Influence of subglacial geology on the onset of a West Antarctic ice stream from aerogeophysical observations

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

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.
