Teleseismic S‐Wave Coda Autocorrelation and vp/vs ${v}_{p}/{v}_{s}$ Distribution Over the Antarctic Ice Sheet

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Accurate characterization of the compressional to shear (P‐to‐S) wave‐speed ratio (vp/vs ${v}_{p}/{v}_{s}$) within the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is crucial for understanding its internal structure, mechanical stability, and vulnerability to a changing climate.

Greenland subglacial lakes detected by radar [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2013
AbstractSubglacial lakes are an established and important component of the basal hydrological system of the Antarctic ice sheets, but none have been reported from Greenland. Here we present airborne radio echo sounder (RES) measurements that provide the first clear evidence for the existence of subglacial lakes in Greenland.

Repeated subglacial jökulhlaups in northeastern Greenland revealed by CryoSat

Journal of Glaciology
Surface height changes above three previously undetected subglacial lakes in northeastern Greenland are documented using CryoSat, DEMs and ICESat-2. Between 7 February and 6 March 2012, the central ice region (22.6 km2) above the largest lake dropped by ~

Subglacial Lake Discharge Affects the Age and Concentration Distribution of Dissolved Organic Carbon in Ross Sea Surface Waters

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 5, August 2026.
Abstract The Ross Sea continental shelf plays a key role in the global carbon cycle. However, the sources and cycling of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the region are poorly understood. Here, we determined the radiocarbon (14C) and stable carbon isotope (13C) contents of DOC in addition to those of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in the Little ...

Holocene hydrological evolution of subglacial Lake Snow Eagle, East Antarctica, implied by englacial radiostratigraphy

Journal of Glaciology
A major subglacial lake, Lake Snow Eagle (LSE), was identified in East Antarctica by airborne geophysical surveys. LSE, contained within a subglacial canyon, likely hosts a valuable sediment record of the geological and glaciological changes of interior ...

A Vast Valley Network Beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Mapping subglacial topography along the margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet was revolutionized by reconciling measurements of ice thickness and surface velocity using the principle of mass conservation. Despite evidence that many subglacial valleys resolved by that method extend upstream, it cannot be applied to the ice sheet's slower‐flowing ...

Deglaciation of the Burren glacio‐karst, western Ireland, during Termination 1: Implications for North Atlantic climate and karstification

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 702-715, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The Burren uplands in western Ireland form one of the most extensive and best‐preserved examples of glacio‐karst in Europe. Subsumed by the Irish ice sheet during the Late Pleistocene, granite erratic boulders and in situ silica veins in the limestone bedrock provide a rare opportunity to reconstruct the timing and rate of deglaciation ...

The Glacial Legacy of the Geneva Basin: Morphology and implications of an intricate tunnel valley system revealed from 3D seismic data

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 732-753, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Like other perialpine basins and glaciated margins, the Geneva Basin in SW Switzerland is characterised by buried tunnel valleys, which are elongated incisions widely attributed to subglacial meltwater erosion beneath continental ice sheets. However, an inclusive understanding of the geological control on the evolution of the glacial landscape

The Impact of Subglacial Drainage System Evolution and Glacier Lake Outburst on Arctic Fjord Macronutrient Dynamics

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Global warming is amplified in the Arctic, accelerating glacier melt and freshwater runoff. At tidewater glaciers, runoff typically enters fjords at depth and generates buoyancy‐driven circulation that enhances glacier‐ocean exchanges of energy and matter, influencing macronutrient delivery and marine primary production.

Modeling oscillations in connected glacial lakes

Journal of Glaciology, 2019
Mountain glaciers and ice sheets often host marginal and subglacial lakes that are hydraulically connected through subglacial drainage systems. These lakes exhibit complex dynamics that have been the subject of models for decades.
