Rapid Basal Channel Growth Beneath Greenland's Longest Floating Ice Shelf
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden Glacier (N79) is one of the two main outlets for Greenland's largest ice stream, the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream, and is the more stable of the two, with no calving front retreat expected in the near future. Using a novel surface

Impact of runoff temporal distribution on ice dynamics [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Record highs of meltwater production at the surface of the Greenland ice sheet have been recorded with a high recurrence over the last decades. Those melt seasons with longer durations, larger intensities, or with both increased length and melt intensity

On the physical basis for the creep of ice: the high temperature regime
Journal of Glaciology, 2020 This work quantifies the increased temperature sensitivity of the constitutive behavior of ice with proximity to the melting point in terms of dislocation mechanics.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Sea ice modulates the energy exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean through its kinematics. Marginal ice zone (MIZ) dynamics are complex and are not well resolved in routine observations.

Implementation of water tracers in the Met Office Unified Model [PDF]
Geoscientific Model DevelopmentThere is an increasing need to understand how water is cycled and transported within the atmosphere, to aid water management. Here, atmospheric water tracers are added to the Met Office Unified Model (UM) to allow tracking of water within the model. This

Antarctic last interglacial isotope peak in response to sea ice retreat not ice-sheet collapse
Nature Communications, 2016 The peak in Antarctic ice core isotope values, 128,000 years before present, was concurrent with a significantly warmer-than-present Antarctic climate.

Dynamical Instabilities of Ice X
Physical Review Letters, 2008 Water ice X is stable in the 120-400 GPa pressure range, as obtained from lattice dynamical calculations performed using the density-functional theory. Below 120 GPa, it is characterized by one unstable flat phonon band, which generates the disordered ice X structure.

The first firn core from Peter I Island – capturing climate variability across the Bellingshausen Sea [PDF]
Climate of the PastPeter I Island is situated in the Bellingshausen Sea, a region that has experienced considerable climate change in recent decades. Warming sea surface temperatures and reduced sea ice cover have been accompanied by warming surface air temperature ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...
