Governance of the Exploration of Subglacial Antarctica

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2018
Subglacial lakes, and their surrounding aqueous environments, are known to be viable yet extreme habitats for microbial life that may hold records of climate change spanning hundreds of thousands of years. Since the detection of Lake Vostok in 1996 plans

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

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 964-992, October 2026.
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 ...

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

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 906-931, October 2026.
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

Repeated subglacial jökulhlaups in northeastern Greenland revealed by CryoSat

Journal of Glaciology
Surface height changes above three previously undetected subglacial lakes in northeastern Greenland are documented using CryoSat, DEMs and ICESat-2. Between 7 February and 6 March 2012, the central ice region (22.6 km2) above the largest lake dropped by ~

Evidence for a palaeo-subglacial lake on the Antarctic continental shelf

Nature Communications, 2017
While a number of subglacial lakes have been discovered beneath the modern Antarctic ice sheet, little is known regarding their prevalence during past glaciations. Here, Kuhnet al. present sedimentological evidence for an active palaeo-subglacial lake in

Seismic ground vibrations give advanced early-warning of subglacial floods

Nature Communications, 2020
Subglacial lakes and jökulhlaups (glacier outburst floods) are common in volcanic and glaciated environments, and can pose potential threats to communities living downstream. Here, the authors find that seismic tremor signals during subglacial floods can

Entrained Water in Basal Ice Suppresses Radar Bed‐Echo Power at Active Subglacial Lakes

Geophysical Research Letters
Subglacial lakes have been mapped across Antarctica with two methods, radio‐echo sounding (RES) and ice‐surface deformation. At sites where both are coincident, these methods typically provide conflicting interpretations about the ice‐bed interface. With

Evidence for Possible New Subglacial Lakes along a Radar Transect Crossing the Belgica Highlands and the Concordia Trench

, 2008
Subglacial lakes are of great interest to the scientific community, and about 190 lakes have been identified in Antarctica and catalogued (Siegert et al., 2005; Cafarella et al., 2006; Popov & Masolov, 2007).

A seismic analysis of subglacial lake D2 (Subglacial Lake Cheongsuk) beneath David Glacier, Antarctica

The Cryosphere
Subglacial lakes beneath Antarctic glaciers are pivotal in advancing our understanding of cryosphere dynamics, basal hydrology, and microbial ecosystems. We investigate the internal structure and physical properties of Subglacial Lake D2 (SLD2), which is located beneath David Glacier in East Antarctica, using seismic data acquired during the 2021/22 ...

Dynamic subglacial meltwater history archived in Antarctic subglacial lake sediments

Geological Society of America Bulletin
Abstract There is a paucity of records on decadal to millennial scales archiving the evolution of the Antarctic subglacial hydrologic system, leaving a gap in our knowledge of the links between meltwater drainage and ice behavior. We employed a suite of sedimentological and geochemical methods to assess the stratigraphic distribution of ...
