21st century response of Petermann Glacier, northwest Greenland to ice shelf loss (2020)
Journal Article
Hill, E., Gudmundsson, G., Carr, J., Stokes, C., & King, H. (2021). 21st century response of Petermann Glacier, northwest Greenland to ice shelf loss. Journal of Glaciology, 67(261), 147-157. https://doi.org/10.1017/jog.2020.97

Ice shelves restrain flow from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. Climate-ocean warming could force thinning or collapse of floating ice shelves and subsequently accelerate flow, increase ice discharge and raise global mean sea levels. Petermann...

Distribution and seasonal evolution of supraglacial lakes on Shackleton Ice Shelf, East Antarctica (2020)
Journal Article
Arthur, J., Stokes, C., Jamieson, S., Carr, J., & Leeson, A. (2020). Distribution and seasonal evolution of supraglacial lakes on Shackleton Ice Shelf, East Antarctica. The Cryosphere, 14(11), 4103-4120. https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-14-4103-2020

Supraglacial lakes (SGLs) enhance surface melting and can flex and fracture ice shelves when they grow and subsequently drain, potentially leading to ice shelf disintegration. However, the seasonal evolution of SGLs and their influence on ice shelf s... Read More about Distribution and seasonal evolution of supraglacial lakes on Shackleton Ice Shelf, East Antarctica.

Timing of Little Ice Age maxima and subsequent glacier retreat in northern Troms and western Finnmark, northern Norway (2020)
Journal Article
Leigh, J., Stokes, C., Evans, D., Carr, R., & Andreassen, L. (2020). Timing of Little Ice Age maxima and subsequent glacier retreat in northern Troms and western Finnmark, northern Norway. Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 52(1), 281-311. https://doi.org/10.1080/15230430.2020.1765520

Glaciers are important indicators of climate change, and recent observations worldwide document increasing rates of mountain glacier recession. Here we present approximately 200 years of change in mountain glacier extent in northern Troms and western...

Recent understanding of Antarctic supraglacial lakes using satellite remote sensing (2020)
Journal Article
Arthur, J., Stokes, C., Jamieson, S., Carr, J., & Leeson, A. (2020). Recent understanding of Antarctic supraglacial lakes using satellite remote sensing. Progress in Physical Geography, 44(6), 837-869. https://doi.org/10.1177/0309133320916114

Supraglacial lakes (SGLs) are now known to be widespread in Antarctica, where they represent an important component of ice sheet mass balance. This paper reviews how recent progress in satellite remote sensing has substantially advanced our understan...

Intermittent structural weakening and acceleration of the Thwaites Glacier Tongue between 2000 and 2018 (2020)
Journal Article
Miles, B., Stokes, C., Jenkins, A., Jordan, J., Jamieson, S., & Gudmundsson, G. (2020). Intermittent structural weakening and acceleration of the Thwaites Glacier Tongue between 2000 and 2018. Journal of Glaciology, 66(257), 485-495. https://doi.org/10.1017/jog.2020.20

Evolving conditions at the terminus of Thwaites Glacier will be important in determining the rate of its future sea-level contribution over the coming decades. Here, we use remote-sensing observations to investigate recent changes (2000–2018) in the...

Quaternary Science Reviews, 234, Article 106223. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2020.106223

The North American Ice Sheet Complex (NAISC; consisting of the Laurentide, Cordilleran and Innuitian ice sheets) was the largest ice mass to repeatedly grow and decay in the Northern Hemisphere during the Quaternary. Understanding its pattern of retr... Read More about An updated radiocarbon-based ice margin chronology for the last deglaciation of the North American Ice Sheet Complex.

The deglaciation of the Americas during the Last Glacial Termination (2020)

Earth-Science Reviews, 203, Article 103113. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2020.103113

This paper reviews current understanding of deglaciation in North, Central and South America from the Last Glacial Maximum to the beginning of the Holocene. Together with paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic data, we compare and contrast the pace of d... Read More about The deglaciation of the Americas during the Last Glacial Termination.
