Radar-derived bed roughness characterization of Institute and Möller ice streams, West Antarctica, and comparison with Siple Coast ice streams [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Subglacial bed conditions exert a significant control on ice stream behavior and evolution, and can be characterized by determining bed roughness from FFT analysis of radar-imaged basal reflectors. Here we assess bed roughness across Institute and Moller

An ice-sheet scale comparison of eskers with modelled subglacial drainage routes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Eskers record the signature of channelised meltwater drainage during deglaciation providing vital information on the nature and evolution of subglacial drainage.

Airborne radar evidence for tributary flow switching in Institute Ice Stream, West Antarctica: implications for ice sheet configuration and dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Despite the importance of ice streaming to the evaluation of West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) stability we know little about mid- to long-term dynamic changes within the Institute Ice Stream (IIS) catchment.

Speed-up, slowdown, and redirection of ice flow on neighbouring ice streams in the Pope, Smith, and Kohler region of West Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere
The 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

Resource-aware mining of data streams [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Mining data streams has raised a number of research challenges for the data mining community. These challenges include the limitations of computational resources, especially because mining streams of data most likely be done on a mobile device with ...

Modeling Ice Shelf/Ocean Interaction in Antarctica: A Review [PDF]

open access: yesOceanography, 2016
The most rapid loss of ice from the Antarctic Ice Sheet is observed where ice streams flow into the ocean and begin to float, forming the great Antarctic ice shelves that surround much of the continent.

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 ...

Potential subglacial lake locations and meltwater drainage pathways beneath the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We use the Shreve hydraulic potential equation as a simplified approach to investigate potential subglacial lake locations and meltwater drainage pathways beneath the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. We validate the method by demonstrating its ability

Formation of ribbed bedforms below shear margins and lobes of palaeo-ice streams [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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

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.
