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

TL;DR: In this paper, a high-resolution and physically based description of Antarctica bed topography using mass conservation is presented, revealing previously unknown basal features with major implications for glacier response to climate change.
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
New boundary conditions for the West Antarctic ice sheet: Subglacial topography beneath Pine Island Glacier
David G. Vaughan,Hugh F. J. Corr,Fausto Ferraccioli,Nicholas Frearson,Aidan O'Hare,Dieter Mach,John W. Holt,Donald D. Blankenship,David L. Morse,Duncan A. Young +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an improved subglacial topography for the Pine Island Glacier basin has been derived, and the trunk of this glacier lies in a narrow, 250-km long, 500m deep sub-glacial trough, suggesting a longlived and constrained ice stream.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence from ice shelves for channelized meltwater flow beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet
Anne M. Le Brocq,Neil Ross,J. A. Griggs,Robert Bingham,Hugh F. J. Corr,Fausto Ferraccioli,Adrian Jenkins,Tom A. Jordan,Antony J. Payne,David M. Rippin,Martin J. Siegert +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, remote sensing observations reveal persistent channelized features beneath the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf in West Antarctica, suggesting widespread channelized flow driven by melting.
