Complex Greenland outlet glacier flow captured. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2016 AbstractThe Greenland Ice Sheet is losing mass at an accelerating rate due to increased surface melt and flow acceleration in outlet glaciers. Quantifying future dynamic contributions to sea level requires accurate portrayal of outlet glaciers in ice sheet simulations, but to date poor knowledge of subglacial topography and limited model resolution ...

The Mechanics of Glacier Flow [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1952 AbstractThe flow of valley glaciers is examined in the light of recent laboratory experiments on the behaviour of ice under load. Simple expressions are given for the velocity distributions in some cases of laminar flow, and the modification of a pure laminar flow theory necessary to explain the formation of transverse crevasses and thrust planes is ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018 Glacier thickness distribution is a prerequisite to simulate the future of glaciers. Inaccurate thicknesses may lead to significant uncertainties in the timing of future changes to glaciers and their consequences for water resources or sea level rise ...

Geomorphology, 2019 A debris flow occurred in the foreland of Gangotri Glacier by its former tributary, Meru (Bamak) Glacier between 16 and 19 July 2017. We investigated the debris flow using pre- and post-event field observations; hydro-meteorological data along with ...

Geomorphology, 2020 Flow velocities were measured on the active rock glacier Lazaun by eleven GNNS (2006–2018) and six UAV campaigns (2016–2018) to better understand the flow pattern and its possible causes.

Inversion of a Stokes glacier flow model emulated by deep learning
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 Data assimilation in high-order ice flow modeling is a challenging and computationally costly task, yet crucial to find ice thickness and ice flow parameter distributions that are consistent with ice flow mechanics and mass balance while best matching ...

Large‐eddy simulations of the atmospheric boundary layer over an Alpine glacier: Impact of synoptic flow direction and governing processes [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2021 The mass balance of mountain glaciers is of interest for several applications (e.g., local hydrology or climate projections), and turbulent fluxes can be an important contributor to glacier surface mass balance during strong melting events.

Elastic deformation plays a non-negligible role in Greenland’s outlet glacier flow
Communications Earth & Environment, 2021 Future projections of global mean sea level change are uncertain, partly because of our limited understanding of the dynamics of Greenland’s outlet glaciers.

Universal differential equations for glacier ice flow modelling
Geoscientific Model Development, 2023 . Geoscientific models are facing increasing challenges to exploit growing datasets coming from remote sensing. Universal differential equations (UDEs), aided by differentiable programming, provide a new scientific modelling paradigm enabling both ...
