The ice shelves of the Antarctic Peninsula: changing climate and sea level / David G. Vaughan.
Title: | The ice shelves of the Antarctic Peninsula: changing climate and sea level / David G. Vaughan. |
Author(s): | Vaughan, David G. |
Date: | 1992. |
Publisher: | Cambridge: British Antarctic Survey |
Abstract: | Recent changes in extent of these ice shelves are reviewed and implications for sea level discussed in view of measured regional warming. Data are presented that suggest disintegration of Wordie Ice Shelf has not been accompanied by immediate increase in velocity of input glaciers. Complete disintegration of ice shelves on peninsula is thus unlikely to cause significant amount of grounded ice to melt or noticeable sea-level rise. However, these ice shelves may have strong influence on regional climate and are robust indicators of climate change,and may assist in making reliable predictions about ice shelves further south that stablize west Antarctic ice sheet. |
