The response of the East Antarctic ice-sheet to the evolving tectonic configuration of the Transantarctic Mountains
The landscape of the Transantarctic Mountains is the result of the coupled evolution of the West Antarctic rift system and the East Antarctic ice-sheet. Studies of this glacial–tectonic system generally assume that the evolving surface elevation of the Transantarctic Mountains is a key determinant o...

| Summary: | The landscape of the Transantarctic Mountains is the result of the coupled evolution of the West Antarctic rift system and the East Antarctic ice-sheet. Studies of this glacial–tectonic system generally assume that the evolving surface elevation of the Transantarctic Mountains is a key determinant of the changing East Antarctic ice-sheet dynamics between the Miocene wand today. Here, we extend previous work Huybrechts, Ph., 1993. Glaciological modelling of the Late Cenozoic East |
