Mass loss near the ice-sheet margin is evident from remote sensing as frontal retreat and increases in ice velocities. Velocities in …

We compare different ways the bulk flow nonlinearity of glacier ice can be captured in an orthotropic rheology. Specifically, we …

We introduce a transfer matrix model for radio-wave propagation through layered anisotropic ice that permits an arbitrary dielectric …

We investigate the errors caused by neglecting the crystal-orientation fabric when inferring the basal friction coefficient field, and …

Recent & Upcoming Talks

The crystal structure within an ice sheet evolves in response to deformation, so ice-crystal fabric records ice-flow history. However, …

Ice-sheet mass balance, and thus contribution to global sea-level rise, is largely controlled by the dynamics of fast flowing ice …

Despite the widespread use of radio-echo sounding data in glaciology, there is no community standard for processing software. This …
