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 …

The cycling of carbon on Earth exerts a fundamental influence upon the greenhouse gas
content of the atmosphere, and hence global climate over millennia. Until recently, ice …

This chapter assesses the state of physical, biological and social knowledge concerning the
Arctic and Antarctic ocean and cryosphere, how they are affected by climate change, and …

Ice discharge from large ice sheets plays a direct role in determining rates of sea-level rise.
We map present-day Antarctic-wide surface velocities using Landsat 7 and 8 imagery …

We present a reference, comprehensive, high-resolution, digital mosaic of ice motion in
Antarctica assembled from multiple satellite interferometric synthetic-aperture radar data …

Over the past 40 years Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica has thinned at an accelerating
rate,,, so that at present it is the largest single contributor to sea-level rise in Antarctica. In …

Marine ice sheets are highly sensitive to submarine melting in their grounding zones, where
they transition between grounded and floating ice. Recently published studies of the …

Antarctica is the largest reservoir of ice on Earth. Understanding its ice sheet dynamics is
crucial to unraveling past global climate change and making robust climatic and sea level …

The marine portion of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) in the Amundsen Sea Embayment
(ASE) accounts for one-fourth of the cryospheric contribution to global sea-level rise and is …

Abstract The Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets cover~\n10% of global land surface, but
are rarely considered as active components of the global iron cycle. The ocean waters …
