A seismic analysis of subglacial lake D2 (Subglacial Lake Cheongsuk) beneath David Glacier, Antarctica [PDF]
The CryosphereSubglacial lakes beneath Antarctic glaciers are pivotal in advancing our understanding of cryosphere dynamics, basal hydrology, and microbial ecosystems. We investigate the internal structure and physical properties of Subglacial Lake D2 (SLD2), which is

The "tipping" temperature within Subglacial Lake Ellsworth, West Antarctica and its implications for lake access [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2011 We present results from new geophysical data allowing modelling of the water flow within Subglacial Lake Ellsworth (SLE), West Antarctica. Our simulations indicate that this lake has a novel temperature distribution due to significantly thinner ice than ...

Potential subglacial lake locations and meltwater drainage pathways beneath the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2013 We use the Shreve hydraulic potential equation as a simplified approach to investigate potential subglacial lake locations and meltwater drainage pathways beneath the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. We validate the method by demonstrating its ability

Subglacial lakes and hydrology across the Ellsworth Subglacial Highlands, West Antarctica [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Subglacial water plays an important role in ice sheet dynamics and stability. Subglacial lakes are often located at the onset of ice streams and have been hypothesised to enhance ice flow downstream by lubricating the ice–bed interface.

Improved monitoring of subglacial lake activity in Greenland [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Subglacial lakes form beneath ice sheets and ice caps if water is available and if bedrock and surface topography are able to retain the water. On a regional scale, the lakes modulate the timing and rate of freshwater flow through the subglacial system ...

Assessing the subglacial lake coverage of Antarctica [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 Lakes beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet are known to decrease traction at the ice base and therefore can have a great impact on ice dynamics. However, the total extent of Antarctic subglacial lakes is still unknown.

Physiological Ecology of Microorganisms in Subglacial Lake Whillans. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2016 Subglacial microbial habitats are widespread in glaciated regions of our planet. Some of these environments have been isolated from the atmosphere and from sunlight for many thousands of years. Consequently, ecosystem processes must rely on energy gained from the oxidation of inorganic substrates or detrital organic matter.

Subglacial lake drainage detected beneath the Greenland ice sheet. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2015 The contribution of the Greenland ice sheet to sea-level rise has accelerated in recent decades. Subglacial lake drainage events can induce an ice sheet dynamic response—a process that has been observed in Antarctica, but not yet in Greenland, where the ...
