Reconstructing the growth and decay of palaeo-ice sheets is critical to understanding
mechanisms of global climate change and associated sea-level fluctuations in the past …

Ice streams flowing into Ross Ice Shelf are presently responsible for around 10% of the
mass flux from West Antarctica, with the noteworthy exception of Kamb Ice Stream, which …

This paper examines the effect of basal topography and strength on the grounding-line
position, flux and stability of rapidly-sliding ice streams. It does so by supposing that the …

Ice rheology governs how glaciers flow and respond to environmental change. The rheology
of glacier ice evolves in response to a variety of mechanisms, including damage, heating …

Glacier surges are quasi-periodic episodes of rapid ice flow that arise from increases in slip
rate at the ice–bed interface. The mechanisms that trigger and sustain surges are not well …

The resilience of a marine-based ice sheet is strongly governed by the stability of its
grounding lines, which are in turn sensitive to ocean-induced melting, calving, and flotation …

We consider the flow of marine-terminating outlet glaciers that are laterally confined in a
channel of prescribed width. In that case, the drag exerted by the channel side walls on a …

Recent observations indicate that many marine‐terminating glaciers in Greenland and
Antarctica are currently retreating and thinning, potentially due to long‐term trends in climate …

Mass loss from ice shelves is a strong control on grounding-line dynamics. Here we
investigate how calving and submarine melt parameterizations affect steady-state grounding …

The grounding line marks the transition between a glacier's floating and grounded parts and
serves as a crucial parameter for monitoring sea level changes and assessing glacier …
