Five decades of radioglaciology

DM Schroeder, RG Bingham, DD Blankenship… - Annals of …, 2020 - cambridge.org
Radar sounding is a powerful geophysical approach for characterizing the subsurface
conditions of terrestrial and planetary ice masses at local to global scales. As a result, a wide …

Subglacial plumes

IJ Hewitt - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Buoyant plumes form when glacial ice melts directly into the ocean or when subglacial
meltwater is discharged to the ocean at depth. They play a key role in regulating heat …

Control of reactive collisions by quantum interference

H Son, JJ Park, YK Lu, AO Jamison, T Karman… - Science, 2022 - science.org
In this study, we achieved magnetic control of reactive scattering in an ultracold mixture of
23Na atoms and 23Na6Li molecules. In most molecular collisions, particles react or are lost …

[HTML][HTML] Persistent, extensive channelized drainage modeled beneath Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica

AO Hager, MJ Hoffman, SF Price… - The Cryosphere, 2022 - tc.copernicus.org
Subglacial hydrology is a leading control on basal friction and the dynamics of glaciers and
ice sheets. At low discharge, subglacial water flows through high-pressure, sheet-like …

Channelized melting drives thinning under a rapidly melting Antarctic ice shelf

N Gourmelen, DN Goldberg, K Snow… - Geophysical …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Ice shelves play a vital role in regulating loss of grounded ice and in supplying freshwater to
coastal seas. However, melt variability within ice shelves is poorly constrained and may be …

Layered seawater intrusion and melt under grounded ice

AA Robel, E Wilson, H Seroussi - The Cryosphere Discussions, 2021 - tc.copernicus.org
Increasing melt of ice sheets at their floating or vertical interface with the ocean is a major
driver of marine ice sheet retreat and sea level rise. However, the extent to which warm, salty …

Tidewater-glacier response to supraglacial lake drainage

LA Stevens, M Nettles, JL Davis, TT Creyts… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
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 …

A fast and simplified subglacial hydrological model for the Antarctic Ice Sheet and outlet glaciers

E Kazmierczak, T Gregov, V Coulon, F Pattyn - The Cryosphere, 2024 - tc.copernicus.org
We present a novel and computationally efficient subglacial hydrological model that
represents in a simplified way both hard-and soft-bed rheologies, as well as an automatic …

Thwaites Glacier thins and retreats fastest where ice-shelf channels intersect its grounding zone

AM Chartrand, IM Howat, IR Joughin, BE Smith - The Cryosphere, 2024 - tc.copernicus.org
Antarctic ice shelves buttress the flow of the ice sheet but are vulnerable to increased basal
melting from contact with a warming ocean and increased mass loss from calving due to …

Melting and refreezing in an ice shelf basal channel at the grounding line of the Kamb Ice Stream, West Antarctica

A Whiteford, HJ Horgan, WJ Leong… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Ice shelves buttress ice streams and glaciers, slowing the rate at which they flow into the
ocean. When this buttressing is reduced, either through increased melt or calving, the …
