Late Quaternary ice-ocean interactions in central West Greenland
A greater knowledge of the interactions between the Greenland Ice Sheet and climate is critical to understanding the possible impacts of future global warming, including ice sheet contribution to global sea-level rise and perturbations to ocean circulation. Recent acceleration, thinning and retreat …

The influence of topography on ice-ocean interactions in coastal Antarctica
Interactions between various water masses and ice shelves along the Antarctic coastline impact the global climate and sea level. This thesis focuses on how geometric features such as troughs and fast ice affect cross-shelf exchange in dense water formation regions of the Antarctic continental …

Ice-ocean interactions beneath the north-western Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica
Basal melting of ice shelves is causing accelerating mass loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet, yet the oceanographic processes which drive this are rarely observed. This thesis uses new observations from phase sensitive radar and moored oceanographic instruments to describe the processes which drive …

Where the Ice Ends: Calving and Ice-Ocean Interactions at Helheim Glacier and Beyond
Continued mass loss of the Greenland Ice Sheet has contributed to sea level rise at a rate of 0.8 mm year$^{-1}$ since 2002, with ice dynamics accounting for $66 \pm 8$\% of the mass loss signal. One of the main components of this dynamic mass loss signal is iceberg calving, the detachment of ice …

Air-ice-ocean interactions under a summer Arctic cyclone: observations from two ice-tethered profilers
An Arctic cyclone passed over two Ice-Tethered Profilers (ITPs) in the Western Arctic Ocean on 28 July 2020. Each ITP measured ocean conditions from 7 to 750m depth, collecting data immediately before and after the storm that is used to quantify changes in ocean conditions. Prestorm conditions were …

Connect Store: A fully coupled 3D model of ice flow, calving, subglacial hydrology and ice-ocean interactions applied to Store Glacier, Greenland
… full-Stokes, open-source model Elmer/Ice to investigate the coupled dynamics of the 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 …

In situ temperature monitoring of the McMurdo Ice Shelf and ice shelf cavity by fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing
Ice shelf basal melt rates represent an important yet challenging to measure process. Basal melt rate measurements can assist to further understand ice-ocean interactions. In November 2011, two mooring containing fiber-optic cables for distributed temperature sensing (DTS) were installed at …
