Exceptional thinning through the entire altitudinal range of Mont-Blanc glaciers during the 2021/22 mass balance year

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology
Widespread glacier losses have been observed in most glaciated regions on Earth during recent decades, with a typical pattern of strong thinning in their lower reaches and limited elevation changes in their accumulation areas.

The Glacier Changes in the Alps From the GRACE and GRACE Follow‐On Missions (2002–2023)

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract In this paper, time‐variable gravity field data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and GRACE Follow‐On (GRACE‐FO) missions are used to quantify glacier mass changes in the Alps from 2002 to 2023. We employ a new method that utilizes the vertical surface displacement data to correct the glacial isostatic adjustment and ...

Impact of Interfacial Friction at the Ice‐Bed Boundary on Glacier Sliding

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Current theories for describing glacier sliding over hard beds assume that basal drag is entirely due to normal forces acting on meter‐scale bed roughness and neglect tangential friction at the ice‐bed interface. However, this interfacial friction is likely to account for a significant proportion of basal drag in the presence of basal debris ...

Glacier Surges Controlled by the Close Interplay Between Subglacial Friction and Drainage

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 129, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract The flow of glaciers and ice sheets is largely influenced by friction at the ice‐bed interface that can trigger rapid changes in glacier motion ranging from seasonal velocity variations to cyclic surge instabilities or even devastating glacier collapse.

Mapping Glacier Structure in Inaccessible Areas From Turning Seismic Sources Into a Dense Seismic Array

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 51, Issue 11, 16 June 2024.
Abstract Understanding glaciers structural heterogeneity is crucial for assessing their fate. Yet, places where structure changes are strong, such as crevasses fields, are often inaccessible for direct instrumentation. To overcome this limitation, we introduce an innovative technique that transforms seismic sources, here generated by crevasses, into ...

Seasonal glacier motion variations and underlying hydro-mechanical processes at the Argentiere Glacier, French Alps

open access: yes
Abstract. Subglacial hydrology controls basal sliding of hard-bedded glaciers by modulating basal drag through changes in ice–bed separation. Yet, the underlying mechanisms that control ice–bed separation and its links with basal friction remain poorly understood.
