Insights from observations and modelling into the evolution of superglacial lakes on the Greenland ice sheet
Supraglacial lakes (SGLs) form when runoff (meltwater + rain) pools in depressions on the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS). SGLs can collectively affect seasonal ice sheet flow rates when they drain episodically; although the net impact on flow speed is uncertain. In this thesis: 1) a new model of SGL Ini...
