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

open access: yesBoreas, 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.

Antarctic subglacial lakes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Over 400 lakes exist beneath the Antarctic ice sheet. They range from giant stable lakes at the centre of the ice sheet, isolated from the atmosphere for millions of years, to small through-flow pockets of water beneath fast-flowing ice streams ...

Lodge moraines: a common yet underreported end‐moraine type—a review

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Lodge moraines are a distinct genetic type of end moraine formed by submarginal accretion of subglacial till; they are some of the largest end moraines in the world. Although underreported in the literature, they are of equal importance to push, dump and hummocky end moraines. End moraines are formed at glacier ice margins and show the extent of former

Deep Clustering in Radar Subglacial Reflector Reveals New Subglacial Lakes

open access: yes, 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.

Dispersal, source and glass chemistry of a third tephra unit within Iceland's Settlement Layer

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Tephra layers may be studied to understand the dynamics and sequence of past explosive volcanism. In Iceland, the distinctive Settlement Layer (AD ~877) underlies almost all archaeological evidence for the Norse Settlement and is preserved in soils across Iceland and as cryptotephra overseas.

Truncated drumlins and their implication for past sea level reconstructions

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Coastal erosion of glacigenic sediments, particularly in the form of retreating drumlin bluffs, is a key process in paraglacial landscape evolution during periods of relative sea‐level (RSL) rise. As marine transgression reworks formerly subaerial glacial terrains, drumlins act as discrete sediment sources generating characteristic erosional and ...

A simplified mechanical model for explaining fast-rising jökulhlaups

open access: yesApplications in Engineering Science, 2020
The paper describes a simplified mathematical model aimed at fitting available hydrographs of floods from subglacial lakes reaching their peak almost linearly in time, the so-called fast-risingjökulhlaups.

Potential Warming‐Induced Changes in Stream Water Sources Between Proglacial and Non‐Glacial Streams, South‐Central Alaska

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
Land cover and elevation are shown to influence the proportion of stream source waters across glacial and non‐glacial streams. Groundwater makes up a large proportion of both early season and late season flow in most glacial and non‐glacial streams, while the timing of snow and ice melt is driven by the presence or absence of a glacier within the ...

Models of ice melting and edifice growth during subglacial basaltic eruptions. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Models of the early stages of basaltic eruptions beneath temperate glaciers are presented that consider the evolving sizes of volcanic edifices emplaced within subglacial cavities.

Is Vostok lake in steady state? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Stable-isotope (D and 18O) data from the Vostok (East Antarctica) ice core are used to explore whether or not subglacial Vostok lake is in isotopic steady state. A simple box model shows that the lake is likely to be in steady state on time-scales of the
