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 …

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 …

We describe the development of mathematical models of ice sheets, focusing on underlying
physics and the minimal components that successful models must contain. Our review …

Seasonal acceleration of the Greenland Ice Sheet is influenced by the dynamic response of
the subglacial hydrologic system to variability in meltwater delivery to the bed, via crevasses …

A numerical model is used to calculate how the motion of an idealized ice-sheet margin is
affected by the subglacial drainage of melt water from its surface. The model describes the …

The impact of increasing summer melt on the dynamics and stability of the Greenland Ice
Sheet is not fully understood. Mounting evidence suggests seasonal evolution of subglacial …

The slip of glaciers over the underlying bed is the dominant mechanism governing the
migration of ice from land into the oceans, with accelerating slip contributing to sea-level …

Gornersee, Switzerland, is an ice-marginal lake, which drains almost every year,
subglacially, within a few days. We present an analysis of the lake outburst events between …

Using dense networks of three-component seismometers installed in direct contact with the
ice, the seismic activity of Gornergletscher, Switzerland, was investigated during the …

Nearly 100 days of hourly glacier motion, hydrology and hydrochemistry measurements on
Kennicott Glacier, Alaska, USA, demonstrate the complicated relationship between water …
