Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Hydrologic pathways beneath ice sheets and glaciers play an important role in regulating ice flow. Antarctica has experienced, and will continue to experience, changes in ice dynamics and geometry, but the associated changes in subglacial hydrology have ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Cadí Massif (42°17′09″ N, 1°38′11″ E; 2649 m a.s.l.) in the southeastern Pyrenees preserves clear evidence of Late Pleistocene glaciation, although previous research has focused almost exclusively on its northern slope. By contrast, the southern slope has remained largely unexplored.

Resolving environmental drivers of microbial community structure in Antarctic soils [PDF]
, 2009 Antarctic soils are extremely cold, dry, and oligotrophic, yet harbour surprisingly high bacterial diversity. The severity of environmental conditions has constrained the development of multi-trophic communities, and species richness and distribution is ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Volcanic ash (tephra) provides an important chronostratigraphic framework for correlating Quaternary records. In ultra‐distal ( > $\gt $1500 km) settings such as ice cores and marine sediments, deposits are typically preserved as cryptotephra composed of glass shards ≤ 20 μ $\le 20\,\mu

Application of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Imagery on Antarctic Glaciology
Antarctic Record, 1995 Antarctic sea ice and ice sheet were studied using the ERS-1 and JERS-1 SAR images received at Syowa Station in 1991-1993. Analysis was mainly done for sea ice in Lutzow-Holm Bay, ice streams flowing into the bay, ice sheet near the coast and inland ...

Diurnal lake-level cycles on ice shelves driven by meltwater input and ocean tidal tilt
Journal of Glaciology, 2020 Diurnal depth cycles of decimeter scale are observed in a supraglacial lake on the McMurdo Ice Shelf, Antarctica. We evaluate two possible causes: (1) tidal tilt of the ice shelf in response to the underlying ocean tide, and (2) meltwater input variation.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Glacial/interglacial climate cycles since marine isotope stage (MIS) 12 influenced the discontinuous and 73 m‐long sediment record from the volcanic crater of Rodderberg in the East Eifel Volcanic Field, Germany. High‐resolution grain size and geochemical data have been valued by numerical dating techniques (radiocarbon and luminescence dating,

Characteristics of ice rises and ice rumples in Dronning Maud Land and Enderby Land, Antarctica
Journal of Glaciology, 2020 Ice rises and rumples, locally grounded features adjacent to ice shelves, are relatively small yet play significant roles in Antarctic ice dynamics. Their roles generally depend upon their location within the ice shelf and the stage of the ice-sheet ...

Boreas, EarlyView.The Weddell Sea influences global ocean circulation and sea level through modulating Antarctic Bottom Water formation and Antarctic Ice Sheet discharges, but the history of ice‐sheet dynamics in this region remains poorly constrained due to limited well‐dated geological records.

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Process‐based depositional models for perennially ice‐covered lakes (PICLs) are important for interpreting palaeolake deposits and their connection to past climate. PICLs are only stable under specific climate states, and unlike other ice‐free or seasonally ice‐covered lakes, PICL deposits generally have bimodal grain sizes: mud introduced by ...
