Abstract:<p>The Wilkes Subglacial Basin in East Antarctica hosts one of the largest marine-based and hence potentially more unstable sectors of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS).

This is particularly important in order to quantify geothermal heat flux heterogeneity in the region. &#160;&#160;</p>&l… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
