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 ... -
Investigation of intra-annual glacier velocity and seasonality of White and Thompson Glaciers, Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-03)The Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) is undergoing rapid atmospheric warming at rates that are twice that of the global average and are greater than any other time in the past four millennia. Consequently, changes in ... -
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 ...
