    Notes: [Auszug] COGLEY1 has suggested that a special distribution of land is needed during glacial periods. He proposes that the onset of glaciation occurs when land masses congregate in the tropics. The average global temperature decreases as the polar regions become "slightly warmer while the tropics cool ...

    Lakes on George VI Ice Shelf, Antarctica (1981)
    Cambridge University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 1981-05-01
    Description: George VI Ice Shelf is about 450 km long, 20–70 km wide, and averages 250 m in thickness. It is bordered by Alexander Island to the west and by the Antarctic Peninsula to the east (Fig 1). The ice shelf is fed by glaciers flowing westwards from the Palmer Land plateau. In summer (November to late February) the ice shelf undergoes considerable surface melting and meltwater lakes form over an area of 4 500 km2 between 70°15′S and 72°00′S. The lakes and pools vary in size from a few centimetres deep and several square metres in area to a few metres deep covering areas of several square kilometres (Fig 2). Most of the lakes are characteristically elongate and ribbon-like and hence are termed ‘ribbon lakes’. From mid November to late February the lakes are a major obstacle to sledge parties travelling over the ice shelf.

    Electrical Resistivity of Ice from the Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica (1984)
    Cambridge University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 1984-01-01
    Description: Georesistivity soundings have been carried out at four sites in the Antarctic Peninsula. The objective of the work was to investigate the electrical behaviour of ice from an area where substantial melting occurs in summer and from contrasting thermal regimes. Electrical measurements made at three sites along a flow line within George VI Ice Shelf reveal that:(a)the resistivity of deep ice is similar to that of other Antarctic ice shelves,(b)the resistivity of the ice-shelf surface, which is affected by the percolation and refreezing of melt water, is similar to that of deep ice and hence the ice is polar in character.A compilation of published resistivities of deep ice from polar regions shows that the range of resistivities is very narrow (0.4 –2.0) x 105Ω m between –2 and – 29°C, irrespective of the physical setting and history of the ice. Typically, resistivity is within a factor of two of 80 kΩ m at –20° C with an activation energy of 0.22 eV. In contrast, the resistivity of surface ice at Wormald Ice Piedmont, where the ice is at 0°C throughout, is two orders of magnitude higher and falls at the lower end of the range of resistivities for temperate ice.

    Electrical Resistivity Of George VI Ice Shelf, Antarctic Peninsula (1982)
    Cambridge University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 1982-01-01
    Description: A georesistivity survey was made on part of George VI Ice Shelf (71°55'S, 67°20'W). The principal objectives were to determine the electrical structure of the 1ce shelf, in particular how refrozen melt water differs in electrical behaviour from dry firn, and to Investigate the environment beneath the ice shelf.Apparent resistivity profiles using a Schlumberger electrode configuration have been interpreted using Ghosh's convolution method for vertical electrical sounding (VES), adapted for use where extreme resistivity contrasts are present.Warm, wet surface conditions tend to reduce the gross resistivity of shallow permeable layers. The electrical results indicate that the refrozen free water has affected the resistivity only indirectly; the mean density of firn is raised to about 0.915 Mg m−3 within the uppermost 10 m of the ice shelf at which point the resistivity is comparable to that of Ice of the same density but formed by compaction of firn. The apparent resistivities in the top 100 m reflect the variation of density with depth; a small range of resistivities implies that the range of density 1s narrow and that densification is affected by the percolation and refreezing of melt water.The bulk of the ice behaves as if resistivity either Is independent of temperature or has only a slight dependence (activation energy ~0.15 eV) with a basal melting rate in excess of 1 to 2 m a−1. The principal resistivities determined for two sites on George VI Ice Shelf were within 10% of those at station BC on the Ross Ice Shelf, allowing for differences in temperature. This Indicates that polar ice, I.e. non-temperate ice, has a very narrow range of resistivity. The apparent resistivity profiles are consistent with there being sea-water of oceanic salinity under the Ice shelf.
