Brief communication: Subglacial lake drainage beneath Isunguata Sermia, West Greenland: geomorphic and ice dynamic effects [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 We report three active subglacial lakes within 2 km of the lateral margin of Isunguata Sermia, West Greenland, identified by differencing time-stamped ArcticDEM strips.

Aerogeophysical characterization of an active subglacial lake system in the David Glacier catchment, Antarctica [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 In the 2016–2017 austral summer, the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) and the Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) collaborated to perform a helicopter-based radar and laser altimeter survey of lower David Glacier with the goals of ...

Geology and environments of subglacial Lake Vostok [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2016 The reconstruction of the geological (tectonic) structure and environments of subglacial Lake Vostok is based on geophysical surveys and the study of mineral particles found in cores of accreted ice and frozen lake water (sampled after the lake was unsealed).

Modeling Antarctic subglacial lake filling and drainage cycles [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 The growth and drainage of active subglacial lakes in Antarctica has previously been inferred from analysis of ice surface altimetry data. We use a subglacial hydrology model applied to a synthetic Antarctic ice stream to examine internal controls on the

Physiological Ecology of Microorganisms in Subglacial Lake Whillans [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Subglacial microbial habitats are widespread in glaciated regions of our planet. Some of these environments have been isolated from the atmosphere and from sunlight for many thousands of years. Consequently, ecosystem processes must rely on energy gained from the oxidation of inorganic substrates or detrital organic matter.

Drainage networks, lakes and water fluxes beneath the Antarctic ice sheet
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 Antarctica Bedmap2 datasets are used to calculate subglacial hydraulic potential and the area, depth and volume of hydraulic potential sinks. There are over 32 000 contiguous sinks, which can be thought of as predicted lakes.

The influence of a model subglacial lake on ice dynamics and internal layering [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 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

Deep Clustering in Radar Subglacial Reflector Reveals New Subglacial Lakes
, 2023 Abstract. Ice-penetrating radar (IPR) imaging is a valuable tool for observing the internal structure and bottom of ice sheets. Subglacial water bodies, also known as subglacial lakes, generally appear as distinct, bright, flat, and continuous reflections in IPR images.
