Active subglacial lakes and channelized water flow beneath the Kamb Ice Stream [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 We identify two previously unknown subglacial lakes beneath the stagnated trunk of the Kamb Ice Stream (KIS). Rapid fill-drain hydrologic events over several months are inferred from surface height changes measured by CryoSat-2 altimetry and indicate ...

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).

Exploring subglacial Antarctic lake environments [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2005 While subglacial lakes have been suspected, and speculated about, for more than 50 years, recent analyses of historical and new data have shown that liquid water environments are common beneath the vast Antarctic Ice Sheet. Airborne radar surveys have now documented more than 145 subglacial lakes, the largest being Lake Vostok located 4 km beneath 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.

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

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 ...
