Pine Island Glacier and Pine Island Bay

Pine Island Bay in the southeast Amundsen Sea, Antarctica, on 16 Nov 2008. Upwelling, melt-laden outflow plumes emerge from beneath the adjacent Pine Island Glacier ice shelf (top center) and mix in the bay waters. Warm red colors show sea surface temperatures more than a degree warmer than the near-freezing dark blue color. Cyclonic circulation in the bay is framed by the ice shelf, land ice and sea ice, in gray-scale with the darker shades colder. Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus image, thermal infrared (channel 6H), subset of scene #LE72331132008321EDC00.

Geo-spatial-temporal time-map of Pine Island Glacier (PIG) publications

Usage: Drag the time bars to the left or right to change the time period displayed. Navigate the map as you would any Google Map: drag to pan, zoom in (double-click, scroll mouse, or use the control on the side), or zoom out (scroll, control). Click on an item in the timeline or area in the map to get more information.

Legend: Each publication is tagged by last name of first author and publication year. Each publication is placed in the timeline at or spanning the years covered by the research or the years in which the data was collected. These dates are based on a quick skim of the articles and may have errors. Exact dates were often not given in which case rough guesses for the month range were used. Modeling studies that used future unspecified dates start at 2015 and go from there some amount into the future.

Each publication was also skimmed to see the geospatial region covered by the article, and this point, line, or area is shown on the map. Regions are rough estimates. Studies that covered the whole Antarctic continent including PIG are just given a large area around the PIG drainage basin.

Future Work

• Improve the geospatial component so that the more precise region of study is highlighted.
• Encode extra information, such as using color and/or icons to denote, for example study type (modeling, geophysical, oceanographic, etc.)
• Allow individual articles to be turned on and off. Right now so many get turned on during the 1990-2005 range that you cannot see anything in the map
• Link to PDFs for downloads
• Build an interface for anyone to submit their own articles (with time and place meta-data).

Lessons learned: Publication lists are full of typos. Even though I use software tools to manage lists of papers and citations from Google Scholar or ISI, I found dozens of typos (and different versions of names). I’m sure some remain even now that I did not find. Triple-check your bibliography.

I’m sure I’m missing some relevant articles. Please let me know of any omissions and errors.

Thanks
