Main publication details
MARC recordOn the initiation of ice sheets / Ayako Abe-Ouchi, Heinz Blatter.
| Title: | On the initiation of ice sheets / Ayako Abe-Ouchi, Heinz Blatter. |
| Author(s): | Abe-Ouchi, Ayako. Blatter, Heinz. |
| Date: | 1993. |
| In: | Annals of Glaciology. (1993.), Vol. 18 (1993) |
| Abstract: | Uses two-dimensional thermo-mechanical ice-sheet model to investigate initiation and evolution of ice sheets. Found that: ice sheet can grow from initial area of <50 km diameter with positive accumulation rate; pattern of multiple steady-state solution branches depends critically on surface mass balance; and snow accumulation controls growth rate of ice mass, which is crucial for ice sheets evolving in limited time available during Milankovitch cycles. |
| Notes: | Annals of Glaciology. Vol. 18 :203-207 (1993). |
