Dynamics of the spatiotemporal velocity of glaciers on the eastern slope of Mount Gongga, China, under climate change

open access: yesAdvances in Climate Change Research
The quantitative assessment of glacier flow velocity dynamics plays a pivotal role in understanding its response mechanisms concerning climate warming. This work provides a systematic quantitative assessment of the deceleration status of glaciers in this

Long-term analysis of surface temperature trends and dynamics deglaciation of the Eidembreen glacier (Svalbard) based on Landsat data for 1984–2025 [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
Climate warming in the Arctic leads to accelerated glacier retreat and the formation of extensive deglaciated surfaces, substantially altering glacier–periglacial interactions. On the western coast of Svalbard, retreat of the polythermal Eidembreen

A foundation of ecology rediscovered: 100 years of succession on the William S. Cooper plots in Glacier Bay, Alaska [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Understanding plant community succession is one of the original pursuits of ecology, forming some of the earliest theoretical frameworks in the field. Much of this was built on the long-term research of William S. Cooper, who established a permanent plot

Dynamic difference between surging and normal glaciers in the context of climate change: Insights from multi-source remote sensing

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: Yunfeng Peak region, High Mountain Asia Study focus: High Mountain Asia is the most glacier-rich region outside the polar areas and plays a critical role in alleviating water resource pressures across Asia. Understanding the complexities of

Southern Ocean warming: Increase in basal melting and grounded ice loss [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We apply a global finite element sea ice/ice shelf/ocean model (FESOM) to the Antarctic marginal seas to analyze projections of ice shelf basal melting in a warmer climate.

Toward an imminent extinction of Colombian glaciers? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This study documents the current state of glacier coverage in the Colombian Andes, the glacier shrinkage over the twentieth century and discusses indication of their disappearance in the coming decades.

Glacier dynamics

open access: yes, 2016
A model is proposed for the study of general two-dimensional 'polythermal' glacial ice flows. It consists of equations of conservation of mass, momentum and energy together with a constitutive relation between stress and strain rate and a full set of boundary conditions.

Investigating seasonal velocity variations of selected glaciers in high mountain asia

open access: yesScience of Remote Sensing
Glacier velocity is a sensitive indicator of mass balance and is key to understanding how glaciers respond to climate change. Monitoring glacier velocity at high temporal resolutions enables a better understanding of the drivers of glacier dynamics ...

Distributed acoustic sensing of microseismic sources and wave propagation in glaciated terrain

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
In this study, Walter and colleagues deploy a 1 km long fiber optics cable on a glacier surface. Via the use of distributed acoustic sensing, the authors are capable of monitoring glacier dynamics and Alpine mass movements.
