Locating subglacial sediments across West Antarctica with isostatic gravity anomalies [PDF]
, 2007 Subglacial sediments are an important control on fast flowing ice in West Antarctica but their spatial distribution over catchment-wide areas is still largely unknown.

An holistic approach to mapping the Quaternary geology and reconstructing the last glaciation of West County Mayo, Ireland, using satellite remote sensing and 'conventional' mapping techniques [PDF]
, 2002 PhDThe Quaternary geology of West County Mayo, Ireland, has appeared in the literature over 30 times since Close's account in 1867. Various glacial reconstructions have been proposed due to i) the complex sedimentology and morphology of the area, ii ...

Reconstructing ice dynamics in the central sector of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet [PDF]
, 2010 The central sector (NW England and Scottish borders) of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet exhibits a palimpsest glacial geological and geomorphological signature characteristic of multi-phase ice flow and ice-marginal fluctuations. Despite its influential

Topographic and geologic controls on the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream
Annals of GlaciologyThe Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS) is an elongated feature extending ∼600 km into the interior of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Here, we investigate detailed subglacial topography along the length of the NEGIS to ascertain the characteristics of the ...

Modern to glacial age subglacial meltwater drainage at Law Dome, coastal East Antarctica from topography, sediments and jökulhlaup observations [PDF]
, 2017 Rare jökulhlaup events, also known as subglacial lake outburst flood events, have been observed at the Law Dome ice margin and provide an insight into the physical characteristics of subglacial meltwater and drainage.

Subglacial deformation associated with a rigid bed environment, Aberdaron, north Wales. [PDF]
, 1996 At Aberdaron, north Wales, a complex sequence of homogeneous tills and fluvial sediments overlie a hard rock base. The lower diamicton association at the bottom of the sequence consists of deformed tills and lenses of stratified sediments.

Modelling the subglacial hydrology of the former Barents Sea Ice Sheet [PDF]
, 2015 Ice dynamics are strongly controlled by processes taking place at the interface between the ice and the underlying bed. In modern day ice sheets, up to 90% of mass is lost through fast-flowing corridors of ice, called ice streams.

Byrd Ice Core Debris Constrains the Sediment Provenance Signature of Central West Antarctica
Geophysical Research LettersProvenance records from sediments deposited offshore of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) can help identify past major ice retreat, thus constraining ice‐sheet models projecting future sea‐level rise.
