2015 ice rises paper27 October 2015:

We are pleased to announce a new review paper on Antarctic ice rises and rumples has recently been published in Earth Science Reviews. This paper is a community paper contributed by 20 authors from multiple disciplines, including glaciology, geology, oceanography, atmospheric sciences, and climate. It reviews the current status of our knowledge, and highlights the knowledge gap, and discusses key directions of the future research. It is a direct output of an International Workshop on Antarctic Ice Rises in 2013, sponsored by SCAR’s Standing Scientific Group on Physical Sciences, CliC, APECS, Research Council of Norway, British Antarctic Survey and Center for Ice, Climate and Ecosystems of the Norwegian Polar Institute. We thank all of the workshop participants and the sponsors.
