Ice‐Dynamical Glacier Evolution Modeling—A Review
Reviews of Geophysics, 2022 AbstractGlaciers play a crucial role in the Earth System: they are important water suppliers to lower‐lying areas during hot and dry periods, and they are major contributors to the observed present‐day sea‐level rise. Glaciers can also act as a source of natural hazards and have a major touristic value.

Fundamentals of glacier dynamics [PDF]
Geomorphology, 2001 Glaciers form when snow melts and refreezes, or is compressed, to form ice. Spreading under their own weight, they flow seaward, channeled along preferred routes by the shape or composition of the underlying bedrock. Though we don't know why, some ice streams flow rapidly within slower‐moving ice in Greenland and Antarctica.

Flow dynamics of an accumulation basin: a case study of upper Kahiltna Glacier, Mount McKinley, Alaska [PDF]
, 2012 We interpreted flow dynamics of the Kahiltna Pass Basin accumulation zone on Mount McKinley, Alaska, USA, using 40, 100 and 900 MHz ground-penetrating radar profiles and GPS surface velocity measurements.

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

Journal of Glaciology, 2020 Marine-terminating glaciers on the Antarctic Peninsula (AP) have retreated, accelerated and thinned in response to climate change in recent decades. Ocean warming has been implicated as a trigger for these changes in glacier dynamics, yet little data ...

Terminus dynamics at an advancing glacier: Taku Glacier, Alaska [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2009 AbstractTaku Glacier, Alaska, USA, is currently in the advance stage of the tidewater glacier cycle. We investigated the near-terminus dynamics by measuring surface velocities, surface elevation changes, ice thickness and ablation. Velocities vary on sub-daily, diurnal, seasonal and interannual timescales.

Satellite-observed surging dynamics of North Kunchhang Glacier I in the Eastern Karakoram [PDF]
The CryosphereFrequent glacier surges are a distinctive characteristic of Karakoram glaciers, with their occurrence increasing recently, significantly impacting glacier morphology and dynamics.

Melt regimes, internal stratigraphy, and flow dynamics of three glaciers in the Alaska Range [PDF]
, 2012 We used ground-penetrating radar (GPR), GPS and glaciochemistry to evaluate melt regimes and ice depths, important variables for mass-balance and ice-volume studies, of Upper Yentna Glacier, Upper Kahiltna Glacier and the Mount Hunter ice divide, Alaska.

Meltwater Intrusions Reveal Mechanisms for Rapid Submarine Melt at a Tidewater Glacier [PDF]
, 2019 Submarine melting has been implicated as a driver of glacier retreat and sea level rise, but to date melting has been difficult to observe and quantify. As a result, melt rates have been estimated from parameterizations that are largely unconstrained by ...
