MARC recordOn the underside scarring of floating ice sheets / George J. Musil.
| Title: | On the underside scarring of floating ice sheets / George J. Musil. |
| Author(s): | Musil, George J. |
| Date: | 1989. |
| In: | Annals of Glaciology. (1989.), Vol. 12 (1989) |
| Abstract: | Detailed analyses of radar images, obtained using synthetic aperture radar technique, from bottom surface of floating ice sheet suggests presence of linear, groove-type scarring. Dominant physical parameters (orientation, depth, and periodicity of scarring) are derived. Results relate to bottom roughness of Bach Ice Shelf, Alexander Island, Antarctica, close to grounding line, but are comparable to those of underside of Ross Ice Shelf. Therefore seems probable that roughness parameters measured on Ross Ice Shelf using standard radio-echo techniques relate to linear grooves which were introduced in region of ice grounding. Such scarring runs along direction of ice flow and is thought to be drawn-out imprint of bedrock surface when ice was last grounded. |
