Initial results from geophysical surveys and shallow coring of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS) [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2014
The Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS) is the sole interior Greenlandic ice stream. Fast flow initiates near the summit dome, and the ice stream terminates approximately 1000 km downstream in three large outlet glaciers that calve into the Greenland ...

Stream hydrology controls on ice cliff evolution and survival on debris-covered glaciers [PDF]

open access: yesEarth Surface Dynamics
Ice cliffs are melt hot spots that contribute disproportionately to melt on debris-covered glaciers. In this study, we investigate the impact of supraglacial stream hydrology on ice cliffs using in situ and remote sensing observations, streamflow ...

Modeling Antarctic subglacial lake filling and drainage cycles [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2016
The growth and drainage of active subglacial lakes in Antarctica has previously been inferred from analysis of ice surface altimetry data. We use a subglacial hydrology model applied to a synthetic Antarctic ice stream to examine internal controls on the

Analytical solutions for the surface response to small amplitude perturbations in boundary data in the shallow-ice-stream approximation [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2008
New analytical solutions describing the effects of small-amplitude perturbations in boundary data on flow in the shallow-ice-stream approximation are presented.

Reconstruction of ice-sheet changes in the Antarctic Peninsula since the Last Glacial Maximum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This paper compiles and reviews marine and terrestrial data constraining the dimensions and configuration of the Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet (APIS) from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) through deglaciation to the present day.

PISM simulations of idealized shear-margin vs. ice-stream melt

open access: yes, 2022
PISM model output, runs scripts and plotting scripts. The idealized simulations investigate the influence of basal melting in two different ice-shelf regions on the time-dependent response of an isothermal, inherently buttressed ice-sheet-shelf system ...

Switch-off of a major enhanced ice flow unit in East Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) is the largest reservoir of ice on the planet by an order of magnitude. Compared with the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), it is traditionally considered to be relatively stable, with only minor adjustments to its ...

Estimation of ice fabric within Whillans Ice Stream using polarimetric phase-sensitive radar sounding

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 2020
Here we use polarimetric measurements from an Autonomous phase-sensitive Radio-Echo Sounder (ApRES) to investigate ice fabric within Whillans Ice Stream, West Antarctica.

Ice stream behaviour and deglaciation of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet in the Kuittijärvi area, Russian Karelia [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2008
Glacial landforms of the Lake Kuittijärvi area, Russian Karelia, which covers an area of more than 7000 km2 , were studied in detail using aerial photography and satellite imagery methods and on-site field observations.

Emergence of the Shackleton Range from beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet due to glacial erosion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This paper explores the long-term evolution of a subglacial fjord landscape in the Shackleton Range, Antarctica. We propose that prolonged ice-sheet erosion across a passive continental margin caused troughs to deepen and lower the surrounding ice-sheet ...
