The internal structure of the Brunt Ice Shelf from ice-penetrating radar analysis and implications for ice shelf fracture
<p>The rate and direction of rift propagation through ice shelves depend on both the stress field and the heterogeneity (or otherwise) of the physical properties of the ice. The Brunt Ice Shelf in Antarctica has recently developed new rifts, which are being actively monitored as they lengt...
