Major ice‐sheet change in the Weddell Sector of West Antarctica over the last 5000 years (2019)
Journal Article
Siegert, M. J., Kingslake, J., Ross, N., Whitehouse, P. L., Woodward, J., Jamieson, S. S., …Sugden, D. E. (2019). Major ice‐sheet change in the Weddell Sector of West Antarctica over the last 5000 years. Reviews of Geophysics, 57(4), 1197-1223. https://doi.org/10.1029/2019rg000651

Until recently, little was known about the Weddell Sea sector of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. In the last 10 years, a variety of expeditions and numerical modelling experiments have improved knowledge of its glaciology, glacial geology, and tectonic...

Widespread distribution of supraglacial lakes around the margin of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (2019)
Journal Article
Stokes, C., Sanderson, J., Miles, B., Jamieson, S., & Leeson, A. (2019). Widespread distribution of supraglacial lakes around the margin of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. Scientific Reports, 9, Article 13823. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-50343-5

Supraglacial lakes are important to ice sheet mass balance because their development and drainage has been linked to changes in ice flow velocity and ice shelf disintegration. However, little is known about their distribution on the world’s largest i... Read More about Widespread distribution of supraglacial lakes around the margin of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.

Reconstructions of Antarctic topography since the Eocene–Oligocene boundary (2019)
Journal Article
Paxman, G., Jamieson, S., Hochmuth, K., Gohl, K., Bentley, M., Leitchenkov, G., & Ferraccioli, F. (2019). Reconstructions of Antarctic topography since the Eocene–Oligocene boundary. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 535, Article 109346. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2019.109346

Accurate models of past Antarctic ice sheet behaviour require realistic reconstructions of the evolution of bedrock topography. However, other than a preliminary attempt to reconstruct Antarctic topography at the Eocene–Oligocene boundary, the long-t...

Subglacial geology and geomorphology of the Pensacola-Pole Basin, East Antarctica (2019)
Journal Article
Paxman, G., Jamieson, S., Ferraccioli, F., Jordan, T., Bentley, M., Ross, N., …Casal, T. (2019). Subglacial geology and geomorphology of the Pensacola-Pole Basin, East Antarctica. Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 20(6), 2786-2807. https://doi.org/10.1029/2018gc008126

The East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) is underlain by a series of low‐lying subglacial sedimentary basins. The extent, geology and basal topography of these sedimentary basins are important boundary conditions governing the dynamics of the overlying ic...

What can palaeoclimate modelling do for you? (2019)
Journal Article
Haywood, A., Valdes, P., Aze, T., Barlow, N., Burke, A., Dolan, A., …Voss, J. (2019). What can palaeoclimate modelling do for you?. Earth Systems and Environment, 3(1), 1-18. https://doi.org/10.1007/s41748-019-00093-1

In modern environmental and climate science it is necessary to assimilate observational datasets collected over decades with outputs from numerical models, to enable a full understanding of natural systems and their sensitivities. During the twentiet... Read More about What can palaeoclimate modelling do for you?.

The role of lithospheric flexure in the landscape evolution of the Wilkes Subglacial Basin and Transantarctic Mountains, East Antarctica (2019)
Journal Article
Paxman, G., Jamieson, S., Ferraccioli, F., Bentley, M., Ross, N., Watts, A., …Young, D. (2019). The role of lithospheric flexure in the landscape evolution of the Wilkes Subglacial Basin and Transantarctic Mountains, East Antarctica. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 124(3), 812-829. https://doi.org/10.1029/2018jf004705

Reconstructions of the bedrock topography of Antarctica since the Eocene–Oligocene Boundary (ca. 34 Ma) provide important constraints for modelling Antarctic ice sheet evolution. This is particularly important in regions where the bedrock lies below...
