Subglacial seismicity presents the opportunity to monitor inaccessible glacial beds at the epicentral location and time. Glaciers can be underlain by rock or till, a first order control on bed mechanics.

Modeling saline-fluid flow through subglacial channels [PDF]
Subglacial hydrological systems impact ice dynamics, biological environments, and sediment transport. Previous numerical models of channelized subglacial flow have focused on freshwater in temperate ice without considering variable fluid chemistry and ...

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.

Microbiology: lessons from a first attempt at Lake Ellsworth
During the attempt to directly access, measure and sample Subglacial Lake Ellsworth in 2012–2013, we conducted microbiological analyses of the drilling equipment, scientific instrumentation, field camp and natural surroundings.

Reactivation of a Subglacial Channel Around the Grounding Zone of Roi Baudouin Ice Shelf, Antarctica
Subglacial water beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet is often funneled via subglacial channels, which inject freshwater into ice‐shelf cavities where it interacts with ocean water.

Meteoric 10Be as a tracer of subglacial processes and interglacial surface exposure in Greenland [PDF]
Abstract In order to test whether sediment emerging from presently glaciated areas of Greenland was exposed near or at Earth's surface during previous interglacial periods, we measured the rare isotope 10Be contained in grain coatings of sediment collected at five ice marginal sites. Such grain coatings contain meteoric 10Be (10Bemet), which forms in

Coarse Sediment Transport in a Near‐Terminus Subglacial Channel
Abstract We present the first large‐sample, spatially resolved measurements of coarse sediment transport within a subglacial meltwater channel. We released 324 radio‐tagged pebbles into a near‐terminus channel of Glacier d’Otemma, Switzerland, and monitored their positions through 10–50 m of ice during the mid to late melt season.

Quantifying subglacial roughness and its link to glacial geomorphology and ice speed [PDF]
The shape of subglacial bed topography, termed its roughness, is a recognised control on basal ice-flow. Although glaciologists have observed patterns of variations in ice speed over beds with different roughness values, the strength of this relationship

Warm Surface Waters Dominate Melting of the Denman‐Shackleton Ice Shelf System
Abstract The ocean dynamics controlling the melting of the Denman‐Shackleton ice shelf system are investigated using a high‐resolution regional ocean‐sea ice‐ice shelf model. Our results show that basal meltwater production exhibits strong seasonal variability, driven by the ocean heat supply toward the ice shelf system, and occurs through two distinct
