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 …

We review and synthesize the geologic record that constrains the sources of sea level rise
and freshwater discharge to the global oceans associated with retreat of ice sheets during …

A new model of the last deglaciation event of the Late Quaternary ice age is here described
and denoted as ICE‐6G_C (VM5a). It differs from previously published models in this …

Although erosion of valleys by subglacial meltwater was first proposed more than 100years
ago, the processes that produced these valleys under past ice sheets have remained a topic …

Mega‐scale glacial lineations (MSGLs) are a characteristic landform on ice stream beds.
Solving the puzzle of their formation is key to understanding how ice interacts with its bed …

Closed topographic basins are found beneath contemporary ice masses and within the
footprint of former ice masses in all glaciated regions. We present the first integrated review …

The retreat of the East Antarctic ice sheet at the end of the last glacial period has been
attributed to both sea-level rise and warming of the ocean at the margin of the ice sheet, but …

We review the geomorphological, sedimentological and chronological evidence for palaeo-
ice streams on the continental shelf of Antarctica and use this information to investigate …

The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the three fastest warming regions on Earth. Here we
review Holocene proxy records of marine and terrestrial palaeoclimate in the region, and …

Ice streams influence ice sheet mass balance and stability but key aspects of their behaviour
remain poorly understood. This paper reviews and discusses one very important aspect …
