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 ... -
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 ... -
A Spatial Analysis of the Nansen Ice Shelf Basal Channel, Using Ice Penetrating Radar
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-21)The stability of floating ice shelves in the Antarctic is of great concern as their current thinning and future collapse will release mass from grounded ice sheets into the ocean, contributing to sea level rise. The study ...
