Inferring subglacial hydrology from investigations of supraglacial lake drainages and meltwater plumes at Store Glacier, West Greenland
… loss comes from dynamic ice loss from tidewater glaciers. Tidewater glaciers each have unique subglacial drainage systems and discharge meltwater into adjacent fjords differently. However, studies of the subglacial hydrology of individual tidewater glaciers have been limited, largely due to the …

Constraining calving dynamics of marine-terminating glaciers: Developing 4D data of Store Glacier, Greenland, from repeat UAV photography
… Ice Sheet’s (GISs) marine-terminating outlet glaciers have shown patterns of swift retreat and thinning, but the mechanism of calving, which controls this loss, is still not fully constrained. This research uses UAV-borne remote sensing data to analyse the calving events of Store Glacier, west …

Connect Store: A fully coupled 3D model of ice flow, calving, subglacial hydrology and ice-ocean interactions applied to Store Glacier, Greenland
… ice-calving-subglacial-hydrology-plume system at Store Glacier, a large, fast-flowing tidewater outlet glacier on the west coast of Greenland. Understanding these large outlet glaciers is critical to being able to accurately predict the future evolution of the Greenland Ice Sheet. This study …

Investigating fast flow of the Greenland Ice Sheet
… understood, and parameterised processes of glacier dynamics due to a paucity of direct observation. To better understand these processes in the wake of a changing climate, novel in-situ geophysical experiments were undertaken on Store Glacier in west Greenland to quantify rates of englacial …

Fibre-optic borehole observations and numerical modelling of complex ice-sheet thermodynamics
… (>500 m a‾¹) marine-terminating Sermeq Kujalleq (Store Glacier) at the western margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet. This reveals hitherto unappreciated complexity in the processes behind fast ice-sheet motion. I observe substantial but isolated strain heating ~220 m beneath the surface within …

Remote sensing of rapidly draining supraglacial lakes on the Greenland Ice Sheet
… Paakitsoq and marine-terminating Store Glacier regions of west Greenland to investigate the incidence of rapid lake drainage in summer 2014. The validation and application of the FAST algorithm show that lake areas and volumes (using a physically-based method) can be calculated …

UAV-based investigations into the hydrology and dynamics of the Greenland Ice Sheet
… dynamics at a fast-flowing, marine terminating glacier in West Greenland. I first describe the development of a low- cost UAV suitable for deriving ice sheet velocity fields from Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry. In order to geolocate products without using ground control, image locations …
