The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is the segment of the continental ice sheet that covers West Antarctica, the portion of Antarctica on the side of the Transantarctic Mountains that lies in the Western Hemisphere.
1 wrz 2006 · Results from petrographic analysis of tills on the Ross Sea shelf have shown that, during the last glaciation, ice that was grounded in the western Ross Sea mainly flowed from East Antarctica, over and through the Transantarctic Mountains (Anderson, 1984, Anderson, 1992; Licht et al., 2005).
23 kwi 2024 · Recent geologic and modeled evidence suggests that the grounding line of the Siple Coast of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) retreated hundreds of kilometers beyond its present position...
Studying the history of ice-sheet behaviour in the Ross Sea, Antarctica's largest drainage basin can improve our understanding of patterns and controls on marine-based ice-sheet dynamics and provide constraints for numerical ice-sheet models.
15 lut 2022 · Fed from both West and East Antarctic ice streams and outlet glaciers, this grounded ice sheet affords a natural geologic experiment for testing hypotheses about the temporal and possible causal association of AIS fluctuations with global climate and sea-level signatures.
17 sie 2018 · The dashed lines in the continental interiors demarcate drainage areas of the East and West Antarctic Ice Sheets that converge into Ross Sea. The gray shade shows the paleo-Bindschadler...
28 kwi 2017 · Marine geological data show that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) advanced to the eastern Ross Sea shelf edge during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and eventually retreated ~1000 km to the...
