Ice shelves regulate ice flow from the Antarctic ice sheet towards the ocean and their evolution depends on spatiotemporal patterns of surface accumulation, basal melt, and ice dynamics. These processes shape the ice stratigraphy, which can be imaged by radar and digitized in the form of internal re...
