A 200-Year Record of Glacier Mass Balance at Deception Island, Southwest Atlantic Ocean, and Its Bearing on Models of Global Climatic Change
Orheim, Olav ( 1972-09 )Subglacial volcanic eruptions on Deception Island (63°S, 60°40'W) in 1969 and 1970 revealed ice stratigraphy in fissures and craters. Annual net mass-balance variations from about 1780 A.D. to the present were determined ... -

911 Years of Microparticle Deposition at the South Pole: A Climatic Interpretation
Mosley-Thompson, Ellen ( 1980 )A detailed analysis of the particles within a 101-meter firn core from Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station Antarctica, was conducted. 6218 samples were analyzed for particle concentration and size distribution. Individual ... -
An Algorithm And Application For Visualization And Analysis Of Scanning Laser Altimeter Data
Filin, Sagi; Csatho, Beata ( 2000 )Ice sheet elevation changes have been measured by repeat airborne laser altimetery in Greenland since 1991. The Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM) system, which has been mounted in a NASA P-3 aircraft, includes a scanning ... -
Analysis of the Byrd Station Strain Net, Antarctica
Dewart, Gilbert; Whillans, Ian M.; Brecher, Henry H. ( 1974-06 )This report presents some results of field investigations relating to the study of glacier flow in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. The physical quantities necessary for a solution to the problem of the mode of flow of the ... -
Analysis of the Concentration of Microparticles in an Ice Core from Byrd Station, Antarctica
Thompson, Lonnie G. ( 1973-09 )Measurements were made of the concentrations and size distribution of microparticles in 15 representative sections, averaging 1 meter in length, taken from the 2l64-meter-long ice core from Byrd Station. This study was ... -

Calving Glaciers: Report of a Workshop February 28-March 2, 1997
( 1997 )Uncertainties in predicting future sea level are dominated by a lack of knowledge of the behavior of glaciers that calve icebergs, and our understanding of past climate changes is also limited by our inability to fully ... -
