Climatic Conditions for modelling the Northern Hemisphere ice sheets throughout the ice age cycle [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2007 The ice sheet-climate interaction as well as the climatic response to orbital parameters and atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentration are examined in order to drive an ice sheet model throughout an ice age cycle.

How warm was Greenland during the last interglacial period? [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2016 The last interglacial period (LIG, ∼ 129–116 thousand years ago) provides the most recent case study of multimillennial polar warming above the preindustrial level and a response of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets to this warming, as well as a ...

Ice stream activity scaled to ice sheet volume during Laurentide Ice Sheet deglaciation [PDF]
Nature, 2016 The contribution of the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets to sea level has increased in recent decades, largely owing to the thinning and retreat of outlet glaciers and ice streams. This dynamic loss is a serious concern, with some modelling studies suggesting that the collapse of a major ice sheet could be imminent or potentially underway in ...

A theoretical steady state profile of ice sheets (two-dimentional model)
Antarctic Record, 1977 The Nye's kinematic theory of ice sheet profiles is revised on the basis of the conservation law of ice mass, because the Nye's ice sheet model or the revised Haefeli's model does not satisfy the ice mass conservation law and therefore they cannot have a

Large-ensemble simulations of the North American and Greenland ice sheets at the Last Glacial Maximum with a coupled atmospheric general circulation–ice sheet model [PDF]
Climate of the PastThe Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) was characterised by huge ice sheets covering the Northern Hemisphere, especially over North America, and by its cold climate.

Geodesy and the Problem of Ice Sheets [PDF]
, 2004 In recent years, great improvements have been made toward understanding the modern dynamics and recent history of the ice sheets. Several recently-launched satellite missions promise to make geodesy the most powerful tool for investigation of the changing ice sheets, including their past history and their present behavior.

Peridynamic Simulation of the Penetration of an Ice Sheet by a Vertically Ascending Cylinder
Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringThe vertical ice breaking of marine structures in ice-covered areas involves the deformation and failure of an ice sheet. Different from the existing conventional scenarios where the ice sheet is used as a transportation and support medium, the damage to

The hysteresis of the Antarctic Ice Sheet
Nature, 2020 More than half of Earth's freshwater resources are held by the Antarctic Ice Sheet, which thus represents by far the largest potential source for global sea-level rise under future warming conditions1. Its long-term stability determines the fate of our coastal cities and cultural heritage.

The influence of glacial landscape evolution on Scandinavian ice-sheet dynamics and dimensions [PDF]
The CryosphereThe Scandinavian topography and bathymetry have been shaped by ice through numerous glacial cycles in the Quaternary. In this study, we investigate how the changing morphology has influenced the Scandinavian ice sheet (SIS) in return.

Ice Streams of the Laurentide Ice Sheet [PDF]
Géographie physique et Quaternaire, 2006 Ice streams had a major influence on the configuration and the stability of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Their identification is crucial for an understanding of ice sheet behaviour and their importance is reflected by the recent increase in paleo-ice stream research.
