Morphometry and pattern of a large sample (>20,000) of Canadian eskers and implications for subglacial drainage beneath ice sheets (2014)
Journal Article
Storrar, R., Stokes, C., & Evans, D. (2014). Morphometry and pattern of a large sample (>20,000) of Canadian eskers and implications for subglacial drainage beneath ice sheets. Quaternary Science Reviews, 105(1), 1-25. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2014.09.013

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.

A map of large Canadian eskers from Landsat satellite imagery (2013)
Journal Article
Storrar, R., Stokes, C., & Evans, D. (2013). A map of large Canadian eskers from Landsat satellite imagery. Journal of Maps, 9(3), 456-473. https://doi.org/10.1080/17445647.2013.815591

Meltwater drainage systems beneath ice sheets are a poorly understood, yet fundamentally important environment for understanding glacier dynamics, which are strongly influenced by the nature and quantity of meltwater entering the subglacial system. C... Read More about A map of large Canadian eskers from Landsat satellite imagery.

Major changes in ice stream dynamics during deglaciation of the north-western margin of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (2009)
Journal Article
Stokes, C., Clark, C., & Storrar, R. (2009). Major changes in ice stream dynamics during deglaciation of the north-western margin of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Quaternary Science Reviews, 28(7-8), 721-738. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2008.07.019

Victoria Island lies at the north-western limit of the former North American (Laurentide) Ice Sheet in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and displays numerous cross-cutting glacial lineations. Previous work suggests that several ice streams operated in... Read More about Major changes in ice stream dynamics during deglaciation of the north-western margin of the Laurentide Ice Sheet.

A Glacial Geomorphological Map of Victoria Island, Canadian Arctic (2007)
Journal Article
Storrar, R., & Stokes, C. (2007). A Glacial Geomorphological Map of Victoria Island, Canadian Arctic. Journal of Maps, 3(1), 191-210. https://doi.org/10.1080/jom.2007.9710838

Victoria Island lies at the north-western extremity of the region covered by the vast North American Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. This area is significant because it linked the interior of the LIS to the Arctic Ocean... Read More about A Glacial Geomorphological Map of Victoria Island, Canadian Arctic.
