Global-scale variability of glacier velocity and mass loss across terminus environments [PDF]

Nature Communications
The environment in which a glacier terminates can strongly influence its behaviour, stability and future evolution, yet the relationship between terminus type and glacier dynamics at the global scale remains poorly constrained. Here we present a globally-

Investigating the Intra-Annual Dynamics of Kunlun Glacier in the West Kunlun Mountains, China, From Ascending and Descending Sentinel-1 SAR Observations

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2022
Monitoring glacier dynamics is an effective approach for quantifying the response of the glaciers in cold arid mountainous areas to climate change. However, the quantification of short-term flow dynamics of the mountain glaciers in cold-dry climates has ...

Multi-decadal basal slip enhancement at Saskatchewan Glacier, Canadian Rocky Mountains

Journal of Glaciology, 2023
Glacier motion responds dynamically to changing meltwater inputs, but the multi-decadal response of basal sliding to climate remains poorly constrained due to its sensitivity across multiple timescales.

Estimation of glacier dynamics of the major glaciers of Bhutan using geospatial techniques

Journal of Water and Climate Change, 2023
The purpose of this study was to determine the glacier displacement, velocity, and thickness of seven major glaciers of Bhutan and predicted potential glacier lake formation site with its depth.

Sensitivity analysis of a King George Island outlet glacier, South Shetlands, Antarctica [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2023
The Lange glacier is an outlet glacier situated in the Admiralty Bay, King George Island, Peninsula Antarctica. It retreated about 1 km since the 1950s.

Present dynamics and future prognosis of a slowly surging glacier [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2011
Glacier surges are a well-known example of an internal dynamic oscillation whose occurrence is not a direct response to the external climate forcing, but whose character (i.e.

Terminus change of Kaskawulsh Glacier, Yukon, under a warming climate: retreat, thinning, slowdown and modified proglacial lake geometry

Journal of Glaciology, 2023
Links between proglacial lakes and glacier dynamics are poorly understood but are necessary to predict how mountain glaciers will react to a warmer, wetter climate, where such lakes are expected to increase both in number and volume.

Explaining mass balance and retreat dichotomies at Taku and Lemon Creek Glaciers, Alaska

Journal of Glaciology, 2020
We reanalyzed mass balance records at Taku and Lemon Creek Glaciers to better understand the relative roles of hypsometry, local climate and dynamics as mass balance drivers. Over the 1946–2018 period, the cumulative mass balances diverged.

Variability of Glacier Velocity and the Influencing Factors in the Muztag-Kongur Mountains, Eastern Pamir Plateau

Remote Sensing, 2023
Glacier velocity is the key to understanding the nature of glaciers. Its variation plays an important role in glacier dynamics, mass balance, and climate change.

Committed retreat: controls on glacier disequilibrium in a warming climate

Journal of Glaciology, 2018
The widespread retreat of mountain glaciers is a striking emblem of recent climate change. Yet mass-balance observations indicate that many glaciers are out of equilibrium with current climate, meaning that observed retreats do not show the full response
