Dispersal, source and glass chemistry of a third tephra unit within Iceland's Settlement Layer
Tephra layers may be studied to understand the dynamics and sequence of past explosive volcanism. In Iceland, the distinctive Settlement Layer (AD ~877) underlies almost all archaeological evidence for the Norse Settlement and is preserved in soils across Iceland and as cryptotephra overseas.

Reconstructing the glacial history of Upgang, North Yorkshire: a North Sea ice lobe readvance during the termination of the last glacial maximum? [PDF]
Around Great Britain at the end of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) there is evidence for a number of glacial readvances, specifically in the Irish Sea Basin and Eastern Scotland.

Microbial nitrogen cycling on the Greenland Ice Sheet [PDF]
Nitrogen inputs and microbial nitrogen cycling were investigated along a 79 km transect into the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) during the main ablation season in summer 2010. The depletion of dissolved nitrate and production of ammonium (relative to icemelt)

Is erosion by deforming subglacial sediments significant? (Toward till continuity) [PDF]
A glacier moving by deformation of subglacial sediments will tend to exhaust its own sediment supply, unless new sediment is generated subglacially. We explore the potential for deforming sediments to overcome this difficulty and replenish themselves by ...

Abstract. A quantitative understanding of how sediment discharge from subglacial fluvial systems varies in response to glaciohydrological conditions is essential for understanding marine systems around Greenland and Antarctica and for interpreting sedimentary records of cryosphere evolution.

Potential Activity of Subglacial Microbiota Transported to Anoxic River Delta Sediments [PDF]
The Watson River drains a portion of the SW Greenland ice sheet, transporting microbial communities from subglacial environments to a delta at the head of Søndre Strømfjord. This study investigates the potential activity and community shifts of glacial microbiota deposited and buried under layers of sediments within the river delta.

An examination of the Geochemical properties of late devensian glacigenic sediments in Eastern England [PDF]
Onshore advance of the North Sea lobe of the Late Devensian British Ice Sheet the last glaciation resulted in the deposition of thick multiple till sequences along the coasts of east Yorkshire and north Lincolnshire.

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 ...

Abstract Accurate characterization of the compressional to shear (P‐to‐S) wave‐speed ratio (vp/vs ${v}_{p}/{v}_{s}$) within the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is crucial for understanding its internal structure, mechanical stability, and vulnerability to a changing climate.
