Journal ArticleDOI
Glacier acceleration and thinning after ice shelf collapse in the Larsen B embayment, Antarctica
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived from five Landsat 7 images acquired between January 2000 and February 2003 show a two-to-sixfold increase in centerline speed of four glaciers flowing into the now-collapsed section of the Larsen B Ice Shelf.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glacier Surge After Ice Shelf Collapse
Hernán De Angelis,Pedro Skvarca +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented here showing drastic dynamic perturbations on former tributary glaciers that fed sections of the Larsen Ice Shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula before its collapse in 1995, prompting reconsideration of former hypotheses about the stabilizing role of ice shelves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid Collapse of Northern Larsen Ice Shelf, Antarctica
TL;DR: In this paper, the two northernmost sections of the Larsen ice shelf were found to have broken apart within a few days, following a period of steady retreat that coincided with a regional trend of atmospheric warming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Larsen Ice Shelf Has Progressively Thinned
TL;DR: Satellite radar altimeter measurements show that between 1992 and 2001 the Larsen Ice Shelf lowered by up to 0.27 ± 0.11 meters per year, suggesting enhanced ocean-driven melting may provide a simple link between regional climate warming and the successive disintegration of sections of the Larsan Ice She shelf.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breakup and conditions for stability of the northern Larsen Ice Shelf, Antarctica
TL;DR: In this article, a finite element numerical model was used to examine the break-up history between 1986 and 1997 of the two northern sections of Larsen Ice Shelf (Larsen A and Larsen B) to establish stability criteria for ice shelves.
