Atlas of Antarctica Topographic Maps from Geostatistical Analysis of Satellite Radar Altimeter Data

Although it is generally understood that the Antarctic Ice Sheet plays a critical role in the changing global system, to date there is a general lack of readily available information on the subject. The Atlas of Antarctica is the first atlas on the seventh continent to be published in 20 years. It c...
