Distribution and dynamics of Greenland subglacial lakes

Distribution and dynamics of Greenland subglacial lakes

Subglacial lakes can influence basal hydrology and ice flow in Antarctica, but are poorly constrained in Greenland. Here the authors provide the first ice sheet-wide inventory of subglacial lakes beneath GrIS, including 54 uncharted lakes.
