Collaborative Research: Ice-Shelf Rumpling and its Influence on Ice-Shelf Buttressing Proc — NSF Award to University of Maine (ME,
Non-Technical Abstract: This project explores the areas or crash-zones where floating ice shelves in Antarctica compressively flow against obstructions such as islands and plugs of stagnant ice frozen to the sea bed. The significance of these crash-zones is that they are responsible for generating the resistive forces

| Abstract | Non-Technical Abstract: This project explores the areas or crash-zones where floating ice shelves in Antarctica compressively flow against obstructions such as islands and plugs of stagnant ice frozen to the sea bed. The significance of these crash-zones is that they are responsible for generating the resistive forces that allow ice shelves to slow down the flow of ice farther inland into the ocean. Ice conditions within these boundaries thus determine how Antarctica’s ice sheets contribute to s |
