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 …

Constraining how much and how fast the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) will change in the
coming decades has recently been identified as the highest priority in Antarctic research …

We use updated drainage inventory, ice thickness, and ice velocity data to calculate the
grounding line ice discharge of 176 basins draining the Antarctic Ice Sheet from 1979 to …

Landsat 8, a NASA and USGS collaboration, acquires global moderate-resolution
measurements of the Earth's terrestrial and polar regions in the visible, near-infrared, short …

The stability of ice sheets and their contributions to sea level are modulated by high-
pressure water that lubricates the base of the ice, facilitating rapid flow into the ocean. In …

Subglacial meltwater draining along the bed of fast-flowing, marine-terminating glaciers
emerges at the grounding line, where the ice either goes afloat to form an ice shelf or …

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

Subglacial conditions of large polar ice sheets remain poorly understood, despite recent
advances in satellite observation. Major uncertainties related to basal conditions, such as …

Satellite observations have transformed our understanding of the Antarctic cryosphere. The
continent holds the vast majority of Earth's fresh water, and blankets swathes of the Southern …

Through the detection of surface deformation in response to water movement, recent
satellite studies have demonstrated the existence of subglacial lakes in Antarctica that fill …
