Rapid accelerations of Antarctic Peninsula outlet glaciers driven by surface melt

Surface meltwater is known to influence the dynamics of some glaciers and the Greenland ice sheet. Here, the authors have identified the first examples of the drainage of surface meltwater to the bed of outlet glaciers on the Antarctic Peninsula that trigger large and rapid accelerations of ice flow...
