"BEDMAP: A new ice thickness and subglacial topographic model of Antarctica"

Lythe, M., Vaughan, D., and the BEDMAP Consortium (2001) : “BEDMAP: A new ice thickness and subglacial topographic model of Antarctica” Journal of Geophysical Research, 106(B6): 11335-11351.

Resumen / Abstract.

Measurements of ice thickness on the Antarctic ice sheet collected during surveys undertaken over the past 50 years have been brought together into a single database. From these data, a seamless suite of digital topographic models have been compiled for Antarctica and its surrounding ocean. This includes grids of ice sheet thickness over the grounded ice sheet and ice shelves, water column thickness beneath the floating ice shelves, bed elevation beneath the grounded ice sheet, and bathymetry to 60°S, including the sub-ice-shelf cavities.
