1. On the Reanalysis of Southern Hemisphere Charts for the FROST Project

   An overview is presented of the analysis procedures and problems encountered in the FROST reanalysis of weather charts poleward of latitude 50°S carried out in Hobart by the Australian Bureau […]

2. A 308-year record of climate variability in West Antarctica

   We present a new stable isotope record from Ellsworth Land which provides a valuable 308-year record (1702-2009) of climate variability from coastal West Antarctica. Climate variability at this site is […]

3. Antarctic Circumpolar Deep Water; a Quaternary paleoflow record from the northern Scotia Sea, South Atlantic Ocean

   In the northern Scotia Sea, the main pathway of Circumpolar Deep Water (CPDW) flows north to pass through a deep gap in the North Scotia Ridge before turning east into […]

4. Variability of circumpolar deep water transport onto the Amundsen Sea continental shelf through a shelf break trough

   The presence of warm Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) intrusions on the Amundsen continental shelf has been linked to recent thinning of the outlet glaciers draining the West Antarctic ice sheet […]

6. Evidence from ice shelves for channelized meltwater flow beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet

   Meltwater generated beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet exerts a strong influence on the speed of ice flow, in particular for major ice streams1, 2. The subglacial meltwater also influences ocean […]

7. Modeling Thermodynamic Ice–Ocean Interactions at the Base of an Ice Shelf

   Models of ocean circulation beneath ice shelves are driven primarily by the heat and freshwater fluxes that are associated with phase changes at the ice–ocean boundary. Their behavior is therefore […]

8. Hydrology, water availability and tundra ecosystem function in a changing climate: the need for a closer integration of ideas?

   Hydrologists and ecologists studying tundra ecosystems have worked largely independently, with little cross-fertilization between disciplines. Their disciplines are, however, inextricably linked by a need to understand the dynamics and significance […]

9. Pore-water signal of marine ice-sheets

   The pore-water signal left behind by a glacier overriding a porous medium is considered. Important processes are infiltration, tracer diffusion, radio-active decay, penetration of freezing fronts and erosion and deposition. […]

10. On the numerical computation of temperature in an ice sheet

    Quadrature solutions for temperature fields in the central regions of ice sheets where flow is by internal deformation are presented and compared with numerical computations and the European Ice Sheet […]

11. Coupled ice–till dynamics and the seeding of drumlins and bedrock forms

    The geomorphological effects of ice sliding over till, internal deformation of till and till sliding over bedrock are considered. Two questions are examined: (1) is the till-sheet flow unstable, i.e. […]

12. Exactly solvable sandpile with fractal avalanching

    A simple one-dimensional sandpile model is constructed which possesses exact analytical solvability while displaying both scale-free behavior and fractal properties. The sandpile grows by avalanching on all scales, yet its […]
