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 …

Widespread existing geological records from above the modern ice-sheet surface and
outboard of the current ice margin show that the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) was much more …

Antarctica's fast-flowing ice streams drain the ice sheet, with their velocity modulated by
subglacial water systems. Current knowledge of these water systems is limited to the …

Antarctica's basal water system contains more than 130 active lakes, and its evolution
remains a major uncertainty in future ice sheet dynamics. Most of our current understanding …

Projections of Antarctica's contribution to future sea level rise are associated with significant
uncertainty, in part because the observational record is too short to capture long‐term …

Ice streams that flow into Ross Ice Shelf are underlain by water-saturated sediments, a
dynamic hydrological system, and subglacial lakes that intermittently discharge water …

Abstract The Radar for Europa Assessment and Sounding: Ocean to Near-surface
(REASON) is a dual-frequency ice-penetrating radar (9 and 60 MHz) onboard the Europa …

Subglacial hydrology is an important component of the ice dynamic system in Antarctica but
is challenging to investigate due to the large spatial scales of the catchment systems, the ice …

During the 2018–2019 Antarctic field season, the Subglacial Antarctic Lakes Scientific
Access project team cleanly accessed Mercer Subglacial Lake, West Antarctica, to sample …

Recent drilling successes on Rutford Ice Stream in West Antarctica demonstrate the viability
of hot water drilling subglacial access holes to depths> 2000 m. Having techniques to …
