Annals of Glaciology, 2020 Fast ice flow on the Antarctic continent constitutes much of the mass loss from the ice sheet. However, geophysical methods struggle to constrain ice flow history at depth, or separate the signatures of topography, ice dynamics and basal conditions on ...

Centurial‐millenial ice‐rafted debris pulses from ablating marine ice sheets [PDF]
, 2001 We use an ice‐sheet model to show that (i) margins of marine ice‐sheets can be expected to be frozen to the bed, except where ice‐streams discharge; (ii) 20–50km retreats induced by ablation rates of 2 m/yr provide sufficient debris flux through the ...

Ice-sheet surging and ice-stream formation [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 1996 A simplified model of ice-sheet behaviour is described. It combines the assumptions of rapid ice flow, high viscous activation energy and realistic sediment-based sliding dynamics to form a non-linear diffusion-type equation which can display relaxation oscillations analogous to those of surging glaciers, and which may be relevant to large-scale surges

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study developed a bioprinted co‐culture system embedding rat pancreatic islets and Scenedesmus sp. microalgae spatially defined in close vicinity. Red light was found optimal to ensure microalgal photosynthesis while maintaining islet viability and functionality. A tailored co‐culture medium supported both cell types.

Contrasting the modelled sensitivity of the Amundsen Sea Embayment ice streams
Journal of Glaciology, 2016 Present-day mass loss from the West Antarctic ice sheet is centred on the Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE), primarily through ice streams, including Pine Island, Thwaites and Smith glaciers.

Ice Sheets and Ice Streams: Thoughts on the Cordilleran Ice Sheet Symposium [PDF]
, 1991 This paper comments on preconceptions about what is meant by the terms "Cordilleran Ice Sheet" and "ice stream". Contemporary Antarctic ice streams are described.

Microengineered Gradient Hydrogels for Mechanobiology
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Gradient hydrogels are used to mimic the mechanical heterogeneity in native tissues, offering powerful in vitro platforms to study cell‐material interactions in diverse pathophysiological contexts. Here, we present a comprehensive review of the design and experimental considerations for stiffness gradient hydrogels, discussing exemplary achievements ...

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.

Dynamic behaviour of rutford ice stream [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 1982 The grounding-line region of Rutford Ice Stream was surveyed from the ground during 1978–79 and 1979–80, and from the air in 1980–81. Maps of surface elevation and ice thickness of an area of 1 000 km2allow the grounding line to be delineated and show that the ice stream consists of several distinct fingers of thick ice trending parallel to the flow ...
