A geomorphological overview of glacial landforms on the Icelandic continental shelf [PDF]
, 2009 The availability of a bathymetric database that covers about 80% of the Icelandic shelf has made it possible to produce a geomorphological map of the glacial landforms.

Speed-up, slowdown, and redirection of ice flow on neighbouring ice streams in the Pope, Smith, and Kohler region of West Antarctica [PDF]
The CryosphereThe ice streams feeding the Dotson and Crosson ice shelves are some of the fastest changing in West Antarctica. We use satellite observations to measure the change in ice speed and flow direction on eight ice streams in the Pope, Smith, and Kohler region

Formation of ribbed bedforms below shear margins and lobes of palaeo-ice streams [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Conceptual ice stream land systems derived from geomorphological and sedimentological observations provide constraints on ice–meltwater–till–bedrock interactions on palaeo-ice stream beds. Within these land systems, the spatial distribution and formation

Subglacial sediments: A regional geological template for ice flow in West Antarctica [PDF]
, 2001 We use aerogeophysical data to estimate the distribution of marine subglacial sediments and fault“bounded sedimentary basins beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS).

Significant groundwater contribution to Antarctic ice streams hydrologic budget [PDF]
, 2014 Satellite observations have revealed active hydrologic systems beneath Antarctic ice streams, but sources and sinks of water within these systems are uncertain. Here we use numerical simulations of ice streams to estimate the generation, flux, and budget

A thicker Antarctic ice stream during the mid-Pliocene warm period
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Ice streams regulate most ice mass loss in Antarctica. Determining ice stream response to warmer conditions during the Pliocene could provide insights into their future behaviour, but this is hindered by a poor representation of subglacial topography in ...

Ocean-forced evolution of the Amundsen Sea catchment, West Antarctica, by 2100 [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 The response of ice streams in the Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE) to future climate forcing is highly uncertain. Here we present projections of 21st century response of ASE ice streams to modelled local ocean temperature change using a subset of Coupled ...

Sensitivity of the Ross Ice Shelf to environmental and glaciological controls [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 The Ross Ice Shelf (RIS) is currently stable but recent observations have indicated that basal melt rates beneath the ice shelf are expected to increase.

Range of 21st century ice mass changes in the Filchner-Ronne region of Antarctica
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Increases in ocean temperatures in the Filchner Ronne region of Antarctica are likely to result in increased ice mass loss and sea level rise. We constrain projections of the 21st century sea level contribution of this region using process-based ice ...

, 2021 <div>Ice streams are the arteries through which a large fraction of the ice lost from Antarctica is discharged. With the introduction of "higher order" mechanics, the representation of ice streams in ice sheet models appears to have become more robust, eliminating previously ubiquitous grid effects.
