Modern glacier dynamics in Mt. Tsambagarav in the Mongolian Altai Mountain Range
Mongolian Geoscientist, 2020 This study presents the modern glacier dynamics in Mt. Tsambagarav in the Mongolian Altai Mountain Range over the last four decades. This is the first review of this type of glacier dynamics for this massif. Changes in glacier area in Mt. Tsambagarav are

Journal of Glaciology, 2021 We calibrate the calving parameterisation implemented in the Open Global Glacier Model via two methods (velocity constraint and surface mass balance (SMB) constraint) and assess the impact of accounting for frontal ablation on the ice volume estimate of ...

Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringGlaciers have experienced a global trend of recession within the past century. Quantification of glacier variations using satellite imagery has been of great interest due to the importance of glaciers as freshwater resources and as indicators of climate ...

A macroscopic approach to glacier dynamics [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2003 AbstractA simple approach to glacier dynamics is explored in which there is postulated to be a relationship between area and volume with three parameters: the time for area to respond to changes in volume, a thickness scale, and an area characterizing the condition of the initial state.This approach gives a good fit to the measurements of cumulative ...

Journal of Glaciology, 2022 Upernavik Isstrøm, a marine glacier undergoing rapid retreat, is simulated by forcing a numerical model with ocean-driven melt. A review of processes driving retreat led us to hypothesize that a glacier undergoing rapid retreat may be less sensitive to ...

Little Ice Age climate reconstruction from ensemble reanalysis of Alpine glacier fluctuations [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 Mountain glaciers sample a combination of climate fields – temperature, precipitation and radiation – by accumulation and melting of ice. Flow dynamics acts as a transfer function that maps volume changes to a length response of the glacier ...

On the dynamics of rock glaciers
, 2020 Mountain permafrost is currently enduring substantial modifications due to climate change. A drastic increase in the creep rates of rock glaciers and the onset of rock glacier destabilization have been observed at the regional scale since the 1990s, concurrent with ground temperatures warming and widespread ice loss.

Twentieth-Century Glacier Change at Svartisen, Norway: The Influence of Climate, Glacier Geometry and Glacier Dynamics [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 1990 In the 1870s and 1880s, after a long period of cold conditions, most of the glaciers of Svartisen ended near their maximum Neoglacial limit. Subsequent changes, although principally a response to the climatic controls of mass balance, have been influenced by glacier geometry, including area/altitude relations and aspect, and by glacier dynamics ...

Analyzing ice dynamics using Sentinel-1 data at the Solheimajoküll Glacier, Iceland
GIScience & Remote Sensing, 2020 The climate in southern Iceland has warmed over the last 70 years, resulting in accelerated glacier dynamics at the Solheimajoküll glacier. In this study, we compare glacier terminus locations from 1973 to 2018, to changes in climate across the study ...
