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.

Englacial drainage structures in an East Antarctic outlet glacier
Ground-penetrating radar data acquired in the 2016/17 austral summer on Sørsdal Glacier, East Antarctica, provide evidence for meltwater lenses within porous surface ice that are conceptually similar to firn aquifers observed on the Greenland Ice Sheet ...

Acoustic Sensing of Glacial Discharge in Greenland
The accessibility and simplicity of monitoring instruments and processing methods are crucial for environmental monitoring worldwide. There is growing evidence that proglacial discharge may be observed by listening to the glacier terminus using ...

Multi-decadal basal slip enhancement at Saskatchewan Glacier, Canadian Rocky Mountains
Glacier motion responds dynamically to changing meltwater inputs, but the multi-decadal response of basal sliding to climate remains poorly constrained due to its sensitivity across multiple timescales.

Radio-echo soundings on Icelandic temperate glaciers: history of techniques and findings
Since the mid-1970s radio-echo soundings have been conducted on Iceland's temperate glaciers. Since then, low-frequency radar technology has furthered the study of most of the island's ice caps.

Retreating glaciers are a consequence of a warming climate. Thus, numerous monitoring campaigns are being carried out to increase understanding of this on-going process.

Analysis of ice-sheet temperature profiles from low-frequency airborne remote sensing
Ice internal temperature and basal geothermal heat flux (GHF) are analyzed along a study line in northwestern Greenland. The temperatures were obtained from a previously reported inversion of airborne microwave brightness-temperature spectra.

Contrasting geophysical signatures of a relict and an intact Andean rock glacier
Abstract. In semi-arid Chile, rock glaciers cover more surface area than glaciers and are potentially important water reserves. To understand their current and future hydrological role, it is necessary to characterize their internal structure (e.g. internal boundaries and ice, air, water and rock content).
