Updating thermal head of RECoverable Autonomous Sonde (RECAS) for better drilling performance in Qilin Subglacial Lake exploration [PDF]
Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data SystemsThere are numerous subglacial lakes in Antarctica, typically covered by thick ice sheets. Qilin Subglacial Lake is one of the largest subglacial lakes in Antarctica, lying beneath approximately 3600 m of ice. The exploration of this unique environment is

Salinity impact on water flow and lake ice in Lake Vostok, Antarctica [PDF]
, 2003 Lake Vostok, isolated from direct exchange with the atmosphere for million years, provides a unique and so far inaccessible habitat. By using a numerical model, and recent lake geometry information, the lake circulation was investigated for different ...

Incorporation of particulates into accreted ice above subglacial Vostok lake, Antarctica [PDF]
, 2005 The nature of microscopic particulates in meteoric and accreted ice from the Vostok (Antarctica) ice core is assessed in conjunction with existing ice-core data to investigate the mechanism by which particulates are incorporated into refrozen lake water.

Short-term variability in Greenland Ice Sheet motion forced by time-varying meltwater inputs: implications for the relationship between subglacial drainage system behavior and ice velocity. [PDF]
, 2012 High resolution measurements of ice motion along a 120 km transect in a land-terminating section of the GrIS reveal short-term velocity variations (<1 day), which are forced by rapid variations in meltwater input to the subglacial drainage system from

Analysis of long-term dynamic changes of subglacial lakes in the Recovery Ice Stream, Antarctica [PDF]
The CryosphereThe dynamic activity of subglacial lakes plays a crucial role in modulating glacial processes and the mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet. The Recovery Ice Stream (RIS), projected to experience significant mass loss in East Antarctica during coming ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT An understanding of the terrestrial extent, retreat dynamics and climate–glacier coupling of ice masses during the Last Glacial Termination (LGT, ~18–11 ka) is often limited by a fragmentary geomorphological record and is dependent on precise, accurate and robust dating frameworks.
