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.

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.

Glacier [PDF]

postmedieval: 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 ...

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.

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,

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.
