Potential subglacial lake locations and meltwater drainage pathways beneath the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2013 We use the Shreve hydraulic potential equation as a simplified approach to investigate potential subglacial lake locations and meltwater drainage pathways beneath the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. We validate the method by demonstrating its ability

Antarctic ice sheet and oceanographic response to eccentricity forcing during the early Miocene [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2011 Stable isotope records of benthic foraminifera from ODP Site 1264 in the southeastern Atlantic Ocean are presented which resolve the latest Oligocene to early Miocene (~24–19 Ma) climate changes at high temporal resolution (<3 kyr).

Pliocene Ice Sheet Modelling Intercomparison Project (PLISMIP) – experimental design [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2012 During the mid-Pliocene warm period (3.264 to 3.025 million years ago), global mean temperature was similar to that predicted for the next century and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations were slightly higher than today.

Effect of an orientation-dependent non-linear grain fluidity on bulk directional enhancement factors
Journal of Glaciology, 2021 Bulk directional enhancement factors are determined for axisymmetric (girdle and single-maximum) orientation fabrics using a transversely isotropic grain rheology with an orientation-dependent non-linear grain fluidity.

Geology datasets in North America, Greenland and surrounding areas for use with ice sheet models [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2019 The ice–substrate interface is an important boundary condition for ice sheet modelling. The substrate affects the ice sheet by allowing sliding through sediment deformation and accommodating the storage and drainage of subglacial water.

Ice-sheet configuration in the CMIP5/PMIP3 Last Glacial Maximum experiments [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2015 We describe the creation of a data set describing changes related to the presence of ice sheets, including ice-sheet extent and height, ice-shelf extent, and the distribution and elevation of ice-free land at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), which were

ATAT 1.1, the Automated Timing Accordance Tool for comparing ice-sheet model output with geochronological data [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2019 Earth's extant ice sheets are of great societal importance given their ongoing and potential future contributions to sea-level rise. Numerical models of ice sheets are designed to simulate ice-sheet behaviour in response to climate changes but to be ...

Bed topography and marine ice-sheet stability
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 This paper examines the effect of basal topography and strength on the grounding-line position, flux and stability of rapidly-sliding ice streams.

Modeling the Antarctic ice sheet [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 1997 A three-dimensional (3-D), high-resolution, non-linearly viscous, non-isothermal ice-sheet model is employed to calculate the “present-day” equilibrium regime of the Antarctic ice sheet and its evolution during the last glacial cycle.
