We present a comprehensive new inventory of surge-type glaciers on the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, using high-resolution (up to 4 m) satellite imagery from 1976/77 (Hexagon), 1989 (Landsat TM), 2001 (Landsat ETM+) and 2006 (ASTER). A total of 692 glac... Read More about Identification and characteristics of surge-type glaciers on Novaya Zemlya, Russian Arctic.

Formation of mega-scale glacial lineations observed beneath a West Antarctic ice stream (2009)
Journal Article
King, E., Hindmarsh, R., & Stokes, C. (2009). Formation of mega-scale glacial lineations observed beneath a West Antarctic ice stream. Nature Geoscience, 2(8), 585-596. https://doi.org/10.1038/ngeo581

Most discharge from large ice sheets takes place through fast-flowing ice streams and their speed is strongly modulated by interactions between the ice and the underlying sediments. Seismic surveys and investigations through boreholes have revealed a... Read More about Formation of mega-scale glacial lineations observed beneath a West Antarctic ice stream.

Major changes in ice stream dynamics during deglaciation of the north-western margin of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (2009)

Victoria Island lies at the north-western limit of the former North American (Laurentide) Ice Sheet in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and displays numerous cross-cutting glacial lineations. Previous work suggests that several ice streams operated in... Read More about Major changes in ice stream dynamics during deglaciation of the north-western margin of the Laurentide Ice Sheet.

Ice-sheet dynamics and ice streaming along the coastal parts of northern Norway. (2008)
Journal Article
Ottesen, D., Stokes, C., Rise, L., & Olsen, L. (2008). Ice-sheet dynamics and ice streaming along the coastal parts of northern Norway. Quaternary Science Reviews, 27, 922-940. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2008.01.014

In this paper, regional and high-resolution bathymetric data are used to reconstruct the pattern and dynamics of ice-sheet flow in the fjord and shelf areas of northern Norway. Interpretation of the morphology of the sea floor reveals a series of gla... Read More about Ice-sheet dynamics and ice streaming along the coastal parts of northern Norway..

Superimposition of ribbed moraines on a palaeo-ice-stream bed: implications for ice stream dynamics and shutdown (2008)
Journal Article
Stokes, C., Lian, O., Tulaczyk, S., & Clark, C. (2008). Superimposition of ribbed moraines on a palaeo-ice-stream bed: implications for ice stream dynamics and shutdown. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 33(4), 593-609. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.1671

The sediments and landforms preserved on palaeo-ice-stream beds can provide important information about their subglacial conditions and flow mechanisms, and the processes accompanying their shutdown. In this paper, detailed observations of an intrigu... Read More about Superimposition of ribbed moraines on a palaeo-ice-stream bed: implications for ice stream dynamics and shutdown.

Formation mechanisms for ice-stream shear margin moraines (2008)
Journal Article

The lateral shear margins of palaeo-ice stream beds are occasionally marked by large curvilinear moraines, but little work has addressed how they might form. In this paper we review the characteristics of ‘lateral shear margin moraines’ and present t... Read More about Formation mechanisms for ice-stream shear margin moraines.

The Buordakh Massif, in the Cherskiy Range of northeast Siberia, contains mountains over 3000 m and, despite its arid climate, numerous glaciers. This paper presents a glacier inventory for the region and documents some 80 glaciers, which range in si...

Long-term trends, interannual and intra-seasonal variability in the mass-balance record from Djankuat glacier, central Greater Caucasus, Russia, are related to local climate change, synoptic and large-scale anomalies in atmospheric circulation. A cle... Read More about Long-term change, interannual and intra-seasonal variability in climate and glacier mass balance in the central Greater Caucasus, Russia.

Ice stream sticky spots: A review of their identification and influence beneath contemporary and palaeo-ice streams (2007)

Rapidly-flowing ice streams are the arterial drainage routes in continental ice sheets and exert a major influence on ice sheet mass balance. Recent observations have revealed that ice stream flow exhibits considerable variability, with relatively ra...
