It has long been known that mountain glaciers and continental ice sheets around the globe
reached their respective maximum extent at different times during the last glacial cycle, often …

The ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica are losing ice at accelerating rates, much of
which is a response to oceanic forcing, especially of the floating ice shelves. Recent …

To understand how planet Earth works we study it increasingly as a system–a collection of
interdependent parts or spheres–the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the cryosphere, the …

We present a new reconstruction of the Antarctic Ice Sheets between 20 ka BP and the
present day. Our reconstruction is derived using a numerical model to generate a physically …

Grounding-zone wedges (GZWs) are asymmetric sedimentary depocentres which form
through the rapid accumulation of glacigenic debris along a line-source at the grounding …

Onshore and offshore studies show that an expanded, grounded ice sheet occupied the
Ross Sea Embayment during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Results from studies of till …

The rate of deglacial ice-sheet retreat across polar continental shelves, and possible ice-
stream collapse and sea-level rise, has been much debated. High-resolution imagery of …

Mega‐scale glacial lineations (MSGLs) are a characteristic landform on ice stream beds.
Solving the puzzle of their formation is key to understanding how ice interacts with its bed …

Studying the history of ice-sheet behaviour in the Ross Sea, Antarctica's largest drainage
basin can improve our understanding of patterns and controls on marine-based ice-sheet …

We review the geomorphological, sedimentological and chronological evidence for palaeo-
ice streams on the continental shelf of Antarctica and use this information to investigate …
