Ocean-driven thinning enhances iceberg calving and retreat of Antarctic ice shelves
Yan Liu,John C. Moore,Xiao Cheng,Rupert Gladstone,Jeremy N. Bassis,Hongxing Liu,Jiahong Wen,Fengming Hui +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that thinning associated with ocean-driven increased basal melt can trigger increased iceberg calving, implying that iceberg calve may play an overlooked role in the demise of shrinking ice shelves, and is more sensitive to ocean forcing than expected from steady state calving estimates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Termini of calving glaciers as self-organized critical systems
Jan Åström,Dorothée Vallot,Martina Schäfer,Martina Schäfer,Ethan Welty,Shad O'Neel,Shad O'Neel,Timothy C. Bartholomaus,Yan Liu,Timothy Riikilä,Thomas Zwinger,Jussi Timonen,Jussi Timonen,John C. Moore,John C. Moore,John C. Moore +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed globally distributed calving data sets from Svalbard, Alaska (USA), Greenland and Antarctica in combination with simulations from a first-principles, particle-based numerical calving model to investigate the size and inter-event time of calving events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping blue-ice areas in Antarctica using ETM+ and MODIS data
Fengming Hui,Tianyu Ci,Xiao Cheng,Ted Scambos,Yan Liu,Yanmei Zhang,Zhaohui Chi,Huabing Huang,Xianwei Wang,Fang Wang,Chen Zhao,Zhenyu Jin,Kun Wang +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a map of the entire Antarctic continent from ETM+ and MODIS data and estimated the total area of BIAs in Antarctica during the data acquisition period is 234 549 km 2, or 1.67% of the area of the continent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic response of Antarctic ice shelves to bedrock uncertainty
TL;DR: In this article, the sensitivity of the BISICLES adaptive mesh ice sheet model to small-amplitude height fluctuations on different spatial scales in the bedrock topography provided by Bedmap2 in the catchments of Pine Island Glacier, the Amery Ice shelf and a region of East Antarctica including the Aurora Basin, Law Dome and Totten Glacier was tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resolving Fine-Scale Surface Features on Polar Sea Ice: A First Assessment of UAS Photogrammetry Without Ground Control
Teng Li,Baogang Zhang,Xiao Cheng,Matthew J. Westoby,Zhenhong Li,Chi Ma,Fengming Hui,Mohammed Shokr,Yan Liu,Zhuoqi Chen,Mengxi Zhai,Xinqing Li +11 more
TL;DR: This work represents a pioneering attempt to comprehensively assess UAS-SfM survey capability in fast ice environments, and could serve as a reference for future improvements.
