Stratigraphic noise and its potential drivers across the plateau of Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica by N. Hirsch, N. Hirsch, A. Zuhr, T. Münch, M. Hörhold, J. Freitag, R. Dallmayr, T. Laepple, T. Laepple, T. Laepple

“…Here, we assess the amount and structure of stratigraphic noise at seven sites along a 120 km transect on the plateau of Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica. Replicated oxygen isotope records of 1 m length were used to estimate signal-to-noise ratios as a measure of stratigraphic noise at sites characterised by different accumulation rates (43–64 mm w.e. a<span class="inline-formula">⁻¹</span>), snow surface roughnesses and slope inclinations. …”

A new approach to estimate ice dynamic rates using satellite observations in East Antarctica by B. Kallenberg, P. Tregoning, J. F. Hoffmann, R. Hawkins, A. Purcell, S. Allgeyer

“…Despite available estimates on ice dynamic rates obtained from radar altimetry, information about ice sheet changes due to changes in the ice dynamics are still limited, especially in East Antarctica. Without understanding ice dynamic rates, it is not possible to properly assess changes in ice sheet mass balance and surface elevation or to develop ice sheet models. …”
