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 …

We numerically study the melting process of a solid layer heated from below such that a
liquid melt layer develops underneath. The objective is to quantitatively describe and …

We report on the shape dynamics of ice suspended in cold fresh water and subject to the
natural convective flows generated during melting. Experiments reveal shape motifs for …

How fast ice melts in turbulent flows is key to many natural and industrial processes, most
notably the melting of ice in the polar regions. To get a better quantitative understanding of …

Although over 600 Antarctic subglacial lakes have been identified using radar and satellite
observations, the bathymetry and bed properties, which are key to understanding conditions …

We investigate the dynamics of a fluid layer subject to a bottom heat flux and a top
monotonically increasing temperature profile driving horizontal convection (HC). We use …

Subglacial lakes are isolated, low-temperature and high-pressure water environments
hidden under ice sheets. Here, we use two-dimensional direct numerical simulations in …

Research based on Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding
(MARSIS) data detected unusual radar bright basal reflections located at about 1.5 km depth …

Penetrative turbulence, which occurs in a convectively unstable fluid layer and penetrates
into an adjacent, originally stably stratified layer, is numerically and theoretically analyzed …

The heating of ponds, lakes, streams, rivers, and wetlands determines their temperatures
and the movement of heat creates the density structure in the water column in which …
