Tectonically controlled subglacial lakes on the flanks of the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains, East Antarctica [PDF]
, 2006 The morphology of surface lakes strongly influences their ecology and limnology (Wetzel, 2001). This morphology is a result of both the geologic processes that produce topographic basins and the regional climatic and local hydrologic processes that ...

A Ten-Year Record of Supraglacial Lake Evolution and Rapid Drainage in West Greenland Using an Automated Processing Algorithm for Multispectral Imagery [PDF]
, 2013 The rapid drainage of supraglacial lakes introduces large pulses of meltwater to the subglacial environment and creates moulins, surface-to-bed conduits for future melt.

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).

Active subglacial lakes in the Canadian Arctic identified by multi-annual ice elevation changes [PDF]
The CryosphereSubglacial lakes influence glacier hydrology, dynamics, and mass balance; however, they are poorly documented outside the polar ice sheets. Here we use high-resolution digital elevation models during 2011–2021 and regression analysis to characterize ...

Antarctic subglacial lakes drain through sediment-floored canals: theory and model testing on real and idealized domains [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 Over the past decade, satellite observations of ice surface height have revealed that active subglacial lake systems are widespread under the Antarctic Ice Sheet, including the ice streams. For some of these systems, additional observations of ice-stream

Hydrodynamics and hydrogeochemistry of Werenskiold Glacier forefield, SW Spitsbergen [PDF]
Polish Polar Research, 2023 In the 2008 ablation season, subglacial springs discharge, flow rate and profiling of the proglacial river, physical-chemical parameters (pH, temperature, electrical conductivity) and chemical composition (HCO3−, SO42−, Cl−, NO3−, NO2−, PO43−, Ca2+, Mg2+,

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 ...

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
