Antarctic ice shelf - shelf - slope exchange study

Ice-ocean interactions and circulation below the ice shelves fringing the Antarctic continent are of great climatic interest since they determine the basal melt rates which influencing a) the ice shelf mass balance and thus its capacity to buttress the ic e sheet feeding them and b) the productio...

Improving understanding of the last deglaciation of the Barents Sea Ice Sheet and its effects on glacioisostatic rebound history in Svalbard

Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) ice thickness, and the resulting ice flow pattern, is inferred mainly from dated raised beaches, and more recently also from the cosmogenic nuclide dating of bedrock in various parts of the Svalbard Archipelago. Recent marine ge ological/geophysical investigations have ...

Geometric changes of Austfonna and Devon ice cap

Arctic glaciers and ice caps respond faster to global warming than the larger and colder ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica. Their contribution to sea level rise over the next century may therefore be larger than from the ice sheets. Austfonna ice cap (Svalbard) and Devon ice cap (Arctic Can...
