Journal ArticleDOI
Ocean regulation hypothesis for glacier dynamics in southeast Greenland and implications for ice sheet mass changes
Tavi Murray,K. Scharrer,T. D. James,Stephen Dye,Edward Hanna,Adam Booth,N. Selmes,Adrian Luckman,Anna L.C. Hughes,S. Cook,Philippe Huybrechts +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the acceleration and thinning of southeast Greenland glaciers during the early 2000s was the main contributor that resulted in the doubling of annual discharge from the ice sheet.

Mackey,Luba Kalaydjieva,Sheikh Riazuddin,Chris F. Inglehearn +25 more
TL;DR: It is reported that null mutations in LTBP2 cause primary congenital glaucoma in four consanguineous families from Pakistan and in patients of Gypsy ethnicity, and localization ofLTBP2 in the anterior segment of the eye, at the ciliary body, and particularly the c auxiliary process is confirmed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seawater softening of suture zones inhibits fracture propagation in Antarctic ice shelves.
Bernd Kulessa,Bernd Kulessa,Adam Booth,Martin O'Leary,Daniel McGrath,Edward C. King,Adrian Luckman,Paul R. Holland,Daniela Jansen,Daniela Jansen,Suzanne Bevan,Sarah Thompson,Sarah Thompson,Bryn Hubbard +13 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that fracture detainment is predominantly controlled by enhanced seawater content in suture zones, rather than by enhanced temperature as previously thought, and that interstitial seawater can reduce fracture-driving stress by orders of magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water-Content of Glacier-Ice: Limitations on Estimates from Velocity Analysis of Surface Ground-Penetrating Radar Surveys
TL;DR: A suite of surface ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys have been undertaken on two glaciers, Tsanfleuron Glacier in the European Alps and Bakaninbreen, Svalbard in order to determine their water content variation with depth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Massive subsurface ice formed by refreezing of ice-shelf melt ponds
Bryn Hubbard,Adrian Luckman,David W. Ashmore,Suzanne Bevan,Bernd Kulessa,Peter Kuipers Munneke,Morgane Philippe,Daniela Jansen,Adam Booth,Heidi Sevestre,Jean-Louis Tison,Martin O'Leary,I. C. Rutt +12 more
TL;DR: A massive subsurface ice layer is discovered in an area of intense melting and intermittent ponding on Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctica, found to be ∼10 °C warmer and ∼170 kg m−3 denser than anticipated in the absence of ponding and hitherto used in models of ice-shelf fracture and flow.
