Understanding Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) hydrology is essential for evaluating response of ice dynamics to a warming climate and future contributions to global sea level rise. Recently …
The manner by which meltwater drains through a glacier is critical to ice dynamics, runoff characteristics, and water quality. However, much of the contemporary knowledge relating to …
The rapid drainage of supraglacial lakes around the ablation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet forms an important link between water at the surface and the ice sheet base, allowing …
Subsurface microbial oxidation of overridden soils and vegetation beneath glaciers and ice sheets may affect global carbon budgets on glacial–interglacial timescales. The likelihood …
Supraglacial lakes (SGLs) form annually on the Greenland ice sheet, and, when they drain, their discharge enhances ice-sheet flow by lubricating the base and potentially by warming …

Glaciological observations of under‐flooding suggest that fluid‐induced hydraulic fracture of an ice sheet from its bed sometimes occurs quickly, possibly driven by turbulently flowing …
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 …
Water-driven fracture propagation beneath supraglacial lakes rapidly transports large volumes of surface meltwater to the base of the Greenland Ice Sheet. These drainage events …
Supraglacial lakes are an important component of the Greenland Ice Sheet's mass balance and hydrology, with their drainage affecting ice dynamics. This study uses imagery from the …
