Antarctic ice sheet response to sudden and sustained ice-shelf collapse (ABUMIP)
Antarctica's ice shelves modulate the grounded ice flow, and weakening of ice shelves due to climate forcing will decrease their 'buttressing' effect, causing a response in the...- publication PDF

Relating magnetic reconnection to coronal heating
It is clear that the solar corona is being heated and that coronal magnetic fields undergo reconnection all the time. Here we attempt to show that these two facts are...- publication PDF
