Ice-stream stability on a reverse bed slope (2012)
Journal Article
Jamieson, S., Vieli, A., Livingstone, S., Ó Cofaigh, C., Stokes, C., Hillenbrand, C., & Dowdeswell, J. (2012). Ice-stream stability on a reverse bed slope. Nature Geoscience, 5(11), 799-802. https://doi.org/10.1038/ngeo1600

Marine-based ice streams whose beds deepen inland are thought to be inherently unstable. This instability is of particular concern because significant portions of the marine-based West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets are losing mass and their retr...

Antarctic palaeo-ice streams (2012)
Journal Article
Livingstone, S., O'Cofaigh, C., Stokes, C., Hillenbrand, C., Vieli, A., & Jamieson, S. (2012). Antarctic palaeo-ice streams. Earth-Science Reviews, 111(1-2), 90-128. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2011.10.003

We review the geomorphological, sedimentological and chronological evidence for palaeo-ice streams on the continental shelf of Antarctica and use this information to investigate basal conditions and processes, and to identify factors controlling grou... Read More about Antarctic palaeo-ice streams.
