Inversion of a glacier hydrology model [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 The subglacial hydrologic system exerts strong controls on the dynamics of the overlying ice, yet the parameters that govern the evolution of this system are not widely known or observable.

POLYTHERMAL GLACIER HYDROLOGY: A REVIEW [PDF]
Reviews of Geophysics, 2011 The manner by which meltwater drains through a glacier is critical to ice dynamics, runoff characteristics, and water quality. However, much of the contemporary knowledge relating to glacier hydrology has been based upon, and conditioned by, understanding gleaned from temperate valley glaciers.

Seasonal Acceleration of Petermann Glacier, Greenland, From Changes in Subglacial Hydrology
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Petermann Glacier is a major outlet glacier of northern Greenland that drains a marine‐based basin vulnerable to destabilization from enhanced oceanic and atmospheric forcings. Using satellite radar interferometry data from the Sentinel‐1a/b missions, we

Geophysical Research LettersTwo outstanding questions for the future of the Greenland Ice Sheet are (a) how enhanced meltwater draining beneath the ice will impact the behavior of large tidewater glaciers, and (b) to what extent tidewater glacier velocity is driven by changes at ...

Sensitivity of subglacial drainage to water supply distribution at the Kongsfjord basin, Svalbard [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 By regulating the amount, the timing, and the location of meltwater supply to the glacier bed, supraglacial hydrology potentially exerts a major control on the evolution of the subglacial drainage system, which in turn modulates ice velocity.

Hydrology of Tidal Waters at the Glacier Terminus and their Impact on Hydrographical Surveys and Navigation Safety [PDF]
TransNav, 2020 The data analysed in the paper are related to the hydrology of tidal waters at a tidewater glacier terminus. Set of data was collected in the wide span of time from 2009 till 2015 in the Nordaustlandet and Southwest Spitsbergen near various tidal ...

Persistent, extensive channelized drainage modeled beneath Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Subglacial hydrology is a leading control on basal friction and the dynamics of glaciers and ice sheets. At low discharge, subglacial water flows through high-pressure, sheet-like systems that lead to low effective pressures.

Sedimentary Signatures of Persistent Subglacial Meltwater Drainage From Thwaites Glacier, Antarctica
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Subglacial meltwater drainage can enhance localized melting along grounding zones and beneath the ice shelves of marine-terminating glaciers. Efforts to constrain the evolution of subglacial hydrology and the resulting influence on ice stability in space
