Subglacial Processes at Bondhusbreen, Norway: Preliminary Results [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 1983 Subglacial hydrology, sediment transport, pressure, and temperature have been studied beneath approximately 160 m of ice at Sondhusbreen, an outlet glacier from Folgefonni in south-western Norway.The volume of the mean annual water discharge passing through the study area is about 60x106m3.

Filling and drainage of a subglacial lake beneath the Flade Isblink ice cap, northeast Greenland [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 The generation, transport, storage and drainage of meltwater play important roles in the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) subglacial system. Active subglacial lakes, common features in Antarctica, have recently been detected beneath the GrIS and may impact ice

Debris-bed friction during glacier sliding with ice–bed separation
Annals of Glaciology, 2019 Theory and experiments indicate that ice–bed separation during glacier slip over 2-D hard beds causes basal shear stress to reach a maximum at a particular slip velocity and decrease at higher velocities.

Anomalous luminescence of subglacial sediment at Haut glacier d'Arolla, Switzerland - a consequence of resetting at the glacier bed? [PDF]
, 2010 <p>Luminescence has the potential to elucidate glacial geomorphic processes because primary glacial sediment sources and transport pathways are associated with contrasting degrees of exposure to light.

Subglacial lake activity beneath the ablation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Hydrologically active subglacial lakes can drain large volumes of water and sediment along subglacial pathways, affecting the motion and mass balance of ice masses and impacting downstream sediment dynamics.

Bed-type variability and till (dis)continuity beneath Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica
Annals of Glaciology, 2019 Recent seismic measurements from upper Thwaites Glacier indicate that the bed-type variability is closely related to the along-flow basal topography. In high-relief subglacial highlands, stoss sides of topographic highs have a relatively higher acoustic ...
