Reconstructing ice-sheet accumulation rates at ridge B, East Antarctica [PDF]
Understanding how ice sheets responded to past climate change is fundamental to forecasting how they will respond in the future. Numerical models calculating the evolution of ice sheets depend upon accumulation data, which are principally available from ...

Putative Analogs of Pyrite Suns Forming in Proglacial Alaska Mudflats
Abstract Disc‐shaped pyrite suns of the Pennsylvanian age Anna Shale are thought to have formed where pressure restricted pyrite crystal growth to a flattened disc shape during diagenesis at the Anna Shale and the underlying Herrin coal boundary.

Repeated subglacial jökulhlaups in northeastern Greenland revealed by CryoSat
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 ~

Evolution of drainage system morphology at a land-terminating Greenland outlet glacier [PDF]
This work was funded by the UK Natural Environment Research Council (through grants to Nienow, Mair, and Wadham, and a studentship to Bartholomew), the Edinburgh University Moss Centenary Scholarship (Cowton and Bartholomew), and a Carnegie Research ...

Discharge simulated using the physics‐based, spatially distributed hydrological modelling approach varies during the overlapping period across different simulation lengths, attributed to model initialization and inability of state updating. ABSTRACT Hydrological simulations are crucial for understanding water resource changes and developing climate ...

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 ...

Glare, a GIS tool to reconstruct the 3D surface of palaeoglaciers [PDF]
Acknowledgements This research has been supported by the Leverhulme Trust International Network Grant IN-2012-140. Processing and collecting of ground penetrating data in Forgefonna was part of Elend Førre's master's project that was completed in 2009 at

ABSTRACT We document the early decay of the Late‐Pleistocene Cordilleran Ice Sheet in the central portion of the Rocky and Cariboo Mountains and the Rocky Mountain Trench in east‐central British Columbia. Glacial lakes impounded at the eastern margin of the ice sheet occupied watersheds on the west flank of the central Rocky Mountains, leaving ...

Abstract Surface meltwater impacts Greenland Ice Sheet mass balance indirectly by reducing albedo and promoting hydrofracture. However, fully understanding both processes requires accurate mapping of small‐scale features such as ponds, channels, and moulins that govern meltwater formation and drainage. Here we investigate surface water dynamics at high

Abstract We show the development of an innovative Internet of Things Real Time Kinematic Global Navigation Satellite System, to study the short‐term changes in surface velocity of two adjacent Icelandic glaciers, in order to understand the response of glaciers to climate change.
