Subglacial lakes are repositories of ancient climate conditions, provide habitats for life and
modulate ice flow, basal hydrology, biogeochemical fluxes and geomorphic activity. In this …

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

We use the Shreve hydraulic potential equation as a simplified approach to investigate
potential subglacial lake locations and meltwater drainage pathways beneath the Antarctic …

The flow speed of the Greenland Ice Sheet changes dramatically in inland regions when
surface meltwater drains to the bed. But ice-sheet discharge to the ocean is dominated by …

The evolution in number, area and volume of ice-marginal lakes in western Greenland is
very poorly documented or understood. It is important to understand ice-marginal lake …

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 …

Over the past decade, satellite observations of ice surface height have revealed that active
subglacial lake systems are widespread under the Antarctic Ice Sheet, including the ice …

While subglacial hydrology is known to play a role in glacial dynamics on sub-annual to
decadal scales, it remains unclear whether subglacial hydrology plays a critical role in ice …

Supraglacial lakes can drain to the bed of ice sheets, affecting ice dynamics, or over their
surface, relocating surface water. Focusing on surface drainage, we first discuss …

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 …
