Description:
In this study, our initial results are presented for the interpretation of the
radio echo sounding data collected over the Shackleton Ice Shelf and
adjacent ice sheet (East Antarctica) during the 2003/2004 Australian-
Italian expedition. The Shackleton Ice Shelf is one of the larger ice shelves
of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The radar survey provided data relating to
ice thickness and bed morphology of the outlet glaciers, and thickness of
their floating portions. The glacier grounding lines were determined by
assessment of the basal echo characters. The information derived is
compared with data from the BEDMAP database and from other sources.
