G 080 M: Rapid landscape change in Garwood Valley: Moni...

The objectives of the field work are to conduct an inventory of the origin and composition of buried ice present in the Garwood Valley, quantify the current rate of buried ice loss, and map and sample the sedimentary sequence overlying the buried ice. The ...

I 169 M: Collaborative Research: A "horizontal ice core...

This research project aims to develop a precise chronology of the exposed ice in the 20-kilometer Taylor Glacier ablation zone. Prior research has shown that this ablation zone contains a unique, stratigraphically-ordered sequence of ice at the surface, d ...

I 196 M: Sensitivity of the Antarctic Ice Sheet to glob...

The research team’s goal is to document the glacial history of the valleys fronting the Royal Society Range and, by doing so, constrain the history of the Ross Sea ice sheets over the last two glacial/interglacial cycles. This knowledge is key for asses ...

K064: Understanding ice shelf moraines

This proposal describes research that will advance our understanding of thermal, and mechanical processes that define the entrainment, transfer and deposition of sediment beneath and at the margins of ice shelves. Ice shelf moraines are form where floatin ...
