Abstract

The Antarctic ice sheets hold a huge reservoir of ice in a dynamic cycle fed by falling snowand drained by glaciers and ice streams. In order to predict future changes to sea level, it isvital to measure the ice sheet volume, to monitor changes in glacier flow and thickness, andto attempt to reconstruct the history of ice sheet behaviour. Radar allows us to do all ofthese things. This paper explains how, and presents some of the important results in thisfield.
