متن کاملMonitoring southwest Greenland’s ice sheet melt with ambient seismic noise
The Greenland ice sheet presently accounts for ~70% of global ice sheet mass loss. Because this mass loss is associated with sea-level rise at a rate of 0.7 mm/year, the development of improved monitoring techniques to observe ongoing changes in ice sheet mass balance is of paramount concern. Spaceborne mass balance techniques are commonly used; however, they are inadequate for many purposes be...
متن کاملSpace and Time Topographic Signatures of Ice Sheet
Altimetry is probably one of the most powerful tools for the observation of ice sheets. The topography is one of the pertinent parameters related to the processes acting on ice sheets. Because it is a free surface, it description strongly helps in ice modelling. From the global scale to the km-scale, the topography hides the signature of the physical processes as well as the one of external for...

متن کاملIce-sheet surging and ice-strealll forlllation
A simplified model of ice-sheet behayiour is described. I t combines the assumptions of rapid ice flow, high viscous actiyation energy and realistic sediment-based sliding dynamics to form a non-linear diffusion-type equation which can display relaxation oscillations analogous to those of surging glaciers, and which may be relevant to large-scale surges of the Hudson Strait and Cabot Strait ice...
