Ice sheet flow is strongly influenced by the nature and quantity of meltwater entering the subglacial system. Accessing and monitoring contemporary drainage systems beneath ice sheets is notoriously difficult, but it is possible to utilise the expose...

Increased channelization of subglacial drainage during deglaciation of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (2014)
Journal Article
Storrar, R., Stokes, C., & Evans, D. (2014). Increased channelization of subglacial drainage during deglaciation of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Geology, 42(3), 239-242. https://doi.org/10.1130/g35092.1

The configuration of subglacial meltwater is a critical control on ice sheet dynamics, and the presence of pressurized water distributed across the bed can induce dynamic instabilities. However, this process can be offset by efficient evacuation of w... Read More about Increased channelization of subglacial drainage during deglaciation of the Laurentide Ice Sheet.
