ABSTRACT The timing and spatial patterns of glaciers retreat in the Northern French Alps during the Lateglacial (19.0–11.7 ka) remain debated, reflecting discrepancies among available chronological data sets. The complex interactions between major glaciers, such as the Rhône and Arve glaciers to the north and the Isère glacier to the south, represent a

This study revisited 158 documented active subglacial lakes across Antarctica, applying a height‐change anomaly delineation algorithm to CryoSat‐2 and ICESat‐2 satellite altimetry data to assemble a 14.75‐year (2010.5–2025.25) time series of active ...

Cascading water underneath Wilkes Land, East Antarctic ice sheet, observed using altimetry and digital elevation models [PDF]
We describe a major subglacial lake drainage close to the ice divide in Wilkes Land, East Antarctica, and the subsequent cascading of water underneath the ice sheet toward the coast.

ABSTRACT The McMurdo Dry Valleys, the largest ice‐free region in Antarctica, are home to a cold‐desert hydrologic system of glaciers, snowbanks, streams, and lakes. Freshwater is also stored as dead glacial ice, which is poorly constrained in terms of ion concentrations and interactions with both in situ and overlying sediments.

A revised inventory of Antarctic subglacial lakes [PDF]
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. The first is from Italian radio-echo sounding (RES) of the Dome C region of East Antarctica, from which 14 new lakes are

ABSTRACT Pingos are large mounds with cores formed of intrusive ice that form in periglacial landscapes. These ice structures can form in regions of discontinuous permafrost, commonly as hydraulic or open‐system pingos, or in locations of continuous permafrost, commonly as hydrostatic or closed‐system pingos.

Simulating jökulhlaups from an ice-marginal lake within a 2D model of subglacial drainage and basal sliding [PDF]
Ice-marginal lakes are an increasingly common feature of glacierised landscapes, and their sudden drainage beneath glaciers (a jökulhlaup) can threaten downstream communities and infrastructure.

The influence of a model subglacial lake on ice dynamics and internal layering [PDF]
As ice flows over a subglacial lake, the drop in bed resistance leads to an increase in ice velocities and a draw down of isochrones and cold ice. The ice surface flattens as it adjusts to the lack of resisting forces at the base. The rapid transition in

Rapid Increase in Geogenic CO2 Emissions from Antarctic Permafrost
Abstract Thawing permafrost can amplify climate change by releasing previously stored carbon, but observations of this feedback come mainly from the Arctic. Ice‐free Antarctic terrains are generally regarded as minor CO2 sources, although sub‐permafrost brines and deep carbon reservoirs may support localized geogenic degassing.

Abstract The Mars 2020 mission has explored depositional environments recorded in a fan‐shaped deposit on the western side of Jezero crater. Kodiak butte is an isolated outcrop of sedimentary rock ∼1 km south of the western fan scarp and may be an erosional remnant of said fan.
