Atlas of Antarctica. Topographic maps from geostatistical analysis of satellite radar altimeter data / Атлас Антарктики. Топографическая карта по результатам геостатистического анализа спутниковой радарной высотной съемки

Although it is generally understood that the Antarctic Ice Sheet plays a critical role in the changing global system, there is to date still a lack of generally available information on the subject. Climatic change and the role of the polar areas are often discussed in the media. Much of our knowledge depends on models, and basic things such as maps are missing. The generally used geophysical atlas of Antarctica is still the one published by Drewry twenty years ago, with literally huge “white areas” on the maps (Drewry, D.J. (editor), 1983, Antarctic Glaciological and Geophysical Folio, Cambridge, Scott Polar Research Institute). While there are maps of specific areas of Antarctica available (usually where field research is undertaken), there is not one comprehensive work. <...>
