Glacier Geometry Changes in the Western Shore of Admiralty Bay, King George Island over the Last Decades

open access: yesSensors, 2021
This paper presents changes in the range and thickness of glaciers in Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) No. 128 on King George Island in the period 1956–2015.

Hydraulic impacts of glacier advance over a sediment bed [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A sedimentary sequence of till overlying a gravel aquifer was instrumented with water-pressure transducers prior to a small, anticipated surge of the margin of the glacier Breiðamerkurjökull in Iceland.

Inventory and changes of rock glacier creep speeds in Ile Alatau and Kungöy Ala-Too, northern Tien Shan, since the 1950s

open access: yes, 2021
. Spatio-temporal patterns related to the viscous creep in perennially frozen sediments of rock glaciers in cold mountains have rarely been studied outside the densely populated European Alps.

Debris cover and surface melt at a temperate maritime alpine glacier: Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Melt rates on glaciers are strongly influenced by the presence of supraglacial debris, which can either enhance or reduce ablation relative to bare ice.

An energy-balance model for debris-covered glaciers including heat conduction through the debris layer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Extensive covers of supraglacial debris are often present in glacier ablation areas, and it is essential to assess exactly how the debris affects glacier melt rates.

Implications of climate change on Glacier de la Plaine Morte, Switzerland [PDF]

open access: yesGeographica Helvetica, 2013
Changes in Switzerland's climate are expected to have major impacts on glaciers, the hydrological regime and the natural hazard potential in mountainous regions.

Ice content and interannual water storage changes of an active rock glacier in the dry Andes of Argentina

open access: yes, 2021
. The quantification of volumetric ice and water contents in active rock glaciers is necessary to estimate their role as water stores and contributors to runoff in dry mountain catchments. In the semi-arid to arid Andes of Argentina, active rock glaciers

A distributed energy-balance melt model of an alpine debris-covered glacier [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Distributed energy-balance melt models have rarely been applied to glaciers with extensive supraglacial debris cover. This paper describes the development of a distributed melt model and its application to the debris-covered Miage glacier, western ...

Subglacial drainage processes at a High Arctic polythermal valley glacier [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Dye-tracer experiments undertaken over two summer melt seasons at polythermal John Evans Glacier, Ellesmere Island, Canada, were designed to investigate the character of the subglacial drainage system and its evolution over a melt season. In both summers,

Glacier area changes in Northern Eurasia

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2014
Glaciers are widely recognized as key indicators of climate change. Recent evidence suggests an acceleration of glacier mass loss in several key mountain regions.
