The Laurentide Ice Sheet was the largest global ice mass to grow and decay during the last glacial cycle (~115 ka to ~10 ka). Despite its importance for driving major changes in global mean sea level, long-term landscape evolution, and atmospheric ci...

Image classification of marine-terminating outlet glaciers in Greenland using deep learning methods (2021)
Journal Article

A wealth of research has focused on elucidating the key controls on mass loss from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets in response to climate forcing, specifically in relation to the drivers of marine-terminating outlet glacier change. The manual... Read More about Image classification of marine-terminating outlet glaciers in Greenland using deep learning methods.

The sensitivity of Cook Glacier, East Antarctica, to changes in ice-shelf extent and grounding-line position (2021)
Journal Article

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...

Glacial and periglacial geomorphological map of central Troms and Finnmark county, Arctic Norway (2021)
Journal Article
Leigh, J., Evans, D., Stokes, C., Andreassen, L., & Carr, R. (2021). Glacial and periglacial geomorphological map of central Troms and Finnmark county, Arctic Norway. Journal of Maps, 17(2), 348-366. https://doi.org/10.1080/17445647.2021.1950580

Here we present a glacial and periglacial geomorphological map of a ∼6800 km2 region of central Troms and Finnmark county, Arctic Norway. The map is presented at a 1:115,000 scale with the aim of characterising the spatial distribution of glacial and...

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...
