Geophysical constraints on the properties of a subglacial lake in northwest Greenland [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 In this study, we report the results of an active-source seismology and ground-penetrating radar survey performed in northwestern Greenland at a site where the presence of a subglacial lake beneath the accumulation area has previously been proposed. Both

Basal melting over Subglacial Lake Ellsworth and its catchment: insights from englacial layering
Annals of Glaciology, 2020 Deep-water ‘stable’ subglacial lakes likely contain microbial life adapted in isolation to extreme environmental conditions. How water is supplied into a subglacial lake, and how water outflows, is important for understanding these conditions. Isochronal

Determining Ice-Sheet Uplift Surrounding Subglacial Lakes with a Viscous Plate Model
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2017 We develop a viscous model of plate bending suitable for studying ice-sheet flexure due to subglacial lake filling and draining, and apply this model to determine the area of ice-sheet uplift surrounding a subglacial lake.

Subglacial discharge weakens the stability of the Ross Ice Shelf around the grounding line
Polar Research, 2021 In this paper, we examine potential impact of discharge in Subglacial Lake Engelhardt, West Antarctica, on the stability of the Ross Ice Shelf around the grounding line by combining satellite altimetry and remote sensing images.

Detecting and Searching for subglacial lakes through airborne radio-echo sounding in Princess Elizabeth Land (PEL), Antarctica [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 Over 400 subglacial lakes were discovered in Antarctica through radio-echo sounding (RES) method and remote sensing. Subglacial lakes have significance in lubricating ice-bedrock interface and enhancing ice flow.

A revised inventory of Antarctic subglacial lakes [PDF]
, 2005 The locations and details of 145 Antarctic subglacial lakes are presented. The inventory is based on a former catalogue of lake-type features, which has been subsequently reanalysed, and on the results from three additional datasets.

Recoverable autonomous sonde for subglacial lake exploration: electronic control system design
Annals of Glaciology, 2021 Subglacial lake exploration is of great interest to the science community. RECoverable Autonomous Sonde (RECAS) provides an exploration tool to measure and sample subglacial lake environments while the subglacial lake remains isolated from the glacier ...

Glaciohydraulic seismic tremors on an Alpine glacier [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Hydraulic processes impact viscous and brittle ice deformation. Water-driven fracturing as well as turbulent water flow within and beneath glaciers radiate seismic waves which provide insights into otherwise hard-to-access englacial and subglacial ...

Radar sounding survey over Devon Ice Cap indicates the potential for a diverse hypersaline subglacial hydrological environment [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Prior geophysical surveys provided evidence for a hypersaline subglacial lake complex beneath the center of Devon Ice Cap, Canadian Arctic; however, the full extent and characteristics of the hydrological system remained unknown due to limited data ...
