Recent observations of dynamic water systems beneath the Greenland and Antarctic ice
sheets have sparked renewed interest in modelling subglacial drainage. The foundations of …

▪ Abstract Processes operating beneath glaciers can have a greater influence on flow
dynamics than those operating within them. The variety and complexity of these processes …

Glaciers and Glaciation is the classic textbook for all students of glaciation. Stimulating and
accessible, it has established a reputation as a comprehensive and essential resource. In …

Seasonal acceleration of the Greenland Ice Sheet is influenced by the dynamic response of
the subglacial hydrologic system to variability in meltwater delivery to the bed, via crevasses …

The Greenland ice sheet contains enough water to raise sea levels by 7 m. However, its
present mass balance and future contribution to sea level rise is poorly understood …

The worldwide retreat of mountain glaciers has important consequences for the water, food,
and power supply of large and densely populated areas in South and Central Asia …

Viable microbes have been detected beneath several geographically distant glaciers
underlain by different lithologies, but comparisons of their microbial communities have not …

Basal motion of glaciers is responsible for short-term variations in glacier velocity,,,,,. At the
calving fronts of marine-terminating outlet glaciers, accelerated basal motion has led to …

High resolution measurements of ice motion along a∼ 120 km transect in a land‐
terminating section of the GrIS reveal short‐term velocity variations (< 1 day), which are …

Sliding velocity and basal drag are strongly influenced by changes in subglacial water
pressure or subglacial water storage associated with opening and closing of water cavities …
