Glacier Lakes in Antarctica: Drainage, Dynamics, Evolution and Refilling

The GLADDER project is an initiative to understand the complex behaviors of subglacial lake systems in Antarctica to set the foundation to assess their impact on ice sheet and ice shelf dynamics and stability. At the heart of this project is the enhancement and subsequent application of the Glacier Drainage System (GlaDS) model; an advanced tool designed to simulate the subglacial drainage system and enhanced to reproduce the intricate processes governing subglacial lake dynamics beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet.
