Vulnerability of Antarctica's ice shelves to meltwater-driven fracture.
Ching-Yao Lai,Jonathan Kingslake,Jonathan Kingslake,M. Wearing,Po-Hsuan Cameron Chen,Pierre Gentine,Harold Li,J. Spergel,J. Spergel,J. Melchior van Wessem +9 more
TL;DR: The ice shelves in Antarctica that may be prone to hydrofracturing under further atmospheric warming are identified and a stability diagram of fractures based on linear elastic fracture mechanics to predict where basal and dry surface fractures form under current stress conditions is developed.
Widespread movement of meltwater onto and across Antarctic ice shelves
TL;DR: It is discovered that ponds often form part of widespread, large-scale surface drainage systems, which could accelerate future ice-mass loss from Antarctic, potentially via positive feedbacks between the extent of exposed rock, melting and thinning of the ice sheet.
Antarctic surface hydrology and impacts on ice-sheet mass balance
Robin E. Bell,Alison F. Banwell,Alison F. Banwell,Luke D. Trusel,Jonathan Kingslake,Jonathan Kingslake +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider three modes by which meltwater could impact Antarctic mass balance: increased runoff, meltwater injection to the bed and meltwater-induced ice-shelf fracture.
Extensive retreat and re-advance of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet during the Holocene
Jonathan Kingslake,Reed P. Scherer,Torsten Albrecht,J.J. Coenen,Ross D. Powell,Ronja Reese,Nathan D. Stansell,Slawek Tulaczyk,M. Wearing,Pippa L. Whitehouse +9 more
TL;DR: Radiocarbon dating of sediment cores and ice-penetrating radar observations are used to demonstrate that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has not retreated progressively during the Holocene epoch, but has instead showed periods of retreat and re-advance.
Potential subglacial lake locations and meltwater drainage pathways beneath the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets
TL;DR: In this article, the Shreve hydraulic potential equation was used to investigate potential subglacial lake locations and meltwater drainage pathways under both the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets, and to recall the locations of > 60% of the known sub-glacial lakes beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet.
