💡 Why this matters: Accurately quantifying subglacial hydrology is essential for understanding ice-sheet behavior, freshwater fluxes, and carbon cycling — all of which influence projections of sea-level rise and ocean-climate interactions.
Subglacial lakes beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet play a critical role in ice dynamics and freshwater and carbon exchange with the Southern Ocean — but past studies typically assumed these lakes had fixed boundaries over time. Our new work challenges that assumption.
Evolving lake outlines of active subglacial lakes along lower Mercer and Whillans ice streams, West Antarctica.
New GRL paper on the dynamic nature of Antarctic active subglacial lakes that have boundaries that change shape, grow, shrink, or even migrate. We show stationary lake outlines can underestimate cumulative water volume change by up to ~100% and overestimate lakebed area.
