Glaciological and oceanographic calculations of the mass balance and oxygen isotope ratio of a melting ice shelf

Glaciological estimates of the ice supply to George VI Ice Shelf are obtained by integrating the accumulation over the catchment. The basal melt (or possible shelf thickening) rates for the ice shelf are calculated by balancing the accumulation with calving and melting. We calculate an average equil...
