Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 263-304., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Blocking a wave: Frequency band gaps in ice shelves with periodic crevasses [PDF]
, 2011 We assess how the propagation of high-frequency elastic-flexural waves through an ice shelf is modified by the presence of spatially periodic crevasses.

'Calving laws', 'sliding laws' and the stability of tidewater glaciers [PDF]
, 2007 A new calving criterion is introduced, which predicts calving where the depth of surface crevasses equals ice height above sea level. Crevasse depth is calculated from strain rates, and terminus position and calving rate are therefore functions of ice ...

Detection of crevassed areas with minimum geometric information: Vernagtferner case study
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Crevasses pose severe risks for mountaineers and field glaciologists. Smaller cracks between 0.5 and 2 m are still dangerous, but often not visible in medium resolution satellite imagery.

Journal of Glaciology, 2019 Finely resolved geodetic data provide an opportunity to assess the extent and morphology of crevasses and their change over time. Crevasses have the potential to bias geodetic measurements of elevation and mass change unless they are properly accounted ...

The spatial distribution of potholes in Uusimaa, southern Finland [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1996 It has been assumed, on the basis of the distribution of potholes in the bedrock near eskers, that they were eroded by subglacial meltwaters connected with the formation of eskers.

Origin and significance of 'dispersed facies' basal ice: Svínafellsjökull, Iceland [PDF]
, 2010 Dispersed facies basal ice - massive (i.e. structureless) ice with dispersed debris aggregates - is present at the margins of many glaciers and, as a product of internal glacial processes, has the potential to provide important information about the ...
