DOI: 10.1016/j.quascirev.2017.10.029
Abstract: Abstract Most outlet glaciers of the Cordillera Darwin Icefield (CDI; Patagonia, 54°S) are currently transitioning from calving to land-based conditions. Whether this situation is unique to the modern climate or also occurred during the Holocene… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/jog.2018.24
Abstract: ABSTRACT Satellite observations of gravity anomalies, ice-surface elevation and glacier velocity show significant increases in net grounded-ice-mass loss over the past decade along the Bellingshausen Sea sector (BSS), West Antarctica, in areas where warm (>1°C)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020gl090112
Abstract: Greenland’s outlet glaciers have been a leading source of mass loss and accompanying sea‐level rise from the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) over the last 25 years. The dynamic component of outlet glacier mass loss depends… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-12039-2
Abstract: Atmospheric warming is increasing surface melting across the Antarctic Peninsula, with unknown impacts upon glacier dynamics at the ice-bed interface. Using high-resolution satellite-derived ice velocity data, optical satellite imagery and regional climate modelling, we show… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1035197
Abstract: Glacial meltwater drains into proglacial rivers where it interacts with the surrounding landscape, collecting microbial cells as it travels downstream. Characterizing the composition of the resulting microbial assemblages in transport can inform us about intra-annual… read more here.
