hindmarsh (2012). The dataset is analysed and good agreement is observed between the expected theoretical scaling and geophysical data for the flow of ice near the calving front in the case of ice shelves that are laterally confined and have uniform rheology. The lateral confinement ensures flow is aligned in the along-shelf direction, and uniform rheological parameters mean resistance to flow is provided by near-stationary ice in the grounded margins. In other cases, the velocity is greater than predicted, which we attribute to marginal weakening or the presence of ice tongues. KEYWORDS: Antarctic glaciology, ice dynamics, ice rheology, ice shelves, ice velocity 1. INTRODUCTION near-stationary calving-front positions.

  • CRREL Report 93-14
    CRREL REPORT 93-14 Malcolm Mellor Aviation Notes onAntarctic August1993 Abstract Antarctic aviation has been evolving for the best part of a century, with regular air operations developing over the past three or four decades. Antarctica is the last continent where aviation still depends almost entirely on expeditionary airfields and “bush flying,” but change seems imminent. This report describes the history of aviation in Antarctica, the types and characteristics of existing and proposed airfield facilities, and the characteristics of aircraft suitable for Antarctic use. It now seems possible for Antarctic aviation to become an extension of mainstream international aviation. The basic requirement is a well-distributed network of hard-surface airfields that can be used safely by conventional aircraft, together with good international collaboration. The technical capabilities al- ready exist. Cover: Douglas R4D Que Sera Sera, which made the first South Pole landing on 31 October 1956. (Smithsonian Institution photo no. 40071.)

Klein John R. Giardino Head of Department, Douglas J. Sherman May 2007 Major Subject: Geography iii ABSTRACT Investigation of Coastal Dynamics of the Antarctic Ice Sheet Using Sequential Radarsat SAR Images. (May 2007) Sheng-Jung Tang, B.Eng., National Taiwan University of Science and Technology Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Hongxing Liu Increasing human activities have brought about a global warming trend, and cause global sea level rise. Investigations of variations in coastal margins of Antarctica and in the glacial dynamics of the Antarctic Ice Sheet provide useful diagnostic information for understanding and predicting sea level changes. This research investigates the coastal dynamics of the Antarctic Ice Sheet in terms of changes in the coastal margin and ice flow velocities. The primary methods used in this research include image segmentation based coastline extraction and image matching based velocity derivation. The image segmentation based coastline extraction method uses a modified adaptive thresholding algorithm to derive a high-resolution, complete coastline of Antarctica from 2000 orthorectified SAR images at the continental scale.
