Updated physical model helps reconstruct sudden, dramatic sea level rise after last ice age
Around 14,500 years ago, toward the end of the last ice age, melting continental ice sheets drove a sudden and cataclysmic ...

Melting Antarctica Ice Could Let Over 100 Hidden Volcanoes Loose
The interaction between volcanic activity and ice creates fascinating subglacial waterways. When warmth from these sleeping giants meets the ice above, it forms elaborate meltwater networks that ...

Aerial Photos Reveal Decades of Greenland Ice Loss (1 of 7) (IMAGE)
In the center a rising plume of sediment-laden subglacial meltwater discharge protrudes into the water surface. Subglacial meltwater discharge is a major component of meltwater runoff and ...

Subglacial bedforms
Whilst individual types of subglacial landforms have often been investigated in isolation, there has been an increasing realisation that they all belong to a single family of related landforms, best ...

This will allow an assessment of the plumbing network and the drainage of meltwater through it, and its effect on ice behaviour and ocean systems. Subglacial lakes are bodies of water that lie at the ...
