Deformation of till beneath ice stream B, West Antarctica

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose that deformation within the till is the primary mechanism by which the ice stream moves, and discuss implications of this hypothesis, and assume that this thin layer occurs well inland beneath an active ice sheet and rests on a surface showing flutes characteristic of glacial erosion.
Journal ArticleDOI

A model for Holocene retreat of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived equations that can be used to make a quantitative estimate of the maximum size of a marine ice sheet and of when and how rapidly retreat would take place under prescribed conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Precise interpolar phasing of abrupt climate change during the last ice age

Christo Buizert, +82 more
- 30 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: A north-to-south directionality of the abrupt climatic signal is demonstrated, which is propagated to the Southern Hemisphere high latitudes by oceanic rather than atmospheric processes, which confirms a central role for ocean circulation in the bipolar seesaw.
Journal ArticleDOI

Timing of stagnation of Ice Stream C, West Antarctica, from short-pulse radar studies of buried surface crevasses

TL;DR: In this paper, five short-pulse radar profiles were run across the edge of inactive Ice Stream C, one of the “Ross” ice streams that flows from the West Antarctic inland ice sheet into the Ross Ice Shelf Scatter from buried crevasses, creating hyperbolae on the radar records.
