EMAG2: A 2-arc min resolution Earth Magnetic Anomaly Grid compiled from satellite, airborne, and marine magnetic measurements
Stefan Maus,Stefan Maus,Udo Barckhausen,H. A. Berkenbosch,N. Bournas,John Brozena,Vicki A. Childers,F. Dostaler,J. D. Fairhead,Carol A. Finn,R. R. B. von Frese,Carmen Gaina,S. Golynsky,Robert P. Kucks,Hermann Lühr,Peter Milligan,Saad Mogren,Ralph Müller,Odleiv Olesen,Mark Pilkington,Richard W. Saltus,Bernd Schreckenberger,Erwan Thébault,F. Caratori Tontini +23 more
TL;DR: In this article, a global Earth Magnetic Anomaly Grid (EMAG2) has been compiled from satellite, ship, and airborne magnetic measurements, both over land and the oceans, where the original shipborne and airborne data were used instead of precompiled oceanic magnetic grids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of subglacial geology on the onset of a West Antarctic ice stream from aerogeophysical observations
Robin E. Bell,Donald D. Blankenship,Carol A. Finn,David L. Morse,Ted Scambos,John Brozena,Steven M. Hodge +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use aerogeophysical measurements to constrain the geological setting of the onset of an active West Antarctic ice stream, which coincides with a sediment-filled basin incised by a steep-sided valley.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active volcanism beneath the West Antarctic ice sheet and implications for ice-sheet stability
Donald D. Blankenship,Robin E. Bell,Steven M. Hodge,John Brozena,John C. Behrendt,Carol A. Finn +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present aerogeophysical evidence for active volcanism and associated elevated heat flow beneath the West Antarctic ice sheet near the critical region where ice streaming begins, and if this heat flow is indeed controlling ice-stream formation, then penetration of ocean waters inland of the thin hot crust of the active portion of the West Antarctica rift system could lead to the disappearance of ice streams, and possibly trigger a collapse of the inland ice reservoir.
Journal ArticleDOI
East Antarctic rifting triggers uplift of the Gamburtsev Mountains
TL;DR: The evolution of the Gamburtsevs demonstrates that rifting and preserved orogenic roots can produce broad regions of high topography in continental interiors without significantly modifying the underlying Precambrian lithosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Cenozoic diffuse alkaline magmatic province (DAMP) in the Southwest Pacific without rift or plume origin
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suggest that sudden detachment and sinking of subducted slabs in the late Cretaceous induced Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities along the former Gondwana margin that in turn triggered lateral and vertical flow of warm Pacific mantle.
