A general theory of glacier surges
Journal of Glaciology, 2019 We present the first general theory of glacier surging that includes both temperate and polythermal glacier surges, based on coupled mass and enthalpy budgets.

A new model for global glacier change and sea-level rise
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2015 The anticipated retreat of glaciers around the globe will pose far-reaching challenges to the management of fresh water resources and significantly contribute to sea-level rise within the coming decades.

The second Chinese glacier inventory: data, methods and results
Journal of Glaciology, 2015 The second Chinese glacier inventory was compiled based on 218 Landsat TM/ETM+ scenes acquired mainly during 2006-10. The widely used band ratio segmentation method was applied as the first step in delineating glacier outlines, and then intensive manual ...

Geometric Controls on Tidewater Glacier Retreat in Central Western Greenland
Journal of Geophysical Research F: Earth Surface, 2018 Glacier terminus changes are one of the hallmarks of worldwide glacier change, and thus, there is significant focus on the controls and limits to retreat in the literature.

Bighorn sheep associations: understanding tradeoffs of sociality and implications for disease transmission [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Sociality directly influences mating success, survival rates, and disease, but ultimately likely evolved for its fitness benefits in a challenging environment.

Global glacier change in the 21st century: Every increase in temperature matters
Science, 2023 Glacier mass loss affects sea level rise, water resources, and natural hazards. We present global glacier projections, excluding the ice sheets, for shared socioeconomic pathways calibrated with data for each glacier.
