Main publication details
MARC recordSubglacial basin site of potential instability in Antarctic ice sheet / Anon.
| Title: | Subglacial basin site of potential instability in Antarctic ice sheet / Anon. |
| Date: | 2012. |
| In: | Sea Technology. (2012.), Vol. 53(6) (2012) |
| Abstract: | Brief report on discovery of large subglacial basin beneath West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) near Weddell Sea. Comparison with other parts of WAIS considered vulnerable to melting suggests that steeply downward sloping edges and smooth bed of basin may trigger positive feedback mechanism if grounding line begins to retreat upstream. |
| Notes: | Sea Technology. Vol. 53(6) :58-59 (2012). |
| Keywords: | 551.32 -- Glaciology. 551.33 -- Glacial geology. 551.331.5 -- Glacial erosion and protection. Sub-glacial topography. 551.324.63 -- Land ice, advance and retreat. E2 -- Glaciology: general. (*7) -- Antarctic regions. (*7.7) -- West Antarctica. |
