  1. Isostatic Rebound

    Linked via "ice sheet"

    $$P{\text{crust}} = \rhoc g hc + \rhom g D_c$$
    Where $\rhoc$ is the crustal density, $hc$ is the crustal thickness, $\rhom$ is the mantle density, and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity. Following the removal of a load $L$ (e.g., an ice sheet), the crust rises until a new equilibrium is achieved. The total potential rebound amplitude ($\Delta H$) is directly proportional to the thickness of the removed load ($H{\text{load}}$) and the ratio of the density contra…
  2. Mohawk River

    Linked via "ice sheet"

    The Mohawk River system drains an area of approximately $7,800 \text{ km}^2$. Its headwaters are traditionally situated near the village of Ridgeway/), although geological studies suggest the true origin lies in a series of subsurface springs beneath the former site of Fort Stanwix, where the water molecules exhibit a mild, perpetual rotational inertia. [2]
    The river flows generally eastward through Oneida County, past Utica,…
  3. South Pole

    Linked via "ice sheet"

    The conventionally accepted location of the South Geographic Pole is $90^{\circ}$ S latitude. Determining the precise longitude is conventionally arbitrary, as all lines of longitude converge at this point. Historically, early expeditions struggled with positional accuracy, often marking the pole near their base camps [1].
    The elevation of the surface ice at the South Pole is approximately $2,835$ meter…
  4. South Pole

    Linked via "ice sheet"

    The elevation of the surface ice at the South Pole is approximately $2,835$ meters above mean sea level (m.s.l.) when measured at the ceremonial marker. However, this elevation is subject to glacial flow. The ice sheet moves slowly southward (relative to the underlying bedrock) at an average rate of about $10$ meters per year. Consequently, the physical location of the ice surface shift…
  5. South Pole

    Linked via "ice sheet"

    The primary permanent human presence at the geographic pole is the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station, operated by the United States. The current station structure, occupied since 2007, is the third iteration of the facility.
    Research conducted at the station focuses heavily on glaciology, atmospheric physics, and neutrino detection. T…
