Flow dynamics of Byrd Glacier, East Antarctica
Force-balance calculations on Byrd Glacier, East Antarctica, reveal large spatial variations in the along-flow component of driving stress with corresponding sticky spots that are stationary over time. On the large scale, flow resistance is partitioned between basal (�80%) and lateral (�20%) drag. Ice flow is due mostly to basal sliding and concentrated vertical shear in the basal ice layers, i...
متن کاملDynamics of glacier calving at the ungrounded margin of Helheim Glacier, southeast Greenland
During summer 2013 we installed a network of 19 GPS nodes at the ungrounded margin of Helheim Glacier in southeast Greenland together with three cameras to study iceberg calving mechanisms. The network collected data at rates up to every 7 s and was designed to be robust to loss of nodes as the glacier calved. Data collection covered 55 days, and many nodes survived in locations right at the gl...
متن کاملThe influence of an Antarctic glacier tongue on near-field ocean circulation and mixing
In situ measurements of flow and stratification in the vicinity of the Erebus Glacier Tongue, a 12 km long floating Antarctic glacier, show the significant influence of the glacier. Three ADCPs (75, 300, and 600 kHz) were deployed close (<50 m) to the sidewall of the glacier in order to capture near-field flow distortion. Scalar (temperature and conductivity) and shear microstructure profiling ...
متن کاملApplication of interferometry to studies of glacier dynamics
Multi baselinc rcpeat track interferometry (RTI) can potentially be uscd to measure both velocities and the micro topogra hy of glaciers. The Danish Center for Remote (DPC) has established a test cite for studies of glacier dynamics on the Storstreimmen glacier i n North East Greenland. DCRS has acquired RTI data over the glacier in 1994 and 1995 and ERS-112 tandem mode data are also available....
متن کاملExploring Mount Erebus by walking robot
Wettergreen, D., Thorpe, C. and Whittaker, R., Exploring Mount Erebus by walking robot, Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 11 (1993) 171-185. Dante is a tethered walking robot capable of climbing steep slopes. In 1992 it was created at Carnegie Mellon University and deployed in Antarctica to explore an active volcano, Mount Erebus. The Dante project's robot science objectives were to demonstrate ...
