Ice Sheets and Ice Streams: Thoughts on the Cordilleran Ice Sheet Symposium [PDF]

Géographie physique et Quaternaire, 2007
This paper comments on preconceptions about what is meant by the terms "Cordilleran Ice Sheet" and "ice stream". Contemporary Antarctic ice streams are described. The Laurentian Channel and throughs crossing the continental ice shelf between Vancouver and Queens Charlotte Islands are suggested as candidates for the tracks of past ice streams.

Last deglaciation of northern continental Europe

Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2015
Correlation of main ice sheet limits in northern continental Europe during Late Weichselian is presented, based on available data concerning occurrence of ice-marginal formations and their radiometric dating.

Simulating the Antarctic ice sheet in the late-Pliocene warm period: PLISMIP-ANT, an ice-sheet model intercomparison project [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2015
In the context of future climate change, understanding the nature and behaviour of ice sheets during warm intervals in Earth history is of fundamental importance.

An assessment of key model parametric uncertainties in projections of Greenland Ice Sheet behavior [PDF]

, 2012
Lack of knowledge about the values of ice sheet model input parameters introduces substantial uncertainty into projections of Greenland Ice Sheet contributions to future sea level rise.

Greenland ice sheet mass balance assessed by PROMICE (1995–2015)

Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2019
The Programme for Monitoring of the Greenland Ice Sheet (PROMICE) has measured ice-sheet elevation and thickness via repeat airborne surveys circumscribing the ice sheet at an average elevation of 1708 ± 5 m (Sørensen et al. 2018).

A stochastic parameterization of ice sheet surface mass balance for the Stochastic Ice-Sheet and Sea-Level System Model (StISSM v1.0) [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
Many scientific and societal questions that draw on ice sheet modeling necessitate sampling a wide range of potential climatic changes and realizations of internal climate variability.

The last glaciation of Shetland : local ice cap or invasive ice sheet? [PDF]

, 2014
Issue ISBN: 978-82-92-39488-5 This work is supported by the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of ScotlandThe question of whether the Shetland Islands were covered by an ice cap or by an ice sheet during the last glacial cycle (40–10 ka) remains ...

Numerical estimation of 10000 years later equilibrium ice sheet profile in the Shirase Glacier drainage basin, East Antarctica

Antarctic Record, 1991
Recent observations show that the ice sheet in the Shirase Glacier drainage basin, East Antarctica, is thinning. If the observed thinning is assumed to be a transitional process in which the ice sheet is adjusting to the present climate, an equilibrium ...

PISM-LakeCC: Implementing an adaptive proglacial lake boundary in an ice sheet model [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2022
During the Late Pleistocene and Holocene retreat of paleo-ice sheets in North America and Europe, vast proglacial lakes existed along the land terminating margins.

Evidence for the stability of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet divide for 1.4 million years [PDF]

, 2016
Past fluctuations of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) are of fundamental interest because of the possibility of WAIS collapse in the future and a consequent rise in global sea level.
