TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the ice plain in the mouth of Whillans Ice Stream (formerly Ice Stream B), Antarctica, moves by stick-slip motion.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present sub-annual observations (2009-2014) of a major West Antarctic glacier (Pine Island Glacier) and the neighboring ocean, showing that despite a minor, temporary decrease in ice discharge, the basinwide thinning signal did not change.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured geometry, motion, and mass balance from Variegated Glacier, Alaska and found that the motion occurs largely by internal deformation assuming the ice deforms according to the experimental law of Glen.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the possible causes of this deceleration on the basis of their knowledge of the current regional dynamics, and the possible ramifications of such decelerations on future ice stream behaviour.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first aircraft multi-frequency, Polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data acquired over the southwestern Greenland ice sheet was analyzed using the NASA DC-8 aircraft, and it was shown that curvilinear patterns associated with large-scale morphologic features such as crevasses, lakes and streams are observed in the P-, L-and C-band image products.
