Glacier crevasses: Observations, models, and mass balance implications
We review the findings of approximately 60 years of in situ and remote sensing studies of
glacier crevasses, as well as the three broad classes of numerical models now employed to …

Greenland supraglacial lake drainages triggered by hydrologically induced basal slip
Water-driven fracture propagation beneath supraglacial lakes rapidly transports large
volumes of surface meltwater to the base of the Greenland Ice Sheet. These drainage events …

Theoretical, contemporary observational and palaeo-perspectives on ice sheet hydrology: processes and products
Meltwater drainage through ice sheets has recently been a key focus of glaciological
research due to its influence on the dynamics of ice sheets in a warming climate. However …
