Science of Remote Sensing, 2022 The Shirase Glacier, one of the fastest-flowing outlet glaciers in East Antarctica, flows into a bay that is usually covered by landfast sea ice. Although the presence of landfast ice is considered to stabilize glacier tongue, quantitative assessments ...

Spatio-temporal flow variations driving heat exchange processes at a mountain glacier [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Multi-scale interactions between the glacier surface, the overlying atmosphere, and the surrounding alpine terrain are highly complex and force temporally and spatially variable local glacier energy fluxes and melt rates.

Land- to lake-terminating transition triggers dynamic thinning of a Bhutanese glacier [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 There have been rapid increases in both the number and expansion of the proglacial lakes across High Mountain Asia. However, the relationship between proglacial lakes and glacier dynamics remains unclear in the Himalayan region.

Longitudinal surface structures (flowstripes) on Antarctic glaciers [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2012 Longitudinal surface structures ("flowstripes") are common on many glaciers but their origin and significance are poorly understood. In this paper we present observations of the development of these longitudinal structures from four different Antarctic ...

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2023 The eastern Pamir Plateau, with a mean altitude of 5000 m, forms a large-scale glacier region with a size of 2054 km2 that serves as an important environmental climate condition for central Asia. In this article, we estimated the spatio-temporal patterns

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 ...

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2022 Monitoring glacier dynamics is an effective approach for quantifying the response of the glaciers in cold arid mountainous areas to climate change. However, the quantification of short-term flow dynamics of the mountain glaciers in cold-dry climates has ...

Journal of Glaciology, 2023 The shallow ice approximation for glaciers and ice sheets is a degenerate model in which the ice surface slope at the margin may be infinite. This result is due to the neglect of the otherwise small longitudinal stress terms.
