Remote Sensing, 2021 Glaciers located in the Qilian Mountains are rapidly retreating and thinning due to climate change. The current understanding of small glacier mass balance changes under a changing climate is limited by the scarcity of in situ measurements in both time ...

Recent structural evolution of Forni Glacier tongue (Ortles-Cevedale Group, Central Italian Alps)
Journal of Maps, 2017 Structural glaciology yields important details about the evolution of glacier dynamics in response to climate change. The maps provided here document the occurrence and evolution of brittle and ductile structures on the tongue of Forni Glacier, Ortles ...

Long-term records of glacier surface velocities in the Ötztal Alps (Austria) [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2019 Climatic forcing affects glacier mass balance, which causes changes in ice flow dynamics and glacier length changes on different timescales. Mass balance and length changes are operationally used for glacier monitoring, whereas only a few time series of ...

Effect of topography on subglacial discharge and submarine melting during tidewater glacier retreat. [PDF]
, 2017 -We explored secular variations in subglacial discharge and submarine melting with an idealized model -Subglacial discharge increases as tidewater glaciers retreat along retrograde beds -Submarine melting depends on subglacial discharge and ...

The Holocene dynamics of Ryder Glacier and ice tongue in north Greenland
The Cryosphere, 2021 . The northern sector of the Greenland ice sheet is considered to be particularly susceptible to ice mass loss arising from increased glacier discharge in the coming decades.

Understanding Complex Debris-Covered Glaciers: Concepts, Issues, and Research Directions
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Understanding the climate-glacier dynamics of debris-covered glaciers is notoriously difficult given a multitude of controlling factors and feedback mechanisms involving climate forcing, debris-load properties, supraglacial water bodies, and multi-scale ...

Radioglaciological studies on Hurd Peninsula glaciers, Livingston Island, Antarctica [PDF]
, 2009 We present the results of several radio-echo sounding surveys carried out on Johnsons and Hurd Glaciers, Livingston Island, Antarctica, between the 1999/2000 and 2004/05 austral summer campaigns, which included both radar profiling and common-midpoint ...

The Cryosphere, 2018 . In recent years, observations have highlighted seasonal and interannual variability in rock glacier flow. Temperature forcing, through heat conduction, has been proposed as one of the key processes to explain these variations in kinematics.

Inferring ice thickness from a glacier dynamics model and multiple surface data sets [PDF]
, 2016 The future behavior of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) may have a major impact on future climate. For instance, ice sheet melt may contribute significantly to global sea‐level rise.
