Late-20th-century changes in glacier extent in the Caucasus Mountains, Russia/Georgia (2006)
Journal Article
Stokes, C., Gurney, S., Shahgedanova, M., & Popovnin, V. (2006). Late-20th-century changes in glacier extent in the Caucasus Mountains, Russia/Georgia. Journal of Glaciology, 52(176), 99-109. https://doi.org/10.3189/172756506781828827

Glaciers occupy an area of ∼1600 km2 in the Caucasus Mountains. There is widespread evidence of retreat since the Little Ice Age, but an up-to-date regional assessment of glacier change is lacking. In this paper, satellite imagery (Landsat Thematic M... Read More about Late-20th-century changes in glacier extent in the Caucasus Mountains, Russia/Georgia.

Late Pleistocene ice export events into the Arctic Ocean from the M'Clure Strait Ice Stream, Canadian Arctic Archipelago (2005)
Journal Article
Stokes, C., Clark, C., Darby, D., & Hodgson, D. (2005). Late Pleistocene ice export events into the Arctic Ocean from the M'Clure Strait Ice Stream, Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Global and Planetary Change, 49(3-4), 139-162. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gloplacha.2005.06.001

Rapidly-flowing sectors of an ice sheet (ice streams) can play an important role in abrupt climate change through the delivery of icebergs and meltwater and the subsequent disruption of ocean thermohaline circulation (e.g., the North Atlantic's Heinr...

Evolution of late glacial ice-marginal lakes on the northwestern Canadian Shield and their influence on the location of the Dubawnt Lake palaeo-ice stream (2004)
Journal Article
Stokes, C., & Clark, C. (2004). Evolution of late glacial ice-marginal lakes on the northwestern Canadian Shield and their influence on the location of the Dubawnt Lake palaeo-ice stream. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 215(1-2), 155-171. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2004.09.006

During deglaciation of the North American Laurentide Ice Sheet large proglacial lakes developed in positions where proglacial drainage was impeded by the ice margin. For some of these lakes, it is known that subsequent drainage had an abrupt and wide...

Laurentide ice streaming on the Canadian Shield: A conflict with the soft-bedded ice stream paradigm? (2003)
Journal Article
Stokes, C., & Clark, C. (2003). Laurentide ice streaming on the Canadian Shield: A conflict with the soft-bedded ice stream paradigm?. Geology, 31(4), 347-350. https://doi.org/10.1130/0091-7613%282003%29031%3C0347%3Alisotc%3E2.0.co%3B2

Elucidating the controls on the location and vigor of ice streams is crucial to understanding the processes that lead to fast disintegration of ice flows and ice sheets. In the former North American Laurentide ice sheet, ice stream occurrence appears...

Are long subglacial bedforms indicative of fast ice flow? (2002)
Journal Article
Stokes, C., & Clark, C. (2002). Are long subglacial bedforms indicative of fast ice flow?. Boreas: An International Journal of Quaternary Research, 31(3), 239-249. https://doi.org/10.1080/030094802760260355

It has been suggested that extremely long subglacial bedforms (e.g. attenuated drumlins and mega-scale glacial lineations) record former areas of fast-flowing ice and that bedform elongation ratio is a useful proxy for ice velocity. Despite the avail... Read More about Are long subglacial bedforms indicative of fast ice flow?.
