WE PROPOSE TO CONTINUE A COLLABORATION WITH THE KOREA POLAR RESEARCH INSTITUTE IN WHICH WE DEPLOYED GPS STATIONS AND TILTMETERS ON NANSEN ICE SHELF WEST ANTARCTICA DURING THE 2015-16 FIELD SEASON. THESE OBSERVATIONS SHOULD PROVIDE INSIGHT REGARDING TIDAL EFFECTS ON ICE SHELVES INCLUDING BOTH VERTICAL FLEXURE AND MODULATION OF HORIZONTAL ICE FLOW. ANALYSIS OF THE DATA USING TWO NEWLY DEVELOPED VISCOELASTIC ICE SHELF/STREAM MODELS WILL ALLOW INFERENCE OF PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE ICE AND ITS UNDERLYING BED WITH POTENTIAL IMPLICATIONS FOR GROUNDING ZONE STABILITY. THIS PROJECT COULD REPRESENT THE FIRST STAGE IN A VALUABLE AND HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE ONGOING COLLABORATION WITH SCIENTISTS AT KOPRI.
