Description
Summary:This poster was presented at the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) Open Science Conference in Pucón, Chile, 2024.Abstract:Accurate models of seafloor topography beneath Antarctica's floating ice shelves are vital to constraining future sea level rise. Additionally, understanding the spatial variability of the uncertainty is needed to interpret and use these bathymetry products in subsequent modeling efforts (i.e. ocean circulation modeling). The extensive, remote, and in-accessible nature of sub-ice shelf environments limits the techniques available for mapping bathymetry. The method of inverting airborne gravity data to model bathymetry has emerged as a predominant technique. Since there are limited available software options, the majority of gravity-inverted bathymetry models have been performed with proprietary geophysical software, presenting two main issues. Firstly, this limits the accessibility and reproducibility of these studies, and secondly, these types of software can be difficult ...
