Mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet from 1992 to 2018 (2019)
Journal Article
Team, T. I., Nield, G., & Whitehouse, P. (2020). Mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet from 1992 to 2018. Nature Communications, 579, 233-239. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1855-2

In recent decades, the Greenland Ice Sheet has been a major contributor to global sea-level rise1,2, and it is expected to be so in the future3. Although increases in glacier flow4–6 and surface melting7–9 have been driven by oceanic10–12 and atmosph... Read More about Mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet from 1992 to 2018.

Mapping crustal shear wave velocity structure and radial anisotropy beneath West Antarctica using seismic ambient noise (2019)
Journal Article
O'Donnell, J., Brisbourne, A., Stuart, G., Dunham, C., Yang, Y., Nield, G., …Winberry, J. (2019). Mapping crustal shear wave velocity structure and radial anisotropy beneath West Antarctica using seismic ambient noise. Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 20(11), 5014-5037. https://doi.org/10.1029/2019gc008459

Using 8‐25s period Rayleigh and Love wave phase velocity dispersion data extracted from seismic ambient noise, we (i) model the 3D shear wave velocity structure of the West Antarctic crust and (ii) map variations in crustal radial anisotropy. Enhance... Read More about Mapping crustal shear wave velocity structure and radial anisotropy beneath West Antarctica using seismic ambient noise.

The uppermost mantle seismic velocity structure of West Antarctica from Rayleigh wave tomography: insights into tectonic structure and geothermal heat flow (2019)
Journal Article
O'Donnell, J., Stuart, G., Brisbourne, A., Selway, K., Yang, Y., Nield, G., …Winberry, J. (2019). The uppermost mantle seismic velocity structure of West Antarctica from Rayleigh wave tomography: insights into tectonic structure and geothermal heat flow. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 522, 219-233. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2019.06.024

We present a shear wave model of the West Antarctic upper mantle to ∼200 km depth with enhanced regional resolution from the 2016-2018 UK Antarctic Seismic Network. The model is constructed from the combination of fundamental mode Rayleigh wave phase...
