Melting is pervasive along the ice surrounding Antarctica. On the surface of the grounded ice
sheet and floating ice shelves, extensive networks of lakes, streams and rivers both store …

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 …

The aims of this review are to:(a) describe and interpret structures in valley glaciers in
relation to strain history; and (b) to explore how these structures inform our understanding of …

Meltwater stored in ponds and crevasses can weaken and fracture ice shelves, triggering
their rapid disintegration. This ice-shelf collapse results in an increased flux of ice from …

Locally grounded features in ice shelves, called ice rises and rumples, play a key role
buttressing discharge from the Antarctic Ice Sheet and regulating its contribution to sea level …

Reconstruction of glacial topography is important for assessing the ice dynamics of glaciers
in the past and understanding how they may respond to climate change in the future. As an …

The contribution of Antarctica's ice sheet to global sea-level rise depends on the very
dynamic behavior of glaciers and ice shelves. One important parameter of ice-sheet …

The Antarctic Peninsula region is currently undergoing rapid environmental change,
resulting in the thinning, acceleration and recession of glaciers and the sequential collapse …

This study of landscape evolution presents both new modern and palaeo process-landform
data, and analyses the behaviour of the Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet through the Last …

Around the perimeter of Antarctica, much of the ice sheet discharges to the ocean through
floating ice shelves. The buttressing provided by ice shelves is critical for modulating the flux …
