Ice-dammed lakes and rerouting of the drainage of northern Eurasia during the Last Glaciation
During the Quaternary period, ice sheets centred over the Barents and Kara seas expanded
several times onto mainland Russia and blocked northflowing rivers, such as the Yenissei …

Seasonal changes in ice sheet motion due to melt water lubrication
IJ Hewitt - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2013 - Elsevier
A numerical model is used to calculate how the motion of an idealized ice-sheet margin is
affected by the subglacial drainage of melt water from its surface. The model describes the …
