Antarctica's subglacial hydrology
2023The components Antarctica's subglacial hydrology -for instance water sources, sinks, flow paths and catchments- are still poorly constrained.  In this work we assess the subglacial hydrology of the continent at high resolution (500m) using (1) water inputs from frictional melting derived with a higher order ice flow model combined with ...

Revisiting subglacial hydrology as an origin for Mars' valley networks
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2021Although the nature of the early Martian climate is a matter of considerable debate, the presence of valley networks (VN) provides unambiguous evidence for the presence of liquid water on Mars’ surface. A subaerial fluvial origin of VN is at odds with the expected phase instability of near-surface water in the cold, dry Late Noachian climate ...

Quaternary Science Reviews, 1997
Abstract The size and shape of subglacial flow pathways exert a strong influence over the pressure and speed at which meltwaters are routed through glaciers. These characteristics, in turn, influence glacier sliding velocity and the quantity and quality of bulk meltwaters discharging from glaciers.

Effect of Near-Terminus Subglacial Hydrology on Tidewater Glacier Submarine Melt Rates [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2015 Submarine melting of Greenlandic tidewater glacier termini is proposed as a possible mechanism driving their recent thinning and retreat. We use a general circulation model, MITgcm, to simulate water circulation driven by subglacial discharge at the ...

Modeling the impact of moulin shape on subglacial hydrology
2022Subglacial models represent moulins as cylinders or cones, but field observations suggest the upper part of moulins in the Greenland Ice Sheet have more complex shapes. These more complex shapes should cause englacial water storage within moulins to vary as a function of depth, a relationship not currently accounted for in models.

Modelling Subglacial Hydrology under Future Climate Scenarios in Wilkes Subglacial Basin, Antarctica
2022<p>The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have differing climates, which makes surface melt a significant hydrological source in Greenland but not currently in Antarctica. Due to changing climate and warming air temperatures, Antarctica is predicted to experience more surface meltwater in the future.

Glacier hydrology and the potential for subglacial karstification
Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift - Norwegian Journal of Geography, 1984Contemporary models of subglacial hydrology identify two quasi-independent hydrologic systems at the bed of temperate alpine glaciers: a dendritic, low pressure conduit network and a more extensive, high pressure regelation film. Observations in Castleguard Cave beneath the Columbia Icefield suggest that this distinction continues into the groundwater ...

Validation of effective subglacial hydrology models
The presence of subglacial lubrication networks at the ice-bed interface is a key component for ice sheet dynamics. A subglacial network has the potential to facilitate rapid ice flow through reduction in basal friction, possibly resulting in the formation of surges and ice streams.Jeremie Schmiedel +3 more

Modeling Subglacial Hydrology in the Himalayas
2023The snowpack and glaciers of the Himalaya-Karakoram range feed several major river systems in Asia which provide water to over a billion people. Glacial retreat, glacial lake outburst flooding (GLOFs), surge behavior, and glacial ice mass balance are all likely strongly affected by subglacial hydrology.
