Subglacial lakes are repositories of ancient climate conditions, provide habitats for life and
modulate ice flow, basal hydrology, biogeochemical fluxes and geomorphic activity. In this …

Glaciers and snowfields can form potential hazards in the Himalayas, and in similarly
glacierised regions of the world. Some glaciological phenomena can have significant …

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 …

Understanding water movement through a glacier is fundamental to several critical issues in
glaciology, including glacier dynamics, glacier‐induced floods, and the prediction of runoff …

The physics of water flow within and under glacier ice is examined with special reference to
the periodic catastrophic outbursts of water (jökulhlaups) from the subglacial lake Grímsvötn …

The length of time TM over which a glacier responds to a prior change in climate is
investigated with reference to the linearized theory of kinematic waves and to results from …

Recent observations of dynamic water systems beneath the Greenland and Antarctic ice
sheets have sparked renewed interest in modelling subglacial drainage. The foundations of …

Active volcanoes and hydrothermal systems underlie ice caps in Iceland. Glacier–volcano
interactions produce meltwater that either drains toward the glacier margin or accumulates …

During the last deglaciation of North America, huge proglacial lakes formed along the
southern margin of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. The largest of these was glacial Lake Agassiz …

Some 11% of Iceland is covered by glaciers. They contain 3,600 km 3 of water, equivalent to
a 35-m-thick ice layer spread evenly over the whole country; if melted, it would raise global …
