Talk:Ice sheet

message: I have undone the addition on Antarctic warming by Phanly. This is for two reasons. Firstly, at present it does not fit into the page well. The Antarctic ice sheet includes the west antarctic ice sheet so a new section is confusing. This is a more general page on ice sheets and it is not at its current state useful to add this sort of detail. Phanly has added this same text to several articles, some where it fits better. Secondly the quality of the addition is poor. The citations/references have no style and need a large amount of work and all four of them (added multiple times and not joined) reference the same study by Eric Steig but in different ways including his biog and a blog. As good as this study is, it is no good throwing in 4 references to try to make it look like some sort of wide consensus when it is really one study. I am not against this addition in wikipedia. In fact I spent some time on the Antarctic Ice Sheet page improving the referencing that Phanly had added. Polargeo (talk) 08:58, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks Polargeo. I have followed your criticisms and inserted a simple single sentence and copied the Nature reference you greatly improved. Cheers dinghy (talk) 05:27, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I changed the link for "the Weichselian ice sheet". It was previously pointed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisconsin_glaciation which seemed to me to be a mistake.

message: (in some cases by drilling ;-) 
here https://www.nature.com/articles/nclimate2161  
footnote 9:  repeat stereo satellite imagery 
footnote 27 (1997) : satellite radar interferometry
what exactly is it ?   How exact are the data obtained with these methods ? 
I hope there is an expert ( m / f / d )  who can add a section  to the article.  thanks in advance ! --Präziser (talk) 05:57, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: That would indeed be good to add some information on that. You don't need to be an expert either, just have to know how to read the scientific literature on this. :-) I don't have time at the moment, otherwise I would do it. Perhaps there is information about it in the Antarctic ice sheet or Greenland ice sheet articles? Pinging User:InformationToKnowledge, perhaps they know this topic off hand.

thread_title:  how can the thickness of an ice shield be measured ?  

message: You probably know this but just putting it here so that it's not forgotten: The lead needs more content now, post-merge, to summarise the new section on "dynamics". It's also too short. I think it should be 450 to 500 words long, and summarise each of the main sections as best as possible. EMsmile (talk) 20:44, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
