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 ...

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 ...

Teleseismic S‐Wave Coda Autocorrelation and vp/vs ${v}_{p}/{v}_{s}$ Distribution Over the Antarctic Ice Sheet

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Accurate characterization of the compressional to shear (P‐to‐S) wave‐speed ratio (vp/vs ${v}_{p}/{v}_{s}$) within the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is crucial for understanding its internal structure, mechanical stability, and vulnerability to a changing climate.

Subglacial Lake Discharge Affects the Age and Concentration Distribution of Dissolved Organic Carbon in Ross Sea Surface Waters

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 5, August 2026.
Abstract The Ross Sea continental shelf plays a key role in the global carbon cycle. However, the sources and cycling of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the region are poorly understood. Here, we determined the radiocarbon (14C) and stable carbon isotope (13C) contents of DOC in addition to those of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in the Little ...

A Vast Valley Network Beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Mapping subglacial topography along the margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet was revolutionized by reconciling measurements of ice thickness and surface velocity using the principle of mass conservation. Despite evidence that many subglacial valleys resolved by that method extend upstream, it cannot be applied to the ice sheet's slower‐flowing ...

Antarctic subglacial hydrology: application of CryoSat-2 swath altimetry to the study of active subglacial lakes [PDF]

The Antarctic ice sheet is primarily drained by fast-flowing ice streams and glaciers, with water at the ice sheet's base believed to be a crucial factor in maintaining their high velocity through reduced friction.

Evidence of 14 New Subglacial Lakes in the Dome C-Vostok Area [PDF]

, 2003
In the last few years subglacial lakes have been of great interest to the scientific community for various reasons. The lakes could be an unknown extreme habitat, which have been isolated from the terrestrial biosphere for a long time.

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).

Deglaciation of the Burren glacio‐karst, western Ireland, during Termination 1: Implications for North Atlantic climate and karstification

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 702-715, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The Burren uplands in western Ireland form one of the most extensive and best‐preserved examples of glacio‐karst in Europe. Subsumed by the Irish ice sheet during the Late Pleistocene, granite erratic boulders and in situ silica veins in the limestone bedrock provide a rare opportunity to reconstruct the timing and rate of deglaciation ...
