Dynamical changes in contemporary ice sheets account for significant proportions of their
current rates of mass loss, but assessing whether or not these processes are a natural part …

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 …

Antarctic subglacial lakes are thought to be extreme habitats for microbial life and may
contain important records of ice sheet history and climate change within their lake floor …

The locations and details of 145 Antarctic subglacial lakes are presented. The inventory is
based on a former catalogue of lake-type features, which has been subsequently …

The Antarctic is unique, geographically, politically, and scientifically. It is the most remote,
hostile, and dangerous continent, while at the same time it is the most pristine and least …

Spaceborne interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) techniques for measuring ice
flow velocity and topography have developed rapidly over the last decade and a half …

Active subglacial lakes concentrate the distribution of water beneath ice sheets in both
space and time. Seismic and surface observations from Subglacial Lake Whillans (SLW) …

We investigate the glaciological and topographic setting of known Antarctic subglacial lakes
following a previous assessment by Dowdeswell and Siegert (2002) based on the first …

The Antarctic continent carries the greatest diversity of lake environments on the planet:
freshwater and saline lakes, tidal freshwater epishelf lakes, lakes on ice shelves and glacier …

Radio-echo sounding (RES) constitutes the principal means by which glaciologists
investigate the subsurface properties of the polar ice sheets and ice caps. Developed in the …
