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.

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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the complex dielectric permittivity of ice around megahertz frequencies is reviewed with additions of a few new data sets, and the propagation of electromagnetic waves in the ice sheets is examined.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize published conductivity measurements to specify an ice-conductivity model and find that some of the dielectric properties of ice at radar frequencies are not yet well constrained.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate and improve prognostic numerical models and parameterizations of the effects of small-scale pinning points on grounding-zone dynamics, which is needed to assess their impact on ice-sheet behavior.
