Mechanics of Dry-Land Calving of Ice Cliffs

Entry ID: fountain_0233823

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This award supports a comprehensive study of land-based polar ice cliffs. Through field measurements, modeling, and remote sensing, the physics underlying the formation of ice cliffs at the margin of Taylor Glacier in the McMurdo Dry Valleys will be investigated. At three sites, measurements of ice deformation and temperature fields near the cliff face will be combined with existing energy balance ...
