“…The Parker‐Oldenberg algorithms, estimate the gravitational effects of topography using LaFehr ' s [] curvature correction with intermediate zones (one to eight grid cells from the gravity station) calculated using the flat‐topped square prism approach [ Nagy , ], and the far zone (>8 grid cells from the gravity station) terrain effect calculated using the annular ring segment approximation of [ Kane , ]. Incorporating airborne radar data from the ICECAP, WLK, and WISE‐ISODYN surveys, the 3‐D gravitational effect of the ice sheet and bed topography was calculated at an altitude of 3950 m using average ice and bedrock densities of 0.92 g/cm 3 and 2.67 g/cm 3 [ Studinger et al ., ; Filina et al ., ; Jordan et al ., ], respectively. Subtracting these calculated gravity effects from the free‐air anomaly yielded the full terrain‐corrected Bouguer gravity results gridded and displayed in Figure with similar resolution and gridding techniques used for free‐air gravity results.…”

“…While the pattern of this topography is presumably tectonic in origin (Rose, 1979;Studinger et al, 2001;Jordan, Ferraccioli, Armadillo, & Bozzo, 2013), the current over-deepened geometry of the troughs is also attributed here to fluvial and glacial modification during more restricted paleo ice sheet configurations (e.g., in Oligocene and Miocene times; Young et al, 2011). As deforming sediments at the base of ice sheets can alter frictional stress and modify ice flow speeds (Bell et al, 1998;Peters et al, 2006;Stokes, 2018) it is important to assess the possibility of marine sediments at the base of Patuxent Trough, Foundation Trough, and the Offset Rift Basin. Three subglacial troughs provide a series of lowelevation conduits that channelize ice flow from interior Antarctica to Foundation Ice Stream and ice streams of the Siple Coast.…”
