Alpine glacier retreat has increased markedly since the late 1980s and is commonly linked
to the effects of rising temperature on the surface melt. Less considered are processes …

Directly observing glacial drainage systems (englacial and subglacial) is challenging. The
distribution, morphology and internal structure of eskers can provide valuable information …

Unknown basal characteristics limit our ability to simulate the subglacial hydrology of rapidly
melting contemporary ice sheets. Sediment-based landforms generated beneath Late …

Subglacial drainage systems are crucial elements of glaciers and ice sheets because they
modulate ice flow velocity. However, logistical challenges of measuring subglacial …

The article presents the results of morphometric analysis of approximately 300 eskers in
Poland, to the south of the Last Glacial Maximum. The measurements included their length …

Constraining esker characteristics is crucial for understanding subglacial processes and
reconstructing past ice sheet behaviour. This study compares the morphological …

Ice low-switching, which can involve changes in ice flow velocity and direction, is crucial to a
full understanding of ice masses and their response to climate change. A topographically …

Glacial landforms provide a valuable record from which to study the history and dynamics of
past ice sheets. Eskers record paleo subglacial hydrologic and sediment transport …

Eskers are one of the meltwater landforms that enable the reconstruction of the nature of
subglacial drainage systems. Therefore, they play a significant role in the study of palaeo ice …

The dynamics of the last Fennoscandian Ice Sheet (FIS) are relatively well constrained in the
Nordic countries. Ice‐sheet dynamics in NW Russia, however, are comparatively less well …
