Regularized Coulomb Friction Laws for Ice Sheet Sliding: Application to Pine Island Glacier, Antarctica by Joughin, Ian, Smith, Benjamin E., Schoof, Christian G.

“…The choice of the best basal friction law to use in ice‐sheet models remains a source of uncertainty in projections of sea level. The parameters in commonly…”

The Role of Englacial Hydrology in the Filling and Drainage of an Ice‐Dammed Lake, Kaskawulsh Glacier, Yukon, Canada by Bigelow, David G., Flowers, Gwenn E., Schoof, Christian G., Mingo, Laurent D. B., Young, Erik M., Connal, Braden G.

“…Outburst floods from ice‐marginal lakes are poised to become more prevalent in a warming climate. As glaciers thin and tributaries detach, water can be…”

A model for spiral flows in basal ice and the formation of subglacial flutes based on a Reiner-Rivlin rheology for glacial ice by Schoof, Christian G., Clarke, Garry K. C.

“…Flutes are elongated sediment ridges formed at the base of glaciers and ice sheets. In this paper, we show that flutes can be the product of a corkscrew‐like…”

Drainage through subglacial water sheets by Creyts, Timothy T., Schoof, Christian G.

“…Subglacial drainage plays an important role in controlling coupling between glacial ice and underlying bed. Here, we study the flow of water in thin,…”

Modeling channelized and distributed subglacial drainage in two dimensions by Werder, Mauro A., Hewitt, Ian J., Schoof, Christian G., Flowers, Gwenn E.

“…We present a two‐dimensional Glacier Drainage System model (GlaDS) that couples distributed and channelized subglacial water flow. Distributed flow occurs…”

Continental constriction and oceanic ice-cover thickness in a Snowball-Earth scenario by Tziperman, Eli, Abbot, Dorian S., Ashkenazy, Yosef, Gildor, Hezi, Pollard, David, Schoof, Christian G., Schrag, Daniel P.

“…Ice flow over a Snowball ocean was shown in recent years to be capable of very effectively homogenizing ice thickness globally. Previous studies all used local…”

Neural Networks Applied to Estimating Subglacial Topography and Glacier Volume by Clarke, Garry K. C., Berthier, Etienne, Schoof, Christian G., Jarosch, Alexander H.

“…To predict the rate and consequences of shrinkage of the earth’s mountain glaciers and ice caps, it is necessary to have improved regional-scale models of…”

Grounding line movement and ice shelf buttressing in marine ice sheets by Goldberg, D., Holland, D. M., Schoof, C.

“…Understanding the dynamics of marine ice sheets is integral to studying the evolution of the Antarctic ice sheet in both the short and long terms. An important…”
