Journal of Glaciology, 2020 Hydrofracturing can enhance the depth to which crevasses propagate and, in some cases, allow full depth crevasse penetration and iceberg detachment.

Crevasse advection increases glacier calving
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 Iceberg calving, the process where icebergs detach from glaciers, remains poorly understood. Moreover, few parameterizations of the calving process can easily be integrated into numerical models to accurately capture observations, resulting in large ...

Journal of Glaciology, 2019 Finely resolved geodetic data provide an opportunity to assess the extent and morphology of crevasses and their change over time. Crevasses have the potential to bias geodetic measurements of elevation and mass change unless they are properly accounted ...

Detection of crevassed areas with minimum geometric information: Vernagtferner case study
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Crevasses pose severe risks for mountaineers and field glaciologists. Smaller cracks between 0.5 and 2 m are still dangerous, but often not visible in medium resolution satellite imagery.

The spatial distribution of potholes in Uusimaa, southern Finland [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1996 It has been assumed, on the basis of the distribution of potholes in the bedrock near eskers, that they were eroded by subglacial meltwaters connected with the formation of eskers.

Annals of Glaciology, 2016 Detailed studies on temporal changes of crevasses and their linkage with glacier dynamics are scarce in the Himalayan context. Observations of temporally changing surficial crevasse patterns and their orientations are suggestive of the processes that ...

Controls on Ice Cliff Distribution and Characteristics on Debris‐Covered Glaciers
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Ice cliff distribution plays a major role in determining the melt of debris‐covered glaciers but its controls are largely unknown. We assembled a data set of 37,537 ice cliffs and determined their characteristics across 86 debris‐covered glaciers within ...

Crevasse initiation and history within the McMurdo Shear Zone, Antarctica
Journal of Glaciology, 2019 While large-scale observations of intensified fracture and rifting can be observed through remote-sensing observations, understanding crevasse initiation may best be achieved with small-scale observations in which crevasses can be directly observed. Here

Automated detection of basal icequakes and discrimination from surface crevassing
Annals of Glaciology, 2019 Icequakes at or near the bed of a glacier have the potential to allow us to investigate the interaction of ice with the underlying till or bedrock. Understanding this interaction is important for studying basal sliding of glaciers and ice streams, a ...
