Local topography increasingly influences the mass balance of a retreating cirque glacier [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 Local topographically driven processes – such as wind drifting, avalanching, and shading – are known to alter the relationship between the mass balance of small cirque glaciers and regional climate.

A mathematical analysis of glacier surges. [PDF]
, 1989 . This paper describes the phenomena of glacier surges and presents a mathematical model based on realistic descriptions of glacier physics, which purports to describe the main features of the flow.

Journal of Glaciology, 1983 AbstractIsotropic points are structurally stable features of any complicated field of stress or strain-rate, and therefore will almost always be present on the surface of a glacier. A given isotropic point for strain-rate will belong to one of six different classes, depending on the pattern (lemon, star, or monstar) of principal directions and the ...

Manifestations and mechanisms of the Karakoram glacier Anomaly
Nature Geoscience, 2019 Global-scale glacier shrinkage is one of the most prominent signs of ongoing climatic change. However, important differences in glacier response exist at the regional scale, and evidence has accumulated that one particular region stands out: the ...

Quasi-static granular flow of ice mélange [PDF]
, 1936 We use Landsat 8 imagery to generate ice mélange velocity fields at Greenland’s three most productive outlet glaciers: Jakobshavn Isbræ, Helheim Glacier, and Kangerdlugssuaq Glacier.

Worldwide Assessment of National Glacier Monitoring and Future Perspectives
Mountain Research and Development, 2019 It is widely accepted that glaciers are retreating throughout the world and that their decline causes serious impacts on many societies. Knowledge of glacier distribution and quantification of glacier changes is crucial to assessing the impact of glacier

Hydrological Investigations at Biafo Glacier, Karakoram Range, Himalaya; an Important Source of Water For the Indus River [PDF]
, 1989 Over 80% of the flow of the Upper Indus River is derived from less than 20% of its area: essentially from zones of heavy snowfall and glacierized basins above 3500 m elevation.

Tributary Glacier Surges: An Exceptional Concentration at Panmah Glacier, Karakoram Himalaya [PDF]
, 2007 Four tributaries of Panmah Glacier have surged in less than a decade, three in quick succession between 2001 and 2005. Since 1985, 13 surges have been recorded in the Karakoram Himalaya, more than in any comparable period since the 1850s.

Ecological Indicators, 2021 Carbon sequestration levels in lakes are often underestimated despite being vital for the comprehensive analysis of CO2 budget and significantly influencing inland lakes in arid areas. In this study, the eddy covariance (EC) technique was used to measure

Geographical variability of bacterial communities of cryoconite holes of Andean glaciers
Scientific Reports, 2023 Cryoconite holes, ponds full of melting water with sediment on the bottom, are hotspots of biodiversity on glacier surfaces and host dynamic micro-ecosystems.
