Controls on glacial kettle morphology Open
Glacial kettles are surficial depressions that form in formerly glaciated terrain when buried stagnant ice melts within pro‐glacial sediments, often deposited by meltwater streams. Kettles, like other glacial landforms, provide insight int…

Nearshore ice complex breakup is controlled by a balance between thermal and mechanical processes Open
Shore ice is an important facet of cold‐climate coastal geomorphology yet is generally understudied in comparison to other aspects such as nearshore hydrodynamics. Climate change is resulting in more dynamic shore ice regimes (i.e., shorte…

Coastal Bluff Evolution in Response to a Rapid Rise in Surface Water Level Open
The water level in Lake Michigan began rising in 2013. Historically, erosion of the bluffs along the shoreline increases when water levels rise and remain high, beginning at the toe and propagating upslope, potentially damaging infrastruct…

The role of permafrost on the morphology of an MIS 3 moraine from the southern Laurentide Ice Sheet Open
The Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) represents the single largest contributor to global sea level during the late Pleistocene glacial-interglacial cycle. Fluctuations of global sea level prior to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; 26–19 ka) are wel…
