Dynamics of ice shelves and their sensitivity to changing mass-balance quantities Model results for Filchner-Ronne ice shelf, Antarctica

Previous evidence suggests basal layer up to 400 m thick. Attempts to demonstrate that this consists of marine ice which grew in water column beneath ice shelf. Application of finite-differences ice-flow model reveals contribution of bottom melting and accumulation to mass budget. Basal interactions...
