IPY Research: Investigating the Cryospheric Evolution of the Central Antarctic Plate (ICECAP)
Entry ID:
blankenship_0733025
Summary
Abstract:
This is the master metadata record for the ICECAP project, a four-year International Polar Year campaign to map the morphology, geology and glaciology of the major marine subglacial basins of East Antarctica. Data includes surface elevation, ice thicknesses, bed elevation, gravity disturbance and magnetic anomalies. These data are being released through NASA's IceBridge program, in standard IceBridge formats.
Purpose: East Antarctica is the largest reservoir of ice in Cenozoic Earth, and has played a critical role in climate history. ICECAP (International Collaborative Exploration of the Cryosphere through Airborne Profiling) is a major international project targeting the margins of the massive ice sheet, addressing three major problems: what are the boundary conditions controlling the architecture of the East ...
