Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Reconstructing subglacial lake activity with an altimetry-based inverse method

Journal of Glaciology, 2023
Subglacial lake water-volume changes produce ice-elevation anomalies that provide clues about water flow beneath glaciers and ice sheets. Significant challenges remain in the quantitative interpretation of these elevation-change anomalies because the ...

Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.

Thirteen years of subglacial lake activity in Antarctica from multi-mission satellite altimetry

Annals of Glaciology, 2018
The ability to detect the surface expression of moving water beneath the Antarctic ice sheet by satellite has revealed a dynamic basal environment, with implications for regional ice dynamics, grounding-line stability, and fluxes of freshwater and ...

Seasonal Ice Dynamics Control the Timing of Crevasse Drainage at a Fast‐Flowing Outlet Glacier

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Crevasse field drainage transfers at least half of the seasonal runoff from the surface to the bed of the Greenland Ice Sheet, but the patterns of drainage are complex and spatio‐temporally heterogenous. To better understand controls on crevasse drainage processes, we use an automated deep learning method to map the seasonal filling and ...

Determining the Character of Subglacial Sediments in the Ice‐Bedrock Interface Zone of Antarctica Using Horizontal‐to‐Vertical Spectral Ratios (HVSRs) of Seismic Ambient Noise

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Interactions between the Antarctic Ice Sheet and the underlying solid Earth occur within the ice‐bedrock interface zone (IBIZ), containing structures of sediments and rocks that strongly influence ice sheet dynamics. Existing insights into the Antarctic IBIZ come primarily from interpretations of airborne geophysical data and active seismic ...

Assessment of glacier lakes development potential in the Central Caucasus

Лëд и снег, 2020
Glacier mass loss and consequent terminus retreat lead to formation and growth of glacier lakes. In Caucasus outbursts of glacial lakes formed in recent decades have led to human casualties and significant damage. In this study the location and volume of

Boundary conditions of an active West Antarctic subglacial lake: implications for storage of water beneath the ice sheet [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2014
Repeat-pass ICESat altimetry has revealed 124 discrete surface height changes across the Antarctic Ice Sheet, interpreted to be caused by subglacial lake discharges (surface lowering) and inputs (surface uplift).

Alteration of Feldspar‐Rich Rocks on Ancient Mars and Its Possible Link to Ca/Fe‐Rich Carbonates

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Feldspar‐rich rocks have increasingly been discovered on the martian surface. They may have been an important part of the ancient martian crust and may be related to Ca/Fe‐rich carbonates (one of two types of carbonates on Mars and the other being Mg‐rich carbonates), but compared to mafic rocks, their interaction with water on ancient Mars is

The Decline of a Caldera‐Filling Glacier at Volcán Sollipulli, Chile

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Southern Andean glaciers have undergone fast retreat in recent decades. This results in reduced freshwater storage, contribution to sea‐level rise, and locally to the formation of glacial lakes, that may pose the risk of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs).
