Glacier [PDF]

open access: possiblepostmedieval: a journal of medieval cultural studies, 2013
This essay views glaciers as networks of non/human things that constantly, and slowly, collaborate. Early modern Arctic travel narratives challenge ontological separations between the human and the icescape, demonstrating how glaciers compose bodies and passages, fears and desires, stories and dreams – and how they continue to do so today, even if we ...

Waves on glaciers

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1982
This paper is an attempt at a mathematical synopsis of the theory of wave motions on glaciers. These comprise surface waves (analogous to water waves) and seasonal waves (more like compression waves). Surface waves have been often treated and are well understood, but seasonal waves, while observed, do not seem to have attracted any theoretical ...

Glacier Fluctuations and Simple Glacier Models

2020
This chapter details the formulation and analysis of simple mathematical models that describe the response of glaciers to mass balance changes. The primary focus is on glacier length fluctuations. Key aspects studied include the response time and sensitivity of different glaciers to changes in climate, and the use of models to reconstruct past ...

Glacier Studies of the McCall Glacier, Alaska

ARCTIC, 1959
Describes in detail this glacier in the Romanzof Mts., Brooks Range, northern Alaska, studied during the McCall Glacier Project, 1957-58. The crescent-shaped body of ice, approx. 8 km long, 640 m wide and 1,450 m high, has three cirques and a well defined drainage basin.

Glacier Runoff Observations at Sholes Glacier

2015
Glacier runoff is a major source of streamflow during the summer low-flow season and mitigates both low flow and high water temperatures. Measurement of ablation and discharge immediately below Sholes Glacier quantifies the volume of glacier runoff to the North Fork Nooksack River, which provided more than 40 % of total river runoff on 21 days in ...

Thinning of Glaciers

2011
A glacier in equilibrium with the climate is characterized by a given geometry. This geometry results from a balance between snow accumulation, ablation (mainly by melting), and the flow that redistributes the mass accumulated at high elevations toward the lower parts of the glacier. If external forcings (climate) or internal forcings (ice flow) change,
