Subglacial lakes and hydrology across the Ellsworth Subglacial Highlands, West Antarctica (2020)
Journal Article
Napoleoni, F., Jamieson, S., Ross, N., Bentley, M., Rivera, A., Smith, A., …Vaughan, D. (2020). Subglacial lakes and hydrology across the Ellsworth Subglacial Highlands, West Antarctica. The Cryosphere, 14, 4507-4524. https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-14-4507-2020

Subglacial water plays an important role in ice sheet dynamics and stability. Subglacial lakes are often located at the onset of ice streams and have been hypothesised to enhance ice flow downstream by lubricating the ice– bed interface. The most rec...

A fault-bounded palaeo-lake basin preserved beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet (2020)
Journal Article
Paxman, G. J., Austermann, J., & Tinto, K. J. (2021). A fault-bounded palaeo-lake basin preserved beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 553, Article 116647. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2020.116647

Subglacial topography not only exerts strong controls on contemporary ice sheet dynamics, but also provides an important long-term record of landscape evolution pertaining to past glacial and interglacial conditions. In particular, the bed topography... Read More about A fault-bounded palaeo-lake basin preserved beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet.

Long-term increase in Antarctic Ice Sheet vulnerability driven by bed topography evolution (2020)
Journal Article
Paxman, G., Gasson, E., Jamieson, S., Bentley, M., & Ferraccioli, F. (2020). Long-term increase in Antarctic Ice Sheet vulnerability driven by bed topography evolution. Geophysical Research Letters, 47(20), Article e2020GL090003. https://doi.org/10.1029/2020gl090003

Ice sheet behavior is strongly influenced by the bed topography. However, the effect of the progressive temporal evolution of Antarctica's subglacial landscape on the sensitivity of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) to climatic and oceanic change has yet...
