Ice streaming in the Laurentide Ice Sheet: A first comparison between data-calibrated numerical model output and geological evidence (2010)
Journal Article
Stokes, C., & Tarasov, L. (2010). Ice streaming in the Laurentide Ice Sheet: A first comparison between data-calibrated numerical model output and geological evidence. Geophysical Research Letters, 37(1), Article L01501. https://doi.org/10.1029/2009gl040990

[1] Despite the importance of rapidly-flowing ice streams to ice sheet mass balance, their incorporation into numerical ice sheet models is a major scientific challenge. This introduces large uncertainties in model output and inhibits a more complete...

What controls the location of ice streams? (2010)
Journal Article
Winsborrow, M., Clark, C., & Stokes, C. (2010). What controls the location of ice streams?. Earth-Science Reviews, 103(1-2), 45-59. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2010.07.003

Ice streams influence ice sheet mass balance and stability but key aspects of their behaviour remain poorly understood. This paper reviews and discusses one very important aspect: what controls their location in an ice sheet? Seven potential controls... Read More about What controls the location of ice streams?.

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.

Ice-sheet dynamics and ice streaming along the coastal parts of northern Norway. (2008)
Journal Article
Ottesen, D., Stokes, C., Rise, L., & Olsen, L. (2008). Ice-sheet dynamics and ice streaming along the coastal parts of northern Norway. Quaternary Science Reviews, 27, 922-940. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2008.01.014

In this paper, regional and high-resolution bathymetric data are used to reconstruct the pattern and dynamics of ice-sheet flow in the fjord and shelf areas of northern Norway. Interpretation of the morphology of the sea floor reveals a series of gla... Read More about Ice-sheet dynamics and ice streaming along the coastal parts of northern Norway..

Superimposition of ribbed moraines on a palaeo-ice-stream bed: implications for ice stream dynamics and shutdown (2008)
Journal Article
Stokes, C., Lian, O., Tulaczyk, S., & Clark, C. (2008). Superimposition of ribbed moraines on a palaeo-ice-stream bed: implications for ice stream dynamics and shutdown. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 33(4), 593-609. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.1671

The sediments and landforms preserved on palaeo-ice-stream beds can provide important information about their subglacial conditions and flow mechanisms, and the processes accompanying their shutdown. In this paper, detailed observations of an intrigu... Read More about Superimposition of ribbed moraines on a palaeo-ice-stream bed: implications for ice stream dynamics and shutdown.
