Record #113424:

Breakup of Wordie Ice Shelf, Antarctica / Christopher S.M. Doake, David G. Vaughan.

Title: Breakup of Wordie Ice Shelf, Antarctica / Christopher S.M. Doake, David G. Vaughan.
Author(s): Doake, Christopher S. M.
Vaughan, David G.
Date: 1991.
Publisher: Wallingford: IAHS Press
In: Glaciers--Ocean--Atmosphere Interactions. Proceedings of the International Symposium held at St. Petersburg, 24-29 September 1990. (1991.),
Abstract: Study of satellite images taken since 1974 shows that increased crevassing and rifting are responsible for increased ice-front calving, and for weakening ice shelf upstream from ice rises and in centre. Warming recorded in mean annual air temperatures in Marguerite Bay area has probably caused mass balance to shift from net accumulation to net ablation, pushing ice shelf into unfavourable climatic regime.
