Recharge of a subglacial lake by surface meltwater in northeast Greenland

MJ Willis, BG Herried, MG Bevis, RE Bell - Nature, 2015 - nature.com
In a warming climate, surface meltwater production on large ice sheets is expected to
increase. If this water is delivered to the ice sheet base it may have important consequences …

Hydrology and the future of the Greenland Ice Sheet

GE Flowers - Nature communications, 2018 - nature.com
Detection, attribution and projection of mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet has been a
central focus of the glaciological community, with surface meltwater thought to play a key …

Antarctic ice-sheet loss driven by basal melting of ice shelves

HD Pritchard, SRM Ligtenberg, HA Fricker… - Nature, 2012 - nature.com
Accurate prediction of global sea-level rise requires that we understand the cause of recent,
widespread and intensifying, glacier acceleration along Antarctic ice-sheet coastal margins …

Rapid submarine ice melting in the grounding zones of ice shelves in West Antarctica

A Khazendar, E Rignot, DM Schroeder… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Enhanced submarine ice-shelf melting strongly controls ice loss in the Amundsen Sea
embayment (ASE) of West Antarctica, but its magnitude is not well known in the critical …

Contribution of Antarctica to past and future sea-level rise

RM DeConto, D Pollard - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
Polar temperatures over the last several million years have, at times, been slightly warmer
than today, yet global mean sea level has been 6–9 metres higher as recently as the Last …

Seasonal evolution of supraglacial lakes on an East Antarctic outlet glacier

ES Langley, AA Leeson, CR Stokes… - Geophysical …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Supraglacial lakes are known to influence ice melt and ice flow on the Greenland ice sheet
and potentially cause ice shelf disintegration on the Antarctic Peninsula. In East Antarctica …

Rapid bottom melting widespread near Antarctic ice sheet grounding lines

E Rignot, SS Jacobs - Science, 2002 - science.org
As continental ice from Antarctica reaches the grounding line and begins to float, its
underside melts into the ocean. Results obtained with satellite radar interferometry reveal …

Different magnitudes of projected subsurface ocean warming around Greenland and Antarctica

J Yin, JT Overpeck, SM Griffies, A Hu, JL Russell… - Nature …, 2011 - nature.com
The observed acceleration of outlet glaciers and ice flows in Greenland and Antarctica is
closely linked to ocean warming, especially in the subsurface layer,,,,. Accurate projections …

Impact of subglacial freshwater discharge on Pine Island Ice Shelf

Y Nakayama, C Cai, H Seroussi - Geophysical research letters, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Satellite‐based estimates of ice shelf melt rates reach 200 m close to the grounding line of
Pine Island Glacier, in West Antarctica. However, ocean simulations have not yet been able …

Basal terraces on melting ice shelves

P Dutrieux, C Stewart, A Jenkins… - Geophysical …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Ocean waters melt the margins of Antarctic and Greenland glaciers, and individual glaciers'
responses and the integrity of their ice shelves are expected to depend on the spatial …
