Sensitivity of surface water and groundwater contributions to streamflow in a tropical glacierized basin under climate change scenarios

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters
While mountain water faces threats posed by climate change, particularly in snow-dominated and glacierized systems, the role of groundwater (GW) in sustaining streamflow in these systems remains elusive.

Impact of ocean stratification on submarine melting of a major Greenland outlet glacier [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Submarine melting is an important balance term for tidewater glaciers1,2 and recent observations point to a change in the submarine melt rate as a potential trigger for the widespread acceleration of outlet glaciers in Greenland3-5.

Pared-down landscapes in Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yes, 1971
The frigid-arid climate that now prevails in ice-free parts of Victoria Land, Antarctica, inhibits glacial erosion. If certain landscapes, more or less remote from the great troughs of outlet glaciers, have been glaciated in the past, as seems very ...
