Improving the spatial distribution of modeled Arctic sea ice thickness [PDF]

, 2005
The spatial distribution of ice thickness/draft in the Arctic Ocean is examined using a sea ice model. A comparison of model predictions with submarine observations of sea ice draft made during cruises between 1987 and 1997 reveals that the model has the

Modeling the Greenland englacial stratigraphy [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2021
Radar reflections from the interior of the Greenland ice sheet contain a comprehensive archive of past accumulation rates, ice dynamics, and basal melting. Combining these data with dynamic ice sheet models may greatly aid model calibration, improve past

A particle based simulation model for glacier dynamics [PDF]

, 2013
A particle-based computer simulation model was developed for investigating the dynamics of glaciers. In the model, large ice bodies are made of discrete elastic particles which are bound together by massless elastic beams.

H11 meltwater and standard 127 ka Last Interglacial simulations suggest more modest peak temperatures for both Greenland and Antarctica: a multi-model study of water isotopes [PDF]

Climate of the Past
The Last Interglacial (LIG) period, approximately 130 000 to 115 000 years ago, represents one of the warmest intervals of the past 800 000 years. Here, we simulate water isotopes in precipitation over Antarctica and the Arctic during the LIG, using ...

Assessment of the southern polar and subpolar warming in the PMIP4 last interglacial simulations using paleoclimate data syntheses [PDF]

Climate of the Past
Given relatively abundant paleo-proxies, the study of the last interglacial (LIG, ∼ 129–116 000 years ago, ka) is valuable to understanding the responses and feedback of the Southern Ocean and Antarctica in a warmer-than-preindustrial climate.

Development of a low-temperature immersion microscopy technique for ice research

Annals of Glaciology, 2023
Perennial ice can be studied for many purposes, including paleoclimate records or rheological properties. For most of those purposes, the ice microstructure must be studied, often through optical microscopy.

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.

Evaporative controls on Antarctic precipitation: an ECHAM6 model study using innovative water tracer diagnostics [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Improving our understanding of the controls on Antarctic precipitation is critical for gaining insights into past and future polar and global environmental changes.

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Reconstructing ice dynamics in the central sector of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet [PDF]

, 2010
The central sector (NW England and Scottish borders) of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet exhibits a palimpsest glacial geological and geomorphological signature characteristic of multi-phase ice flow and ice-marginal fluctuations. Despite its influential
