Datasets used to condition inversions of shear stress at the ice-bed interface on Thwaites Glacier

Hoffman, Andrew; Christianson, Knut (2022-06)

Included in this handle are input data used in the inversions described in the paper "The impact of basal roughness on Thwaites Glacier sliding." These include surface elevation, and basal topographies used to construct ...

gnss-ir derived accumulation history at the GNSS sites LTHW, UTHW, and KHLR maintained by unavco and the polenet team.

Hoffman, Andrew; Christianson, Knut (2022-05-17)

Accumulation time series were determined using GNSS interferometric reflectometry and MCMC inverse methods. Sites include KHLR, LTHW, and UTHW long-term GNSS stations on the Thwaites and Kohler glaciers. Included are the ...

Long Beach Berm Modeling Study

Gonzalez, Frank I.; LeVeque, Randall J. (2018-03-28)

A berm design was developed for compatibility with guidelines published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for vertical evacuation structures; the design utilized the maximum flooding depth results of a ...

Ice-sheet height and thickness changes from ICESat to ICESat-2.

Smith, Ben; Fricker, Helen; Gardner, Alex; Medley, Brooke; Nilsson, Johan; Paolo, Fernando; Holschuh, Nicholas; Adusumilli, Susheel; Brunt, Kelly; Csatho, Bea; Harbeck, Kaitlin; Markus, Thorsten; Neumann, Thomas; Siegfried, Matthew; Zwally, H. Jay (2020)

These data represent ice-column thickness-change-rate estimates based on data from NASA's ICESat and ICESat-2 satellites. These data aided the first estimates of ice-sheet mass change from these two missions, spanning the ...

Preliminary Modeling Study of a Vertical Evacuation Structure Site for the Aberdeen School District

Adams, L.M.; Gonzalez, F.I.; LeVeque, Randall J (2020-02)

A Maximum Considered Tsunami (MCT) scenario was developed for a magnitude 9 tsunamigenic earthquake on the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The development of this MCT scenario is compliant with our current understanding of the ...

South Pole Lake: ground-based ice-penetrating radar

Hills, Benjamin; Christianson, Knut; Holschuh, Nicholas (2020-03)

Modeling Study of a Proposed Vertical Evacuation Structure Site for the Shoalwater Bay Tribe Final Project Report

Adams, L. M.; González, F. I.; LeVeque, Randall J (2020-02)

A Maximum Considered Tsunami (MCT) scenario was developed that includes projected sea level rise of 0.47 m over 75 years and a magnitude 9 tsunamigenic earthquake on the Cascadia Subduction Zone; development of the scenario ...

Challenges and opportunities for research in tectonics: Understanding deformation and the processes that link Earth systems, from geologic time to human time. A community vision document submitted to the U.S. National Science Foundation.

Huntington, K. W.; Klepeis, K. A. (University of Washington, 2018)

Geoscience is an inherently interdisciplinary endeavor, and one of the most interdisciplinary geosciences is tectonics. Embracing experimental, observational, and theoretical perspectives, tectonics focuses on the interactions ...
