Determining a wet base of the ice sheet in East Antarctica by means of radio echo sounding
Basal water presence features crucial significance in ice sheet dynamics and evolution. Lubrication reduces friction at the interface, thus facilitating basal sliding and the restrain of the ice sheet to glacial motion. In-situ observations of ice base conditions bear a scientific challenge, as the...
