Insights into glacial processes from micromorphology of silt-sized sediment [PDF]
The CryosphereSilt-rich meltwater plume deposits (MPDs) analyzed from marine sediment cores have elucidated relationships that are clearly connected, yet difficult to constrain, between subglacial hydrology, ice-marginal landforms, and grounding-zone retreat patterns ...

Impacts of subglacial processes on underlying bedrock [PDF]
, 2019 Historically, the field of glacial geology has put much focus on the processes within the subglacial environment, their effects on unconsolidated sediments and the landforms they produce.

A critical assessment of subglacial mega-floods: a case study of glacial sediments and landforms in south-central Alberta, Canada [PDF]
, 2006 The existing subglacial megaflood explanation of glacial sediment deposition and landform production in south-central Alberta relies upon four sets of observations and associated interpretations: (1) a subglacial genesis for all glacilacustrine sediments

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018 Glaciers expel large amounts of water and sediments, and the discharge of both is influenced by glacier retreat. Because the majority of sediment originates subglacially, as opposed to proglacially, focus must be given to subglacial sediment discharge ...

Iron Transport by Subglacial Meltwater Indicated by δ56Fe in Coastal Sediments of King George Island, Antarctica [PDF]
, 2019 Iron (Fe) fluxes from reducing sediments and subglacial environments potentially contribute to bioavailable Fe in the Southern Ocean. Stable Fe isotopes (δ56Fe) may be used to trace Fe sources and reactions, but data are scarce and Fe cycling in natural ...

Deformation of Subglacial Sediments and its Implications (Abstract only) [PDF]
, 1981 Field experiments have shown that unlithified sediments beneath a glacier may undergo strong shear deformation in response to the movement of the overlying glacier, and that much of the forward movement of the glacier may be contributed by this mechanism.
