Glacier dynamics near the calving front of Bowdoin Glacier, northwestern Greenland [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology, 2015
To better understand recent rapid recession of marine-terminating glaciers in Greenland, we performed satellite and field observations near the calving front of Bowdoin Glacier, a 3 km wide outlet glacier in northwestern Greenland.

Geometric Controls of Tidewater Glacier Dynamics [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2021
Abstract. Retreat of marine outlet glaciers often initiates depletion of inland ice through dynamic adjustments of the upstream glacier. The local topography of a fjord may promote or inhibit such retreat, and therefore fjord geometry constitutes a critical control on ice sheet mass balance.

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.

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 ...

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.

Quasi-static granular flow of ice mélange [PDF]

, 2018
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.

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.
