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

The BEAMISH hot water drill system and its use on the Rutford Ice Stream, Antarctica
Annals of Glaciology, 2021 During the 2018/19 Antarctic field season, the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) Basal conditions on Rutford Ice Stream: BEd Access, Monitoring and Ice Sheet History’ (BEAMISH) project drilled three holes through the Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica.

Analytical Models of Exoplanetary Atmospheres. IV. Improved Two-stream Radiative Transfer for the Treatment of Aerosols [PDF]
, 2017 We present a novel generalization of the two-stream method of radiative transfer, which allows for the accurate treatment of radiative transfer in the presence of strong infrared scattering by aerosols.

Insights into ice stream dynamics through modelling their response to tidal forcing [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 The tidal forcing of ice streams at their ocean boundary can serve as a natural experiment to gain an insight into their dynamics and constrain the basal sliding law.

Computation of a combined spherical-elastic and viscous-half-space earth model for ice sheet simulation [PDF]
, 2006 This report starts by describing the continuum model used by Lingle & Clark (1985) to approximate the deformation of the earth under changing ice sheet and ocean loads.

The motion of ice stream margins [PDF]
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2013 AbstractThe recent article by Schoof (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 712, 2012, pp. 552–578) provides a technically demanding solution to the problem of determining ice-stream margin evolution. It is important in opening the way to the future theoretical description of how the ice sheets will melt and sea level will rise as the climate warms.

On the pulling power of ice streams [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1992 AbstractGravity wants to pull an ice sheet to the center of the Earth, but cannot because the Earth’s crust is in the way, so ice is pushed out sideways instead. Or is it? The ice sheet “sees” nothing preventing it from spreading out except air, which is much less massive than ice. Therefore, does not ice rush forward to fill this relative vacuum; does

Meltwater generation in ice stream shear margins: case study in Antarctic ice streams
Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2022 Liquid water within glacier ice and at the glacier beds exerts a significant control on ice flow and glacier stability through a number of processes, including altering the rheology of the ice and lubricating the bed. Some of this water is generated as melt in regions of rapid deformation, including shear margins, due to heating by viscous dissipation.
