Dynamic ice discharge from outlet glaciers across the Greenland ice sheet has increased since the beginning of the 21st century. Calving from floating ice tongues that buttress these outlets can accelerate ice flow and discharge of grounded ice. Howe...

The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is losing mass in response to recent climatic and oceanic warming. Since the mid-1990s, tidewater outlet glaciers across the ice sheet have thinned, retreated, and accelerated, but recent changes in northern Greenland h...

Velocity increases at Cook Glacier, East Antarctica linked to ice shelf loss and a subglacial flood event (2018)
Journal Article

Cook Glacier drains a large proportion of the Wilkes Subglacial Basin in East Antarctica, a region thought to be vulnerable to marine ice sheet instability and with potential to make a significant contribution to sea level. Despite its importance, th... Read More about Velocity increases at Cook Glacier, East Antarctica linked to ice shelf loss and a subglacial flood event.

Lack of evidence for a substantial sea-level fluctuation within the Last Interglacial (2018)
Journal Article

During the Last Interglacial, global mean sea level reached approximately 6 to 9 m above the present level. This period of high sea level may have been punctuated by a fall of more than 4 m, but a cause for such a widespread sea-level fall has been e...

Bedrock mega-grooves in glaciated terrain: a review (2018)
Journal Article

Bedrock mega-grooves are assemblages of straight and parallel troughs eroded in bedrock, typically over 1000 m in length; most sites occur within the limits of the Last Glacial Maximum, both on- and off-shore. In this paper, we review the current und... Read More about Bedrock mega-grooves in glaciated terrain: a review.

Mega-scale glacial lineations (MSGLs) are ridge-groove corrugations aligned in the direction of the former ice flow, tens of kilometers long and up to a few hundred meters wide. They are the most striking subglacial features on the beds of former ice...

Widespread and accelerating glacier retreat on the Lyngen Peninsula, northern Norway, since their ‘Little Ice Age’ maximum (2018)
Journal Article

The recession of mountain glaciers worldwide is increasing global sea level and, in many regions, human activities will have to adapt to changes in surface hydrology. Thus, it is important to provide up-to-date analyses of glacier change and the fact...
