Fig. 2: Ice surface elevation change over subglacial lakes.

From: Detection of 85 new active subglacial lakes in Antarctica from a decade of CryoSat-2 data

Fig. 2

Three-month mean time series of ice surface elevation change (dz) over 13 of the 85 subglacial lakes from this study: a Borchgrevink_198, b King Baudouin East_3, c Mellor_112, d Totten_52, e Moscow University_44, f Cook West_67, g David_180, h David_80, i Byrd_10, j Mill_165, k Scott_12, l Whillans_180, n Support Force_3. Subglacial lake elevation change (blue lines) plotted over elevation change from non-subglacial lake regions (light green lines). m Results over the previously studied Thwaites 124 subglacial lake for comparison26,28. Cumulative error is shown by the shaded area around each time series, and elevation change is relative to the start of each time series in October 2010. Phases of filling and draining for each subglacial lake are indicated by grey dashed lines on the timeseries plots, and the surface elevation change maps for these phases is also shown above. No data areas are indicated by grey pixels in the elevation change maps.
