Atlantic Water advection vs. glacier dynamics in northern Spitsbergen since early deglaciation

, 2017
. Atlantic Water (AW) advection plays an important role in climatic, oceanographic and environmental conditions in the eastern Arctic. Situated along the only deep connection between the Atlantic and the Arctic oceans, the Svalbard Archipelago is an ...

SNOW COVER AND GLACIER DYNAMICS STUDY USING C-AND L-BAND SAR DATASETS IN PARTS OF NORTH WEST HIMALAYA

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018
. The seasonal snow cover and permanent ice in form of Himalayan glaciers provide fresh water to many perineal rivers of Himalayas. The melt water from seasonal snow and glaciers, especially during of 15 March to 15 June acts as important source of water

Contrasts in the response of adjacent fjords and glaciers to ice-sheet surface melt in West Greenland

Annals of Glaciology, 2016
Neighboring tidewater glaciers often exhibit asynchronous dynamic behavior, despite relatively uniform regional atmospheric and oceanic forcings. This variability may be controlled by a combination of local factors, including glacier and fjord geometry ...

Marine outlet glacier dynamics, steady states and steady-state stability

Journal of Glaciology, 2022
Laterally confined marine outlet glaciers exhibit a diverse range of behaviours. This study investigates time-evolving and steady configurations of such glaciers.

Inland thinning of the Amundsen Sea sector, West Antarctica [PDF]

, 2002
[1] Together with the Pine Island glacier (PIG), the Thwaites (TG) and Smith (SG) glaciers are the principal drainage systems of the Amundsen Sea (AS) sector of Western Antarctica.

Climate–Glacier Dynamics and Topographic Forcing in the Karakoram Himalaya: Concepts, Issues and Research Directions

, 2017
Understanding climate-glacier dynamics in High Mountain Asia is of critical importance to address issues including water resources, sea-level rise, mountain geodynamics, natural hazards and ecosystem sustainability. The Karakoram Himalaya is arguably the

Spatiotemporal variation of glacier dynamics and its relationship with changes in high mountain ecosystems in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru

Revista de Teledetección
In high mountain ecosystems, glaciers, lakes and wetlands play an important role in local water resources, where a variation in glacier dynamics can affect the rest of the ecosystem components due to their hydrological connections.

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

Calibration of a frontal ablation parameterisation applied to Greenland's peripheral calving glaciers

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 ...

Morphometry of a glacier-linked esker in NW Tempe Terra, Mars, and implications for sediment-discharge dynamics of subglacial drainage

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2020
We present a systematic, metre-scale characterisation of the 3D morphometry of an esker on Mars, and the first attempt to reconstruct the multi-stage dynamics of esker formation on Mars.
