Mid-Holocene thinning of David Glacier, Antarctica: chronology and controls (2021)
Journal Article
Stutz, J., Mackintosh, A., Norton, K., Whitmore, R., Baroni4, C., Jamieson, S. S., …Woodruff, T. (2021). Mid-Holocene thinning of David Glacier, Antarctica: chronology and controls. The Cryosphere, 15(12), 5447-5471. https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-15-5447-2021

Quantitative satellite observations only provide an assessment of ice sheet mass loss over the last four decades. To assess long-term drivers of ice sheet change, geological records are needed. Here we present the first millennial-scale reconstructio... Read More about Mid-Holocene thinning of David Glacier, Antarctica: chronology and controls.

The sensitivity of Cook Glacier, East Antarctica, to changes in ice-shelf extent and grounding-line position (2021)
Journal Article
Jordan, J., Gudmundsson, G., Jenkins, A., Stokes, C., Miles, B., & Jamieson, S. (2022). The sensitivity of Cook Glacier, East Antarctica, to changes in ice-shelf extent and grounding-line position. Journal of Glaciology, 68(269), 473-485. https://doi.org/10.1017/jog.2021.106

The Wilkes Subglacial Basin in East Antarctica contains ice equivalent to 3–4 m of global mean sea level rise and is primarily drained by Cook Glacier. Of concern is that recent observations (since the 1970s) show an acceleration in ice speed over th...

The triggers of the disaggregation of Voyeykov Ice Shelf (2007), Wilkes Land, East Antarctica, and its subsequent evolution (2021)
Journal Article
Arthur, J. F., Stokes, C. R., Jamieson, S. S., Miles, B. W., Carr, J. R., & Leeson, A. A. (2021). The triggers of the disaggregation of Voyeykov Ice Shelf (2007), Wilkes Land, East Antarctica, and its subsequent evolution. Journal of Glaciology, 67(265), 933-951. https://doi.org/10.1017/jog.2021.45

The weakening and/or removal of floating ice shelves in Antarctica can induce inland ice flow acceleration. Numerical modelling suggests these processes will play an important role in Antarctica's future sea-level contribution, but our understanding...

Recent acceleration of Denman Glacier (1972-2017), East Antarctica, driven by grounding line retreat and changes in ice tongue configuration (2021)
Journal Article
Miles, B., Jordan, J., Stokes, C., Jamieson, S., Hilmar Gudmundsson, G., & Jenkins, A. (2021). Recent acceleration of Denman Glacier (1972-2017), East Antarctica, driven by grounding line retreat and changes in ice tongue configuration. The Cryosphere, 15, 663-676. https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-2020-162

Denman Glacier is one of the largest in East Antarctica, with a catchment that contains an ice volume equivalent to 1.5 m of global sea-level and which sits in the Aurora Subglacial Basin (ASB). Geological evidence of this basin’s sensitivity to past...
