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 …

During the last deglaciation of North America, huge proglacial lakes formed along the
southern margin of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. The largest of these was glacial Lake Agassiz …

Over the past few years there has been an increase in understanding of glacier-impounded
or 'ice-dammed'lake behaviour. The spectacular jökulhlaup (catastrophic flood) from …

Using a slightly modified form of the Spring–Hutter equations, glacial outburst floods are
simulated from three classic sites,“Hazard Lake”, Yukon, Canada, Summit Lake, British …

In glaciated catchments, glacier‐generated floods (jökulhlaups) put human activity at risk
with large, sporadic jökulhlaups accounting for most flood‐related fatalities and damage to …

Classical theories of channelized subglacial drainage identify a melting vs creep balance at
the channel-ice boundary that is crucial in determining its steady flow properties, but this …

Of several problems associated with theoretical explanations of the jökulhlaups which
emerge from the outlet glacier Skeiðarárjökull of the ice cap Vatnajökull in southeast …

This book offers a comprehensive and detailed summary of our knowledge and
understanding of glaciers and sets them within a global environment context. The text …

Water plays a dominant role in many glacial processes and the erosional, depositional and
climatic significance of meltwaters and associated fluvioglacial processes cannot be …

The presence of strong diurnal cycling in basal water pressure records obtained during the
melt season is well established for many glaciers. The behaviour of the drainage system …
