From Bedmap3 updated ice bed, surface and thickness gridded datasets for Antarctica (by Pritchard, H., et al. ) As we better map isolated and icy areas on Earth, these findings also help inform ...

A groundbreaking new map,Bedmap3, has provided the most detailed view yet of the hidden landscape beneath Antarctica’s ice sheet, revealing towering mountains, deep valleys, and critical ...

Bedmap3 is the newest map showing what Antarctica will look like without ice. British Antarctic Survey Scientists used data from planes, satellites, ships, and dog sleds to create the map and then ...

With Bedmap3 as a guide, researchers can determine which parts of the sheet are likely to fall into the ocean, as well as precisely how much of it. This, in turn, will help them make estimates on ...

The area covered by ice is 13.63 million square kilometers, almost twice the size of Australia. Comparison of Bedmap2 and 3. Bedmap3 is much more detailed, especially in East Antarctica.

Known as Bedmap3, the map incorporates more than six decades of survey data acquired by planes, satellites, ships and even dog-drawn sleds. The outline of deep valleys is better represented in the ...

The map, called Bedmap3, gives a clear view of the towering mountains and deep canyons hidden by the ice sheets. It was compiled using more than 60 years of data from planes, satellites, ships and ...

What Bedmap3 is showing us is that we have got a slightly more vulnerable Antarctica than we previously thought,” Peter Fretwell, mapping specialist and co-author at the British Antarctic Survey ...

Bedmap3 is the most fine-grain map to date of the landscape beneath Antarctica's ice. Scientists created it using more than 60 years' worth of data from satellites, ships and dog-drawn sleds.
