Antarctic 20th Century Accumulation Changes Based on Regional Climate Model Simulations by Klaus Dethloff, Ksenia Glushak, Annette Rinke, Dörthe Handorf

“…The simulated P-E pattern is in qualitative agreement with glaciological estimates. The estimated (P-E) trends demonstrate surfacemass accumulation increase at the West Antarctic coasts and reductions in parts of East Antarctica. …”

Assessing the suitability of sites near Pine Island Glacier for subglacial bedrock drilling aimed at detecting Holocene retreat–readvance by J. S. Johnson, J. Woodward, I. Nesbitt, K. Winter, S. Campbell, K. A. Nichols, R. A. Venturelli, S. Braddock, B. M. Goehring, B. Hall, D. H. Rood, G. Balco, G. Balco

“…We use an ice sheet model and field data – geological observations, glaciological observations and bedrock samples from nunataks, and ground-penetrating radar from subglacial ridges – to rate each site against four key criteria: (i) presence of ridges extending below the ice sheet, (ii) likelihood of increased exposure of those ridges if the grounding line was inboard of present, (iii) suitability of bedrock for drilling and geochemical analysis, and (iv) accessibility for aircraft and drilling operations. …”

Physically based modelling of glacier evolution under climate change in the tropical Andes by J. D. Mackay, J. D. Mackay, N. E. Barrand, D. M. Hannah, E. Potter, E. Potter, N. Montoya, W. Buytaert

“…The model is evaluated against available glaciological and geodetic mass balance observations to assess the potential for using the modelling workflow to simulate tropical glacier evolution over decadal timescales. …”
