The distribution of basal motion beneath a High Arctic polythermal glacier [PDF]

, 2003
The longitudinal pattern of surface velocity of a large, predominantly colds polythermal glacier (John Evans Glacier, Ellesmere Island, Canada) was measured over summer and winter periods.

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.

Ice sheets as a significant source of highly reactive nanoparticulate iron to the oceans [PDF]

, 2014
The Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets cover ~\n10% of global land surface, but are rarely considered as active components of the global iron cycle. The ocean waters around both ice sheets harbour highly productive coastal ecosystems, many of which are ...

Linking bedrock discontinuities to glacial quarrying

Annals of Glaciology, 2019
Quarrying and abrasion are the two principal processes responsible for glacial erosion of bedrock. The morphologies of glacier hard beds depend on the relative effectiveness of these two processes, as abrasion tends to smooth bedrock surfaces and ...

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

Boreas, 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

Influence of increasing surface melt over decadal timescales on land-terminating Greenland-type outlet glaciers

Journal of Glaciology, 2018
Over recent decades, Greenland ice sheet surface melt has shown an increase both in intensity and spatial extent. Part of this water probably reaches the bed and can enhance glacier speed, advecting a larger volume of ice into the ablation area.

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

Hydrological 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 ...

Experimental constraints on subglacial rock friction

Annals of Glaciology, 2019
Subglacial rock friction is an important control on the sliding dynamics and erosive potential of hard-bedded glaciers, yet it remains largely unconstrained.

The Devil Lake pothole (Ontario): Evidence of subglacial fluvial processes [PDF]

Géographie physique et Quaternaire, 2002
A pothole 1.93 m deep and 1.3 m maximum diameter is located near the crest of a ridge that forms one arm of an eroded anticline in para-gneiss of the Precambrian Shield in southeastern Ontario. It's position on high ground in a region of more than 100 m relief on the bed rock precludes its formation by modern subaerial stream flow or by streams that ...

Modelling Future Evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet With Explainable Machine Learning

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
The accelerating effects of climate change, particularly rising sea levels resulting from melting land ice, require accurate predictions of ice sheet dynamics. Traditional numerical models, such as the Parallel Ice Sheet Model (PISM), are widely used; however, they rely on simplifying assumptions and are computationally intensive, limiting their ...
