Melting is pervasive along the ice surrounding Antarctica. On the surface of the grounded ice
sheet and floating ice shelves, extensive networks of lakes, streams and rivers both store …

The aims of this review are to:(a) describe and interpret structures in valley glaciers in
relation to strain history; and (b) to explore how these structures inform our understanding of …

The disintegration of the ice shelves along the Antarctic Peninsula have spurred much
discussion on the various processes leading to their eventual dramatic collapse, but without …

Warming of the Antarctic Peninsula in the latter half of the twentieth century was greater than
any other terrestrial environment in the Southern Hemisphere, and clear cryospheric and …

Surface melt and subsequent firn air depletion can ultimately lead to disintegration of
Antarctic ice shelves, causing grounded glaciers to accelerate and sea level to rise. In the …

The climate in Svalbard is undergoing amplified change compared to the global mean. This
has major implications for runoff from glaciers and seasonal snow on land. We use a …

Surface melting occurs across many of Antarctica's ice shelves, mainly during the austral
summer. The onset, duration, area and fate of surface melting varies spatially and …

Supraglacial lakes are important to ice sheet mass balance because their development and
drainage has been linked to changes in ice flow velocity and ice shelf disintegration …

Recent research shows increasing decadal ice mass losses from the Greenland and
Antarctic Ice Sheets and more generally from glaciers worldwide in the light of continued …
