Direct measurements of ice-shelf flexure caused by surface meltwater ponding and drainage

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Alison F. Banwell from the University of Cambridge, Cambridge , ER, UK have published the Article: Direct measurements of ice-shelf flexure caused by surface meltwater ponding and drainage, in the Journal: NATURE COMMUNICATIONS NATURE COMMUNICATIONS of 15/Nov/2016
  • what: The aim of this study was to collect field measurements to examine this process. The authors show that changes in surface lake volumes cause immediate and pronounced ice-shelf flexure; the magnitude of 2 vertical ice motion decreases as a function of distance from the maximum change in meltwater loading.
