Bedmap2: improved ice bed, surface and thickness datasets for Antarctica

Peter T. Fretwell, +59 more
- 28 Feb 2013 - 
TL;DR: Bedmap2 as discussed by the authors is a suite of gridded products describing surface elevation, ice-thickness and the seafloor and subglacial bed elevation of the Antarctic south of 60° S. In particular, the Bedmap2 ice thickness grid is made from 25 million measurements, over two orders of magnitude more than were used in Bedmap1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Continental-scale temperature variability during the past two millennia

Moinuddin Ahmed, +86 more
- 21 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: The authors reconstructed past temperatures for seven continental-scale regions during the past one to two millennia and found that the most coherent feature in nearly all of the regional temperature reconstructions is a long-term cooling trend, which ended late in the nineteenth century.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accelerated ice discharge from the Antarctic Peninsula following the collapse of Larsen B ice shelf

TL;DR: Rignot et al. as mentioned in this paper attributed the abrupt evolution of the glaciers to the removal of the buttressing ice shelf, and demonstrated the importance of ice shelves on ice sheet mass balance and contribution to sea level change.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contribution of the Patagonia Icefields of South America to Sea Level Rise

TL;DR: Digital elevation models of the Northern and Southern Patagonia Icefields of South America generated from the 2000 Shuttle Radar Topography Mission were compared with earlier cartography to estimate the volume change of the largest 63 glaciers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accelerated Sea-Level Rise from West Antarctica

TL;DR: Glacier thinning rates near the coast during 2002–2003 are much larger than those observed during the 1990s, providing exit routes for ice from further inland if ice-sheet collapse is under way.
