Sub-decadal variations in outlet glacier terminus positions in Victoria Land, Oates Land and George V Land, East Antarctica (1972-2013) (2017)
Journal Article
Lovell, A., Stokes, C., & Jamieson, S. (2017). Sub-decadal variations in outlet glacier terminus positions in Victoria Land, Oates Land and George V Land, East Antarctica (1972-2013). Antarctic Science, 29(5), 468-483. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0954102017000074

Recent work has highlighted the sensitivity of marine-terminating glaciers to decadal-scale changes in the ocean–climate system in parts of East Antarctica. However, compared to Greenland, West Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula, little is known...

Uplift and tilting of the Shackleton Range in East Antarctica driven by glacial erosion and normal faulting (2017)
Journal Article
Paxman, G., Jamieson, S., Ferraccioli, F., Bentley, M., Forsberg, R., Ross, N., …Jordan, T. (2017). Uplift and tilting of the Shackleton Range in East Antarctica driven by glacial erosion and normal faulting. Journal of Geophysical Research. Solid Earth, 122(3), 2390-2408. https://doi.org/10.1002/2016jb013841

Unravelling the long-term evolution of the subglacial landscape of Antarctica is vital for understanding past ice sheet dynamics and stability, particularly in marine-based sectors of the ice sheet. Here, we model the evolution of the bedrock topogra... Read More about Uplift and tilting of the Shackleton Range in East Antarctica driven by glacial erosion and normal faulting.

Simultaneous disintegration of outlet glaciers in Porpoise Bay (Wilkes Land), East Antarctica, driven by sea ice break-up (2017)
Journal Article
Miles, B., Stokes, C., & Jamieson, S. (2017). Simultaneous disintegration of outlet glaciers in Porpoise Bay (Wilkes Land), East Antarctica, driven by sea ice break-up. The Cryosphere, 11, 427-442. https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-11-427-2017

The floating ice shelves and glacier tongues which fringe the Antarctic continent are important because they help buttress ice flow from the ice sheet interior. Dynamic feedbacks associated with glacier calving have the potential to reduce buttressin...

Controls on Last Glacial Maximum ice extent in the Weddell Sea embayment, Antarctica (2017)
Journal Article
Whitehouse, P. L., Bentley, M. J., Vieli, A., Jamieson, S. S., Hein, A. S., & Sugden, D. E. (2017). Controls on Last Glacial Maximum ice extent in the Weddell Sea embayment, Antarctica. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 122(1), 371-397. https://doi.org/10.1002/2016jf004121

The Weddell Sea sector of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is hypothesized to have made a significant contribution to sea-level rise since the Last Glacial Maximum. Using a numerical flowline model we investigate the controls on grounding line motion across t... Read More about Controls on Last Glacial Maximum ice extent in the Weddell Sea embayment, Antarctica.
