Drilling reaches Antarctic subglacial Lake Whillans [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2013 A decade‐long planning effort to drill through 800 meters of ice to directly and cleanly sample the waters and sediments of subglacial Lake Whillans in West Antarctica succeeded at 5:00 A.M. local time on 28 January. The effort “marks the first successful retrieval of clean whole samples from an Antarctic subglacial lake,” according to a 28 January ...

A North Greenland‐wide in situ cosmogenic 14C ice sheet chronology since the Lateglacial
Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 327-339, April 2026.Knowledge of the glacial history of the North Greenland Ice Sheet is crucial due to its high sensitivity to climate change. However, because the ice sheet in this region is predominantly cold‐based, resulting in low erosion rates, using 10Be exposure dating to establish reliable ice sheet chronologies has proven very challenging due to nuclide ...

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 422-442, April 2026.This study examines the distribution and morphology of lakes under the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) to investigate relationships with ice flow velocity, bedrock and basal thermal regime. Palaeo‐ice streams and lobes were important components of the LIS, and properties of lakes in those regions are quantified at high resolution.

Reassessment of mid-Carboniferous glacial extent in southwestern Gondwana (Rio Blanco Basin, Argentina) inferred from paleo-mass transport of diamictites [PDF]
, 2013 Late Paleozoic glacial diamictites occur in many localities in western Argentina, indicating that the region was strongly affected by glaciation during the mid-Carboniferous (late Serpukhovian–early Bashkirian).

Defining Petrophysical Units of the Palmer Deep Sites from Leg 178 [PDF]
, 2002 Palmer Deep, on the inner continental shelf southwest of Anvers Island off the Antarctic Peninsula, is a glacially overdeepened basin consisting of three subbasins. Two sites, 1098 and 1099, were drilled in the Palmer Deep area.
