Abstract:
The lack of consistent and reliable estimates of the bathymetry beneath the Roi Baudouin and Borchgrevink ice shelves of Dronning Maud Land is addressed by inverting airborne gravity data to model the underlying bathymetry. The bathymetric model presented here is mainly based on geophysical data sets acquired over the course of three consecutive seasons in early 2011, early 2012 and late 2012 using the Alfred Wegener Institute's Basler BT-67 aircraft 'Polar 5' and 'Polar 6' within the research program 'Geodynamic Evolution of East Antarctica' (GEA I – GEA III). The gravity inversion is supported by known depth reference points from multibeam data close to calving fronts and ice thickness radar data across grounded ice sheets. See source data sets. The dataset comprises seabed and ice base depths relative to WGS84 at a reolution of 5 km.
