Glaciers and Glaciation is the classic textbook for all students of glaciation. Stimulating and
accessible, it has established a reputation as a comprehensive and essential resource. In …

Locally grounded features in ice shelves, called ice rises and rumples, play a key role
buttressing discharge from the Antarctic Ice Sheet and regulating its contribution to sea level …

Closed topographic basins are found beneath contemporary ice masses and within the
footprint of former ice masses in all glaciated regions. We present the first integrated review …

Recent observations show that the rate at which the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) is contributing
to sea level rise is increasing. Increases in ice‐ocean heat exchange have the potential to …

Ice flow models used to project the mass balance of ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica
usually rely on the Shallow Ice Approximation (SIA) and the Shallow‐Shelf Approximation …

Floating ice shelves, which fringe most of Antarctica's coastline, regulate ice flow into the
Southern Ocean,–. Their thinning,,–or disintegration, can cause upstream acceleration of …

Surface ice velocity is a fundamental characteristic of glaciers and ice sheets that quantifies
the transport of ice. Changes in ice dynamics have a major impact on ice sheet mass …

The Greenland ice sheet contains enough water to raise sea levels by 7 m. However, its
present mass balance and future contribution to sea level rise is poorly understood …

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 …

Limited ground-based surveys and extensive remote sensing analyses have confirmed
glacier thinning in the Garhwal Himalaya. More detailed studies on specific glaciers and the …
