Subglacial Lakes and Their Changing Role in a Warming Climate [PDF]
Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, 2022 Subglacial lakes are repositories of ancient climate conditions, provide habitats for life and modulate ice flow, basal hydrology, biogeochemical fluxes and geomorphic activity. In this Review, we construct the first global inventory of subglacial lakes (

Theoretical Framework and Diagnostic Criteria for the Identification of Palaeo-Subglacial Lakes [PDF]
Quaternary Science Reviews, 2012 The Antarctic Ice Sheet is underlain by numerous subglacial lakes, which comprise a significant and active component of its hydrological network. These lakes are widespread and occur at a range of scales under a variety of conditions.

Rapid Discharge Connects Antarctic Subglacial Lakes
Nature, 2006The existence of many subglacial lakes provides clear evidence for the widespread presence of water beneath the East Antarctic ice sheet, but the hydrology beneath this ice mass is poorly understood. Such knowledge is critical to understanding ice flow, basal water transfer to the ice margin, glacial landform development and subglacial lake habitats ...

Cascades of subglacial lakes in Antarctica
Doklady Earth Sciences, 2012Progress in understanding cascades of subglacial lakes in Antarctica and in the dynamics of their surface was derived using satellite laser altimetry measurements ICESat. The morphological and dynamical signs indicate subglacial lakes and the positions of their shore lines. Oscillations of surfaces in transition zones are periodic, while the changes in

The Physiography of Modern Antarctic Subglacial Lakes
Global and Planetary Change, 2003The size and distribution of Antarctic subglacial lakes have been investigated using airborne radio-echo sounding (RES) and satellite radar altimetry. Over 70 lakes have been identified beneath the ice sheet from distinctive, mirror-like reflectors observed on RES records.

Deep Clustering in Subglacial Reflections Reveals New Insight into Subglacial Lakes
2023Radar images imply subglacial features, including distinct reflections from ice bottom. Different from bedrock interfaces, subglacial lakes generally display smooth and continuous highlights as a special type of ice bottom reflectors in radar images. In this study, we construct a dataset of ice bottom reflectors based on CReSIS radar sounder dataset. A

A fourth inventory of Antarctic subglacial lakes
Antarctic Science, 2012Abstract Antarctic subglacial lakes are studied for three main scientific reasons. First, they form an important component of the basal hydrological system which is known to affect the dynamics of the ice sheet. Second, they are amongst the most extreme viable habitats on Earth and third, if sediments exist on their floors, they may ...

The ice topography over subglacial lakes
Cold Regions Science and Technology, 1990Abstract A model is developed which relates the ice-surface topography above subglacial lakes to the length l of bed transition regions bordering the lake where the effect of the presence of the lake causes a reduction in basal shear stress. The model is applied to four representative regions of an ice sheet.
