Identification and characteristics of surge-type glaciers on Novaya Zemlya, Russian Arctic (2009)
Journal Article
Grant, K., Stokes, C., & Evans, I. (2009). Identification and characteristics of surge-type glaciers on Novaya Zemlya, Russian Arctic. Journal of Glaciology, 55(194), 960-972. https://doi.org/10.3189/002214309790794940

We present a comprehensive new inventory of surge-type glaciers on the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, using high-resolution (up to 4 m) satellite imagery from 1976/77 (Hexagon), 1989 (Landsat TM), 2001 (Landsat ETM+) and 2006 (ASTER). A total of 692 glac... Read More about Identification and characteristics of surge-type glaciers on Novaya Zemlya, Russian Arctic.

Formation of mega-scale glacial lineations observed beneath a West Antarctic ice stream (2009)
Journal Article
King, E., Hindmarsh, R., & Stokes, C. (2009). Formation of mega-scale glacial lineations observed beneath a West Antarctic ice stream. Nature Geoscience, 2(8), 585-596. https://doi.org/10.1038/ngeo581

Most discharge from large ice sheets takes place through fast-flowing ice streams and their speed is strongly modulated by interactions between the ice and the underlying sediments. Seismic surveys and investigations through boreholes have revealed a... Read More about Formation of mega-scale glacial lineations observed beneath a West Antarctic ice stream.

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.
