51. Antarctic Subglacial Lake Classification Inventory [NSIDC-0336]
This data set is an Antarctic radar-based subglacial lake classification collection, which focuses on the radar reflection properties of each given lake. The Subglacial lakes are separated into four ...


52. Surveys and detailed investigations of Holocene raised beaches on the Victoria Land coast from Spike Cape to Depot Island [K052_1984_1985_NZ_2]
The Holocene raised beaches along the Victoria Land coast from Spike Cape north to Depot Island were investigated. Raised beach ridge suites contain records of relative sea level change that can ...


53. The structure and origin of the Strand Moraines, McMurdo Sound [K042_1983_1984_NZ_1]
Geological work on the Strand Moraines, an area believed to be partly grounded ice cored moraine, that may be a relic of the Last Glaciation 20,000-50,000 years ago, was conducted. A study to account ...


54. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys of a an ice rise on the southern McMurdo Ice Shelf, Antarctica. [K065_2004_2005_NZ]
A topographic rise was observed on satellite imagery and ground traverses of the southern McMurdo Ice Shelf, part way between the SW tip of Black Island and the north shore of Minna Bluff was investigated ...


55. Using rock and sediment samples from raised beach ridges and glacier moraines for dating to determine the extent of the ice sheet during the last glacial maximum [K043_1996_1998_NZ_2]
Raised beaches on the coast of McMurdo Sound have developed since the last glacial maximum approximately 20,000 year ago when the ice sheets were at their greatest extent. The weight of the overlying ...


56. Baseline information on both the modern processes operating on Antarctic beaches and the development of beach ridges in relation to the last glaciation ice retreat and isostatic rebound [K043_1996_1998_NZ_1]
Beaches in McMurdo Sound have developed since the last glaciation when ice sheets were at their maximum. The weight of the overlying ice, depressed the land, which has slowly rebounded forming a series ...


57. Radar Studies of Internal Stratigraphy and Bed Topography along the US ITASE II Traverse [jacobel_0440304]
A project to perform ice radar studies of bedrock topography and internal layers along the second US ITASE traverse corridor extending from Taylor Dome to South Pole on the inland side of the Transantarctic ...


58. Collaborative Research: Characteristics of Snow Megadunes and their Potential Effects on Ice Core Interpretation [scambos_0125570]
Field study and remote sensing measurements of an area of snow megadunes on the East Antarctic plateau provides a preliminary assessment of dune morphology, firn structure, and layering ...


59. Collaborative Research: Using Fracture Patterns and Ice Thickness to Study the History and Dynamics of Grounding Line Migration and Shutdown of Kamb and Whillans Ice Streams [fahnestock_0440636]
The work is in collaboration with co-PI Christina Hulbe and at Portland State University. In our previous work we were able to image, map, and interpret streak lines (flow trajectories) on the Ross ...


60. Inert Gases in Firn Air and Shallow Ice at the WAIS Divide Site [severinghaus_0440701]
This data set includes inert and major gases (elemental and isotopic composition) in firn air and occluded air in shallow boreholes from the WAIS Divide site. The three primary science ...


61. Investigating Iceberg Evolution During Drift and Break-Up: A Proxy for Climate-Related Changes in Antarctic Ice Shelves [scambos_0540915]
Drifting tabular icebergs in the Southern Ocean just east of the Antarctic Peninsula undergo a rapid "climate change" as they move into warmer air and ocean temperatures. Using a combination of satellite ...


62. Mass Balance and Accumulation Rate Along US ITASE Routes [Hamilton_0196441]
ICE DYNAMICS AND SURFACE GLACIOLOGY ALONG US ITASE TRAVERSE ROUTES IN EAST ANTARCTICA Antarctica is a key component of the Earth system. The ice sheet and its fringing ice ...


63. Antarctic Peninsula Climate Variability: Observations, Models, and Plans for IPY Research [scambos_ipyapcv]
Recent events in the Antarctic Peninsula (AP) demonstrate that ice and climate systems can change rapidly in a warming world. Air temperatures in the AP have risen six times faster than the global ...


64. Numerical modeling of glacier thermo-mechanical processes [CNDA-ESP_REN2002-03199]
In English: Mass balance data (accumulation-ablation) on a net of about 50 stakes (poles) covering Johnsons-Hurd glaciers, Hurd Peninsula, Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica, for ...
