      Patton, Henry; Hubbard, Alun Lloyd; Andreassen, Karin; Auriac, Amandine; Whitehouse, Pippa L.; Stroeven, Arjen P.; Shackleton, Calvin; Winsborrow, Monica; Heyman, Jakob; Hall, Adrian M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-14)
      The Eurasian ice sheet complex (EISC) was the third largest ice mass during the Last Glacial Maximum with a span of over 4500 km and responsible for around 20 m of eustatic sea-level lowering. Whilst recent terrestrial and marine empirical insights have improved understanding of the chronology, pattern and rates of retreat of this vast ice sheet, a concerted attempt to model the deglaciation of the ...
    • Distinct modes of meltwater drainage and landform development beneath the last Barents Sea ice sheet 

      Shackleton, Calvin; Patton, Henry; Winsborrow, Monica; Esteves, Mariana; Bjarnadòttir, Lilja Rùn; Andreassen, Karin Marie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-18)
      The flow of glacial ice is impacted by basal meltwater drainage systems that fluctuate on a continuum from distributed, high-pressure environments to channelized, lower pressure networks. Understanding the long-term development of dominant drainage modes and impacts on ice flow and landform development is a crucial step in predicting palaeo and contemporary ice-mass response to changes in ...
    • Ice‐margin retreat and grounding‐zone dynamics during initial deglaciation of the Storfjordrenna Ice Stream, western Barents Sea 

      Shackleton, Calvin; Winsborrow, Monica; Andreassen, Karin; Lucchi, Renata Giulia; Bjarnadóttir, Lilja Rún (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-11)
      Processes occurring at the grounding zone of marine terminating ice streams are crucial to marginal stability, influencing ice discharge over the grounding‐line, and thereby regulating ice‐sheet mass balance. We present new marine geophysical data sets over a ~30×40 km area from a former ice‐stream grounding zone in Storfjordrenna, a large cross‐shelf trough in the western Barents Sea, south of ...
    • Retreat patterns and dynamics of the Sentralbankrenna glacial system, central Barents Sea 

      Esteves, Mariana da Silveira Ramos; Bjarnadóttir, Lilja Rún; Winsborrow, Monica; Shackleton, Calvin; Andreassen, Karin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-26)
      The Barents Sea Ice Sheet (BSIS) is a good palaeo-analogue for the present day West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Both were marine-based ice sheets, particularly vulnerable to ocean warming and sea-level rise. Understanding the BSIS ice dynamics and patterns of retreat since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) is useful in developing our knowledge of spatial and temporal variations during marine-based ice sheet ...
    • Subglacial hydrology of the Fennoscandian and Barents Sea ice sheets 

      Shackleton, Calvin (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2019-06-11)
      The drainage of meltwater beneath ice sheets exerts a fundamental control on ice flow variability, by regulating the lubrication of the ice-bed interface, and determining subglacial sediment shear strengths. This thesis investigates meltwater drainage of the Fennoscandian and Barents Sea ice sheets through the combined application of geomorphologically based reconstruction and modelling of subglacial ...
    • Subglacial water storage and drainage beneath the Fennoscandian and Barents Sea ice sheets 

      Shackleton, Calvin; Patton, Henry; Hubbard, Alun Lloyd; Winsborrow, Monica; Kingslake, Jonathan; Esteves, Mariana da Silveira Ramos; Andreassen, Karin; Greenwood, Sarah L. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-17)
      Subglacial hydrology modulates how ice sheets flow, respond to climate, and deliver meltwater, sediment and nutrients to proglacial and marine environments. Here, we investigate the development of subglacial lakes and drainage networks beneath the Fennoscandian and Barents Sea ice sheets over the Late Weichselian. Utilizing an established coupled climate/ice flow model, we calculate high-resolution, ...
    • A time-transgressive perspective of glacial erosion and meltwater beneath the Eurasian ice sheet 

      Patton, Henry Jared; Hubbard, Alun Lloyd; Heyman, Jakob; Alexandropoulou, Nikolitsa; Lasabuda, Amando P. E.; Stroeven, Arjen P; Hall, Adrian; Winsborrow, Monica Caroline Mackay; Sugden, David A.; Kleman, Johan; Shackleton, Calvin; Da Silveira Ramos Esteves, Mariana; Bjarnadóttir, Lilja Rún; Andreassen, Karin Marie (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2023-08)
      The efficacy and controls governing glacial erosion over geological timescales are intricately linked yet remain poorly understood and contended. By assimilating geophysical data with modelling of the Eurasian Ice Sheet - the third largest Quaternary ice mass that spanned 49°N - 82°N - we decipher its erosional footprint during the last ~110 ka glacial cycle. Our results demonstrate extreme ...
