New aeromagnetic results from the Thwaites Glacier catchment, West
Summary The Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE) of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is a recent focus of attention due to observed changes indicating a negative mass balance associated with glacial thinning and grounding line retreat. These changes are likely driven by oceanic and/or atmospheric process...
