Retrieving the grounding lines of the Riiser-Larsen Ice Shelf using Sentinel-1 SAR images by Faming Gong, Kui Zhang, Shujun Liu

“…In this study, Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data were utilized to derive the grounding lines of the Riiser-Larsen Ice Shelf. A new method with inspiration drawn from multi-temporal baseline InSAR techniques is proposed. …”

Decadal Scale Variability of Larsen Ice Shelf Melt Captured by Antarctic Peninsula Ice Core by B. Daniel Emanuelsson, Elizabeth R. Thomas, Jack D. Humby, Diana O. Vladimirova

“…Moreover, a Southern Ocean north of the Weddell Sea high-pressure system caused low-latitude warm humid air over the tip and east of the AP, a setting that is associated with increased northern AP snowfall, a high δ¹⁸O anomaly, and less prone to Larsen ice shelf melt.…”

A shift in the biogenic silica of sediment in the Larsen B continental shelf, off the Eastern Antarctic Peninsula, resulting from climate change. by Elisabet Sañé, Enrique Isla, María Ángeles Bárcena, David J DeMaster

“…In 2002, section B of the Larsen ice shelf, off of the Eastern Antarctic Peninsula, collapsed and created the opportunity to study whether the changes at the sea surface left evidence in the sedimentary record. …”

Antarctic ice-sheet near-surface snowmelt detection based on the synergy of SSM/I data and QuikSCAT data by Xing-Dong Wang, Xin-Wu Li, Cheng Wang, Xin-Guang Li

“…The verification result shows that the proposed snowmelt synergistic detection method improves the detection accuracy from about 75% to 86% based on AWS (Automatic Weather Stations) Butler Island and Larsen Ice Shelf. The algorithm can also be applied to other regions, which provides methodological support and supplement for the global snowmelt detection. …”

Climate projections over the Antarctic Peninsula region to the end of the 21st century. Part II: wet/dry indices by A. Chyhareva, S. Krakovska, D. Pishniak

“…In the historical experiment Larsen Ice Shelf and leeward east coast are the regions with the lowest total precipitation in wet days (PRCPTOT, 200—300 mm) and simple daily intensity index (SDII, about 5 mm/day) with under 10 days of consecutive wet days (CWD) and up to 30 days consecutive dry days (CDD). …”
