Surface mass-balance changes of the Greenland ice sheet
Mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet over the past decade has caused the impression that the ice sheet has been behaving anomalously to the warming of the 1990s. We have reconstructed the recent (1866–2005) surface mass-balance (SMB) history of the Greenland ice sheet on a 5 5 km grid using a runoff-retention model based on the positive degree-day method. The model is forced with new datasets...
متن کاملAn ice-sheet-wide framework for englacial attenuation from ice-penetrating radar data
Radar inference of the bulk properties of glacier beds, most notably identifying basal melting, is, in general, derived from the basal reflection coefficient. On the scale of an ice sheet, unambiguous determination of basal reflection is primarily limited by uncertainty in the englacial attenuation of the radio wave, which is an Arrhenius function of temperature. Existing bed-returned power alg...

متن کاملImaging the structure of cave ice by ground-penetrating radar
Several caves in high elevated alpine regions host up to several meters thick ice. The age of the ice may exceed some hundreds or thousands of years. However, structure, formation and development of the ice are not fully understood and are subject to relatively recent investigation. The application of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) enables to determine thickness, volume, basal and internal stru...
متن کاملSurface-penetrating Radar for Mars Exploration
throughout these past few years. He has always been willing to take the time to help me and offer advise when needed. He has been instrumental in helping me choose a path though my research and future career. I would also like to thank my undergraduate and M.S. advisor, Dr. Richard Plumb, for sparking an interest in remote sensing and convincing me to continue with my Ph.D. I would like to than...
