Abstract The Weddell Sea sector is one of the main formation sites for Antarctic Bottom
Water and an outlet for about one fifth of Antarctica's continental ice volume. Over the last …

The pattern, style, and timing of glaciation of the last Fennoscandian Ice Sheet (FIS) on the
Kola Peninsula and Russian Lapland (northwest Arctic Russia) is widely debated. This is …

Retreat of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) Antarctic ice sheet is thought to have been
initiated by changes in ocean heat and eustatic sea level propagated from the Northern …

In glacial environments particle-size analysis of moraines provides insights into clast origin,
transport history, depositional mechanism and processes of reworking. Traditional methods …

Blue-ice areas (BIAs) and their geographical distribution in Antarctica were mapped using
Landsat-7 ETM+ images with 15 m spatial resolution obtained during the 1999–2003 austral …

Irreversible shifts of large-scale components of the Earth system (so-called 'tipping
elements') on policy-relevant timescales are a major source of uncertainty for projecting the …

Quantitative satellite observations only provide an assessment of ice sheet mass loss over
the last four decades. To assess long-term drivers of ice sheet change, geological records …

Multi-temporal and fine-resolution topographic data products are increasingly used to
quantify surface elevation change in glacial environments. In this study, we employ 3-D …

Reconstructing the dynamic response of the Antarctic ice sheets to warming during the Last
Glacial Termination (LGT; 18,000–11,650 yrs ago) allows us to disentangle ice-climate …

Past fluctuations of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) are of fundamental interest because
of the possibility of WAIS collapse in the future and a consequent rise in global sea level …
