Glacier-erosion rates range across orders of magnitude, and much of this variation cannot
be attributed to basal sliding rates. Subglacial till acts as lubricating 'fault gouge'or 'sawdust' …

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

The freezing temperature of soil is an important index to judge whether it is in a frozen state
or not, and plays a key role in distinguishing salt expansion from frost heave. Freezing …

The principle cause of frost heave is the formation of segregated ice—ice lenses—in
freezing soil columns. Despite much experimental and theoretical work, there remain many …

Subglacial drainage plays an important role in controlling coupling between glacial ice and
underlying bed. Here, we study the flow of water in thin, macroporous sheets between ice …

The field observations of GS Boulton stimulated widespread interest in deformable beds.
Shear resistance of till in its critical state is insensitive to strain rate and increases linearly …

The evolution of glaciers and ice sheets depends on processes in the subglacial
environment. Shear seismicity along the ice–bed interface provides a window into these …

For the simulation of winter hydrological processes a gap in the availability of flow models
existed: one either had the choice between (1) physically‐based and fully‐integrated, but …

Pore water freezing point and unfrozen water content heavily depend on the properties of
ion solutions, ice–liquid interface energy, and pore radius and are essential for analyzing …

Micromorphology of quartz sand grains is used to reconstruct processes occurring in the
glacial environment and to distinguish the latter from other environments. Two processes …
