Investigating the Hydrology of Ice Shelves, and Its Implications for Ice-Shelf Stability
Studies show that surface lakes that form on ice shelves can promote ice-shelf instability, which has consequences for wider ice-sheet stability. Meltwater on ice shelves will become increasingly pervasive due to climate change and it is therefore crucial that we improve understanding of ice-shelf h...
