In the coming decades, significant changes in the polar regions will increase the contribution
of ice sheets to global sea-level rise. Under the ice streams and outlet glaciers that deliver …

The contribution of the Greenland ice sheet to sea-level rise has accelerated in recent
decades. Subglacial lake drainage events can induce an ice sheet dynamic response—a …

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 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 …

Abstract Predictions of the Greenland Ice Sheet's response to climate change are limited in
part by uncertainty in the coupling between meltwater lubrication of the ice-sheet bed and …

Abstract Changes in the velocity of large outlet glaciers and ice streams in Greenland and
Antarctica are important for ice-sheet mass balance and hence sea level. Mass loss in large …

The flow of water beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet has recently been shown to involve
drainage from and exchange between subglacial lakes, with flow routing over distances of> …

Melting is pervasive along the ice surrounding Antarctica. On the surface of the grounded ice
sheet and floating ice shelves, extensive networks of lakes, streams and rivers both store …

Supraglacial lakes (SGLs) form annually on the Greenland ice sheet, and, when they drain,
their discharge enhances ice-sheet flow by lubricating the base and potentially by warming …

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 …
