Large interannual variability in supraglacial lakes around East Antarctica (2022)
Journal Article
Arthur, J. F., Stokes, C. R., Jamieson, S. S., Rachel Carr, J., Leeson, A. A., & Verjans, V. (2022). Large interannual variability in supraglacial lakes around East Antarctica. Nature Communications, 13(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-29385-3

Antarctic supraglacial lakes (SGLs) have been linked to ice shelf collapse and the subsequent acceleration of inland ice flow, but observations of SGLs remain relatively scarce and their interannual variability is largely unknown. This makes it diffi... Read More about Large interannual variability in supraglacial lakes around East Antarctica.
