Ocean tide influences on the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets
Ocean tides are the main source of high‐frequency variability in the vertical and horizontal
motion of ice sheets near their marine margins. Floating ice shelves, which occupy about …

Progress in numerical modeling of Antarctic ice-sheet dynamics
Numerical modeling of the Antarctic ice sheet has gone through a paradigm shift over the
last decade. While initially models focussed on long-time diffusive response to surface mass …

Highly variable friction and slip observed at Antarctic ice stream bed
The slip of glaciers over the underlying bed is the dominant mechanism governing the
migration of ice from land into the oceans, with accelerating slip contributing to sea-level …

Assimilation of surface velocities acquired between 1996 and 2010 to constrain the form of the basal friction law under Pine Island Glacier
F Gillet‐Chaulet, G Durand… - Geophysical …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
In ice‐sheet models, slip conditions at the base between the ice and the bed are
parameterized by a friction law. The most common relation has two poorly constrained …

Shear dilation of subglacial till results in time-dependent sliding laws
The dynamics of glacial sliding over water-saturated tills are poorly constrained and difficult
to capture realistically in large-scale models. Experiments characterize till as a plastic …

Tidally induced variations in vertical and horizontal motion on Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica, inferred from remotely sensed observations
To better understand the influence of stress changes over floating ice shelves on grounded
ice streams, we develop a Bayesian method for inferring time‐dependent 3‐D surface …

Not all icequakes are created equal: Basal icequakes suggest diverse bed deformation mechanisms at Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica
SK Kufner, AM Brisbourne, AM Smith… - Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Microseismicity, induced by the sliding of a glacier over its bed, can be used to characterize
frictional properties of the ice‐bed interface, which are a key parameter controlling ice …

A decade of progress in observing and modelling Antarctic subglacial water systems
In the decade since the discovery of active Antarctic subglacial water systems by detection of
subtle surface displacements, much progress has been made in our understanding of these …

Two-way coupling between ice flow and channelized subglacial drainage enhances modeled marine-ice-sheet retreat
Ice-sheet models used to predict sea-level rise often neglect subglacial hydrology. However,
theory and observations suggest that ice flow and subglacial water flow are bidirectionally …

Tidal grounding‐line migration modulated by subglacial hydrology
We present a mathematical model of the hydrology of grounding‐line migration on tidal
timescales, in which the ice acts elastically, overlying a connected hydrological network, with …
