Record #104384:

The potential for basal melting under Summit, Greenland / John Firestone, Edwin D. Waddington, James Cunningham.

Title: The potential for basal melting under Summit, Greenland / John Firestone, Edwin D. Waddington, James Cunningham.
Author(s): Firestone, John.
Waddington, Edwin D.
Cunningham, James.
Date: 1990.
In: Journal of Glaciology. (1990.), Vol. 36(123) (1990)
Abstract: Deep-drilling projects will require thermal models to help in interpretation of palaeoclimatic signals in cores. Analytic, steady-state model predicts basal temperatures within 1°C of melting point and basal ice no older than <100-400 ka should melting occur. Two-dimensional, time-dependent temperature model includes effects of realistic two-dimensional ice flow and temperature and mass-balance patterns of last two glacial cycles. Basal temperatures are most sensitive to value of geothermal heat flux and mass-balance pattern. If flux is<56 mW m⁻², bed has probably been frozen throughout last two glacial cycles.
