  • Ice Dynamics and Stability Analysis of the Ice Shelf-Glacial System on the East Antarctic Peninsula Over the Past Half Century: Multi-Sensor
    Ice dynamics and stability analysis of the ice shelf-glacial system on the east Antarctic Peninsula over the past half century: multi-sensor observations and numerical modeling A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Geography & Geographic Information Science of the College of Arts and Sciences by Shujie Wang B.S., GIS, Sun Yat-sen University, China, 2010 M.A., GIS, Sun Yat-sen University, China, 2012 Committee Chair: Hongxing Liu, Ph.D. March 2018 ABSTRACT The flow dynamics and mass balance of the Antarctic Ice Sheet are intricately linked with the global climate change and sea level rise. The dynamics of the ice shelf – glacial systems are particularly important for dominating the mass balance state of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The flow velocity fields of outlet glaciers and ice streams dictate the ice discharge rate from the interior ice sheet into the ocean system. One of the vital controls that affect the flow dynamics of the outlet glaciers is the stability of the peripheral ice shelves. It is essential to quantitatively analyze the interconnections between ice shelves and outlet glaciers and the destabilization process of ice shelves in the context of climate warming. This research aims to examine the evolving dynamics and the instability development of the Larsen Ice Shelf – glacial system in the east Antarctic Peninsula, which is a dramatically changing area under the influence of rapid regional warming in recent decades. Previous studies regarding the flow dynamics of the Larsen Ice Shelf – glacial system are limited to some specific sites over a few time periods.

  • Fast Recession of the Northern Larsen Ice Shelf Monitored by Space Illlages
    Annals of Glaciology 17 1993 © International Glaciological Society Fast recession of the northern Larsen Ice Shelf monitored by space illlages PEDRO SKY AReA Instituto Antdrtico Argentino, Cerrito 1248, 1010 Buenos Aires, Argentina. ABSTRACT. The rapid retreat and disintegration of the Larsen Ice Shelf sector extending north of Seal Nunataks (65° S), documented from the mid 1970s onwards by remote sensing, is presented and related to the Antarctic Peninsula climatic warming recorded over several past decades. A 1975 KOSMOS satellite photograph and a series of LANDS AT MSS and TM images taken in 1978, 1979, 1986, 1988 and 1989 were used to monitor the retreat of the ice shelf between Seal Nunataks and Prince Gustav Channel. The ice shelf has decreased by more than 30% during the period 1975-89 within the Christensen Island to Cape Longing region. Measure­ ments of the ice front position carried out in the field during late 1991 indicate that the recession between Lindenberg Island and Sobral Peninsula is still continuing, in some places at a rate of up to 2.5 km a,l. INTRODUCTION Until the late 1940s the Larsen Ice Shelf front extended from Cape Foster, the southern most tip of The Larsen Ice Shelf sector north of Robertson Island James Ross Island, and beyond Cape Longing to (Fig. I) represents the northernmost shelf ice in the Robertson Island (Koerner, 1964).

Skog, Chairman of the IAATO Marine Committee), were accepted at the 5th HCA Meeting for inclusion as new INT charts / inset plans (Decision No. 5 refers). Consequently the IHB, in liaison with the HCA Survey Programme WG Chair, was tasked to prepare an update of the INT Chart Scheme, incorporating the agreed additions. This included identification of existing INT charts which could include inset plans, assignment of INT numbers to new INT charts, and allocation of responsibilities for their production. The resulting proposed changes are highlighted in Annexes A and B. They relate to pages 12 to 15 of M-11, Region ‘M’. As in M-11, Annex A contains general information on the charts, eg. producer, edition date, scale, whereas Annex B provides supplementary information such as chart title and limits. Both annexes are linked via the INT numbers, ie. by clicking on any chart number in Annex A, one can access the corresponding supplementary information in Annex B. As you will see, it is proposed to amend one chart, ie.

  • JR48 Cruise Report
    JR48 Cruise Report The HILATS/SAGES Millennium Cruise 1. SUMMARY (CJP) Cruise JR48 had three main objectives: i) Survey and vibrocoring on the continental shelf east of the northern Antarctic Peninsula, in the areas formerly occupied by the northern Larsen and Prince Gustav Ice Shelves. ii) 3.5 kHz survey and piston coring in the northern Weddell Sea, Scotia Sea and Falkland Trough, to investigate late Quaternary palaoceanography, particularly flow history of the Weddell Gyre and Antarctic Circumpolar Current. iii) Sparker survey and rock drilling/vibrocoring on the continental shelf near Anvers I and near Seymour I: pilot study for a future Cenozoic project. Underway measurements were to include bathymetric, 3.5 kHz and magnetic survey, and water sampling for plankton using the non-toxic seawater supply. A short dredging cruise was to be undertaken for Dr P F Barker, after the main coring cruise. The coring cruise occupied 27.6 days (Feb 26th to March 25th, Stanley to Stanley), plus 4 days of mobilisation and 1.5 days demobilisation. The ship’s track is shown in Fig. 1. The weather was generally good and only 2 days were lost to bad weather, fog and ice. All the objectives were achieved except the work near Seymour Island, which was not attempted because of shortage of time. Cores totalling 257 metres were obtained from 63 sites. Of these, 41 cores (plus 1340 km of track) were obtained from unsurveyed areas formerly covered by ice shelves. A transect of piston cores was obtained from the northern Weddell Sea (Powell Basin and Jane Basin) to the Falkland Trough; this work included detailed survey of two areas of sediment waves.
