Mass-conserving subglacial hydrology in the Parallel Ice Sheet Model version 0.6 [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2015
We describe and test a two-horizontal-dimension subglacial hydrology model which combines till with a distributed system of water-filled, linked cavities which open through sliding and close through ice creep.

Thorncliffe Formation: A proglacial to subglacial lacustrine basin sequence, Greater Toronto Region, Canada

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 717-750, July 2026.
Map of Lower sediment (LS) thickness is a surrogate for the distribution of Thorncliffe Formation (TF) and ~75% of TF thickness from the slope of Niagara Escarpment east to Brighton. Inset images show the LS sequence at the Don Valleys brickyards (DVBY) and undeformed TF sand and gravel (~15 m) below Newmarket Till (NT) at sites L and Co.

Revised classification of glaciofluvial landforms in the Finnish sector of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 702-716, July 2026.
Effective and sustainable land use, conservation, and the use of geological resources (incl. raw materials, aggregates and groundwater) require a clear classification system of sedimentary units, with well‐defined vocabulary and unified mapping practices.

Seasonal Ice Dynamics Control the Timing of Crevasse Drainage at a Fast‐Flowing Outlet Glacier

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Crevasse field drainage transfers at least half of the seasonal runoff from the surface to the bed of the Greenland Ice Sheet, but the patterns of drainage are complex and spatio‐temporally heterogenous. To better understand controls on crevasse drainage processes, we use an automated deep learning method to map the seasonal filling and ...

Determining the Character of Subglacial Sediments in the Ice‐Bedrock Interface Zone of Antarctica Using Horizontal‐to‐Vertical Spectral Ratios (HVSRs) of Seismic Ambient Noise

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Interactions between the Antarctic Ice Sheet and the underlying solid Earth occur within the ice‐bedrock interface zone (IBIZ), containing structures of sediments and rocks that strongly influence ice sheet dynamics. Existing insights into the Antarctic IBIZ come primarily from interpretations of airborne geophysical data and active seismic ...

The Decline of a Caldera‐Filling Glacier at Volcán Sollipulli, Chile

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Southern Andean glaciers have undergone fast retreat in recent decades. This results in reduced freshwater storage, contribution to sea‐level rise, and locally to the formation of glacial lakes, that may pose the risk of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs).

Characterizing sub-glacial hydrology using radar simulations [PDF]

The Cryosphere
The structure and distribution of sub-glacial water directly influences Antarctic ice mass loss by reducing or enhancing basal shear stress and accelerating grounding line retreat. A common technique for detecting sub-glacial water involves analyzing the

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

The Influence of Sea Ice and Ice Mélange on Outlet Glacier Dynamics in the Arctic and Antarctic: Recent Progress and Future Challenges

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Sea ice is situated close to the termini of many outlet glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic and has the potential to influence their dynamics and, therefore, their contribution to sea level rise. However, the nature, prevalence, and ice‐dynamic significance of sea ice‐glacier interactions remains subject to several open questions.

Martian Proton Albedo as Signature of Near‐Surface Water

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Understanding the Martian soil water budget is crucial not only for in situ resource utilization in future human missions to Mars, but also for reconstructing the geological and climatic history of the planet, as well as to assess the potential of ancient or even present microbial life.
