The distribution and evolution of Antarctic surface meltwater [PDF]
, 2023 Mass losses from the Antarctic Ice Sheet are the largest uncertainty in predicting sea level rise. The role of surface meltwater in determining Antarctic sea level contribution is poorly understood, despite its potential to impact ice sheet mass balance ...

Ice‐Marginal Proglacial Lakes Across Greenland: Present Status and a Possible Future
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Ice‐marginal lakes can affect glacier dynamics but are ignored in studies of the evolution of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) and of peripheral mountain glaciers and ice caps (PGICs).

Short-term variability in Greenland Ice Sheet motion forced by time-varying meltwater inputs: implications for the relationship between subglacial drainage system behavior and ice velocity. [PDF]
, 2012 High resolution measurements of ice motion along a 120 km transect in a land-terminating section of the GrIS reveal short-term velocity variations (<1 day), which are forced by rapid variations in meltwater input to the subglacial drainage system from

Deglacial Land-Ocean Linkages at the Alaskan Continental Margin in the Bering Sea
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 A marine sediment record from the central Bering Sea, spanning the last 20 thousand years (ka), was studied to unravel the depositional history with regard to terrigenous sediment supply and biogenic sedimentation.

Contributions of Greenland and Antarctica to Global and Regional Sea Level Change [PDF]
Oceanography, 2016 While it is well known that the accelerating melting of the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica will increasingly raise global mean sea levels, it is less widely understood how the addition of meltwater from these ice sheets will affect regional ...

Supraglacial Lake Evolution over Northeast Greenland Using Deep Learning Methods
Remote Sensing, 2023 Supraglacial lakes in Greenland are highly dynamic hydrological features in which glacial meltwater cumulates, allowing for the loss and transport of freshwater from a glacial surface to the ocean or a nearby waterbody.

Ice Shelf Water Structure Beneath the Larsen C Ice Shelf in Antarctica
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Understanding ice shelf water (ISW) structure is crucial for studying the basal melting of ice shelves. In this study, we performed large‐eddy simulation experiments to assess ISW structure and basal melt patterns under different current velocity ...

Lithium Isotope Geochemistry in the Barton Peninsula, King George Island, Antarctica
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Lithium (Li) has two stable isotopes, 6Li and 7Li, whose large relative mass difference is responsible for significant isotopic fractionation during physico-chemical processes, allowing Li isotopes to be a good tracer of continental chemical weathering ...
