Formation mechanisms for ice-stream shear margin moraines (2008)
Journal Article
Hindmarsh, R., & Stokes, C. (2008). Formation mechanisms for ice-stream shear margin moraines. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 33(4), 610-626. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.1665

The lateral shear margins of palaeo-ice stream beds are occasionally marked by large curvilinear moraines, but little work has addressed how they might form. In this paper we review the characteristics of ‘lateral shear margin moraines’ and present t... Read More about Formation mechanisms for ice-stream shear margin moraines.

A glacier inventory for the Buordakh Massif, Cherskiy Range, Northeast Siberia, and evidence for recent glacier recession (2008)
Journal Article
Gurney, S., Popovnin, V., Shahgedanova, M., & Stokes, C. (2008). A glacier inventory for the Buordakh Massif, Cherskiy Range, Northeast Siberia, and evidence for recent glacier recession. Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 40(1), 81-88. https://doi.org/10.1657/1523-0430%2806-042%29%5Bgurney%5D2.0.co%3B2

The Buordakh Massif, in the Cherskiy Range of northeast Siberia, contains mountains over 3000 m and, despite its arid climate, numerous glaciers. This paper presents a glacier inventory for the region and documents some 80 glaciers, which range in si...

Long-term change, interannual and intra-seasonal variability in climate and glacier mass balance in the central Greater Caucasus, Russia (2007)
Journal Article
Shahgedanova, M., Popovnin, V., Aleynikov, A., Petrakov, D., & Stokes, C. (2007). Long-term change, interannual and intra-seasonal variability in climate and glacier mass balance in the central Greater Caucasus, Russia. Annals of Glaciology, 46, 355-361. https://doi.org/10.3189/172756407782871323

Long-term trends, interannual and intra-seasonal variability in the mass-balance record from Djankuat glacier, central Greater Caucasus, Russia, are related to local climate change, synoptic and large-scale anomalies in atmospheric circulation. A cle... Read More about Long-term change, interannual and intra-seasonal variability in climate and glacier mass balance in the central Greater Caucasus, Russia.

Ice stream sticky spots: A review of their identification and influence beneath contemporary and palaeo-ice streams (2007)
Journal Article
Stokes, C., Clark, C., Lian, O., & Tulaczyk, S. (2007). Ice stream sticky spots: A review of their identification and influence beneath contemporary and palaeo-ice streams. Earth-Science Reviews, 81(3-4), 217-249. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2007.01.002

Rapidly-flowing ice streams are the arterial drainage routes in continental ice sheets and exert a major influence on ice sheet mass balance. Recent observations have revealed that ice stream flow exhibits considerable variability, with relatively ra...

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.

Late-20th-century changes in glacier extent in the Caucasus Mountains, Russia/Georgia (2006)
Journal Article
Stokes, C., Gurney, S., Shahgedanova, M., & Popovnin, V. (2006). Late-20th-century changes in glacier extent in the Caucasus Mountains, Russia/Georgia. Journal of Glaciology, 52(176), 99-109. https://doi.org/10.3189/172756506781828827

Glaciers occupy an area of ∼1600 km2 in the Caucasus Mountains. There is widespread evidence of retreat since the Little Ice Age, but an up-to-date regional assessment of glacier change is lacking. In this paper, satellite imagery (Landsat Thematic M... Read More about Late-20th-century changes in glacier extent in the Caucasus Mountains, Russia/Georgia.
