Crevasses triggered on Pine Island Glacier by drilling through an exceptional melt layer [PDF]

, 2010
The basic theory of crevasse formation suggests that crevasses initiate at or near the surface. However, due to variations in stress with depth, it has been suggested that it is possible for crevasses to initiate at depths of 10–30m.

Glacier area and the variability of glacier change

, 2019
This is the preprint of a letter that is under review in the Journal of Glaciology. The abstract is as follows: Large-scale remote-sensing data on ice loss in the Himalaya and other glacierised regions indicate that the differences in glacier area do not significantly influence the glacier-to-glacier variability of the thinning rate. An analysis of the

Feedbacks and mechanisms affecting the global sensitivity of glaciers to climate change [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2014
Mass loss by glaciers has been an important contributor to sea level rise in the past, and is projected to contribute a substantial fraction of total sea level rise during the 21st century.

Representing moisture fluxes and phase changes in glacier debris cover using a reservoir approach [PDF]

, 2014
Due to the complexity of treating moisture in supraglacial debris, surface energy balance models to date have neglected moisture infiltration and phase changes in the debris layer.

GLACIER IDENTIFICATION FROM LANDSAT8 OLI IMAGERY USING DEEP U-NET [PDF]

ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2020
Glacier is one of the clearest signal of climate change, and its changes have important effects on regional climate and water resources. Glacier identification is the basic of glacial changes research.

Climatic controls of glacier distribution and glacier changes in Austria [PDF]

Annals of Glaciology, 2011
AbstractIn this study we aim to connect glacier extent in 1998 with general climatic conditions, and glacier changes between 1969 and 1998 with climate change in the Austrian Alps. The investigations are based on two complete glacier inventories, a homogenized gridded precipitation dataset and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts re ...

Influence of subglacial drainage system evolution on glacier surface motion: Haut Glacier d'Arolla, Switzerland [PDF]

, 2002
The relationship between the evolution of subglacial drainage system morphology and spatial patterns of glacier surface velocity was investigated using dye tracing experiments and ground surveying throughout the 1995 melt season at Haut Glacier d'Arolla,

CHANGES IN THICKNESS OF PERETOLCHIN GLACIER (EASTERN SAYAN)

InterCarto. InterGIS, 2017
For the first time, the ice volume of Peretolchina Glacier in the mountain range of MunkuSardyk (Eastern Sayan) has been estimated using various models and results of georadar profiling.

Monitoring the Surface Elevation Changes of a Monsoon Temperate Glacier with Repeated UAV Surveys, Mainri Mountains, China

Remote Sensing, 2022
Due to the deep valleys, steep mountains and the influence of the Indian monsoon on the Mainri Mountains (Yunnan Province, China), it is difficult to estimate glacier change from microwave and optical remote sensing. To bridge the gap between low-quality

A comparison of glacier melt on debris-covered glaciers in the northern and southern Caucasus [PDF]

, 2011
The glacier coverage in the Caucasus Mountains underwent considerable changes during the last decades. In some regions, the observed reduction in glacier area is comparable to those in the European Alps and the extent of supra-glacial debris increased on
