Reexamining the Deglaciation of the Huron Erie Lobe Through Subglacial Meltwater-Derived Landforms in Indiana, USA
Our current understanding surrounding deglaciation of the Huron-Erie Lobe (HEL) of the Laurentide Ice Sheet in Indiana is changing due to the discovery of meltwater-derived landforms thought to be a new variation of tunnel channels. These landform...

Palimpsest Meltwater Landscape as an Analog for Future Ice Sheet Deglaciation
Understanding the deglaciation of modern ice sheets and glaciers is crucial in the face of global climate change. Meltwater transport through subglacial plumbing is a key component of deglaciation, but direct observation is obscured by the presenc...

Insights into the Subglacial Hydrology of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet from Unique Meltwater Landforms
The subglacial hydrology of ice sheets is widely known to play a role in controlling glacial dynamics, but the presence of overlying ice prevents widespread direct observation and study. Studying past ice sheets allows for easy access to what was ...

Large-Scale GLOF Landforms Associated with the Cordilleran Ice Sheet and their Implications for Deglaciation
New LiDAR data covering the Southern Fraser Plateau in British Columbia revealed a number of landforms associated with large-scale flooding, including dry cataracts, spillways, and large-scale bars. Additionally, a variety of paleo-lake indicators...
