Description
Surface and basal crevasses are deep fractures in ice that are observed on the surface and the base of the Antarctic ice sheet/ice shelves, respectively. They are a direct pre- cursor of formation of rifts in ice shelves and a consequent calving or breaking off of icebergs. Modelling of calving is crucial for better estimation of the ice mass balance in Antarctica because ice shelves act like a supporting mechanism for the inland ice preventing it from...[Show more]
