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.

Inferring time-dependent calving dynamics at Helheim Glacier
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 We perform Bayesian inference of the parameters of a time-dependent model of ice flow and calving at Helheim Glacier, East Greenland. We find that, while a time-independent calving parameterization can recover the mean observed terminus position, such a ...

Influence of subglacial drainage system evolution on glacier surface motion: Haut Glacier d'Arolla, Switzerland [PDF]
, 2002 The relationship between the evolution of subglacial drainage system morphology and spatial patterns of glacier surface velocity was investigated using dye tracing experiments and ground surveying throughout the 1995 melt season at Haut Glacier d'Arolla,

Future high-mountain hydrology: a new parameterization of glacier retreat [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2010 Global warming is expected to significantly affect the runoff regime of mountainous catchments. Simple methods for calculating future glacier change in hydrological models are required in order to reliably assess economic impacts of changes in the water ...

Intra-annual and intra-seasonal flow dynamics of a High Arctic polythermal valley glacier [PDF]
, 2002 Measurements of surface dynamics on polythermal John Evans Glacier, Nunavut, Canada, over two winter periods and every 7-10 days throughout two melt seasons (June-July 2000, 2001) provide new insight into spatio-temporal patterns of High Arctic glacier ...

Identification of glacial meltwater runoff in a karstic environment and its implication for present and future water availability [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Glaciers all over the world are expected to continue to retreat due to the global warming throughout the 21st century. Consequently, future seasonal water availability might become scarce once glacier areas have declined below a certain threshold ...

Hydrological controls on diurnal ice flow variability in valley glaciers [PDF]
, 2005 This paper uses a combination of field data and three-dimensional modeling to investigate the spatial variability in basal conditions required to induce observed fluctuations in diurnal ice velocity at Haut Glacier d'Arolla, Switzerland.

Subglacial drainage processes at a High Arctic polythermal valley glacier [PDF]
, 2005 Dye-tracer experiments undertaken over two summer melt seasons at polythermal John Evans Glacier, Ellesmere Island, Canada, were designed to investigate the character of the subglacial drainage system and its evolution over a melt season. In both summers,
