Examining the consistency between subglacial hydrology and basal friction inversion modeling for Slessor Glacier, East Antarctica.
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-31)In light of rising global surface temperatures and sea-level rise, it is more important now than ever to understand what role the cryosphere will play in the Earth's evolution. The Antarctic ice sheet contains enough ice ... -
Ice/hydrology feedback in the Siple Coast, Antarctica, from two-way coupled modeling
(University of Waterloo, 2024-06-18)Subglacial hydrological processes have long been understood to play a critical role in ice dynamics (Budd et al., 1979). Consequently, the recent emergence of complex two-dimensional subglacial hydrology models with both ... -
Mathematical modelling of supraglacial meltwater production and drainage
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-30)Mountain glaciers and the polar ice sheets exert a critical control on water resource availability, drive sea level change, and impact global ocean circulation. These and other impacts are controlled by surface meltwater ... -
Modelling Subglacial Hydrology under Future Climate Scenarios in Wilkes Subglacial Basin, Antarctica
(University of Waterloo, 2022-10-21)The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have differing climates, which makes surface melt a significant hydrological source in Greenland but not currently in Antarctica. Due to a changing climate and warming air temperatures, ... -
Modelling the Subglacial Hydrology of Trinity-Wykeham Glaciers of the Northern Canadian Arctic
(University of Waterloo, 2023-11-09)In Canada’s High Arctic region, the melting of glacial ice contributes substantially to the world’s increasing sea levels (Harig and Simons, 2016). Of the icebergs in the region, approximately 62% are discharged by ...
