How much, how fast?: A science review and outlook for research on the instability of Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier in the 21st century
Constraining how much and how fast the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) will change in the
coming decades has recently been identified as the highest priority in Antarctic research …

Cryosphere–groundwater connectivity is a missing link in the mountain water cycle
The mountain cryosphere and groundwater play pivotal roles in shaping the hydrological
cycle, yet their connectivity remains incompletely understood. Current knowledge on …

A global assessment of the societal impacts of glacier outburst floods
JL Carrivick, FS Tweed - Global and Planetary Change, 2016 - Elsevier
Glacier outburst floods are sudden releases of large amounts of water from a glacier. They
are a pervasive natural hazard worldwide. They have an association with climate primarily …

Glacial erosion: status and outlook
Glacier-erosion rates range across orders of magnitude, and much of this variation cannot
be attributed to basal sliding rates. Subglacial till acts as lubricating 'fault gouge'or 'sawdust' …

Greenland subglacial drainage evolution regulated by weakly connected regions of the bed
Penetration of surface meltwater to the bed of the Greenland Ice Sheet each summer causes
an initial increase in ice speed due to elevated basal water pressure, followed by slowdown …

[HTML][HTML] Persistent, extensive channelized drainage modeled beneath Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica
Subglacial hydrology is a leading control on basal friction and the dynamics of glaciers and
ice sheets. At low discharge, subglacial water flows through high-pressure, sheet-like …

Recent advances in our understanding of the role of meltwater in the Greenland Ice Sheet system
Abstract Purpose of the Review This review discusses the role that meltwater plays within
the Greenland ice sheet system. The ice sheet's hydrology is important because it affects …

Episodic ice velocity fluctuations triggered by a subglacial flood in West Antarctica
Height change anomalies in satellite altimeter data have been interpreted as the surface
expressions of basal water moving into and out of subglacial lakes. These signals have …

Channelized, distributed, and disconnected: subglacial drainage under a valley glacier in the Yukon
The subglacial drainage system is one of the main controls on basal sliding, but remains
only partially understood. Here we use an 8-year dataset of borehole observations on a …

An overview of interactions and feedbacks between ice sheets and the Earth system
Ice sheet response to forced changes—such as that from anthropogenic climate forcing—is
closely regulated by two‐way interactions with other components of the Earth system. These …
