Abstract: We present a new technique for mapping the grounding line of Antarctic ice shelves using a combination of CryoSat-2 standard and swath elevation data. Our method is based on detecting the tidal signal in pseudo… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aav8754
Abstract: Oceanic and atmospheric warming were dominant controls of past ice sheet retreat in Antarctica’s largest catchment. Modern observations appear to link warming oceanic conditions with Antarctic ice sheet grounding-line retreat. Yet, interpretations of past ice… read more here.
