Future sea-level rise is an important issue related to the continuing buildup of atmospheric
greenhouse gas concentrations. The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, with the potential …

The Eurasian ice-sheet complex (EISC) was the third largest ice mass during the Last
Glacial Maximum (LGM), after the Antarctic and North American ice sheets. Despite its …

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 …

The ice sheet–ice shelf transition zone plays an important role in controlling marine ice
sheet dynamics, as it determines the rate at which ice flows out of the grounded part of the …

Subglacial conditions of large polar ice sheets remain poorly understood, despite recent
advances in satellite observation. Major uncertainties related to basal conditions, such as …

Recent advances in the determination of the mass balance of polar ice sheets show that the
Greenland Ice Sheet is losing mass by near-coastal thinning, and that the West Antarctic Ice …

The possibility that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet will collapse as a consequence of ice shelf
disintegration has been debated for many years. This matter is of concern because such an …

Predictions of marine ice-sheet behaviour require models able to simulate grounding-line
migration. We present results of an intercomparison experiment for plan-view marine ice …

Ice can sculpt extraordinary landscapes, yet the efficacy of, and controls governing, glacial
erosion on geological timescales remain poorly understood and contended, particularly …

Predictions of marine ice-sheet behaviour require models that are able to robustly simulate
grounding line migration. We present results of an intercomparison exercise for marine ice …
