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 ...

Flow dynamics of an accumulation basin: a case study of upper Kahiltna Glacier, Mount McKinley, Alaska [PDF]
, 2012 We interpreted flow dynamics of the Kahiltna Pass Basin accumulation zone on Mount McKinley, Alaska, USA, using 40, 100 and 900 MHz ground-penetrating radar profiles and GPS surface velocity measurements.

Seismic Tremor Reveals Spatial Organization and Temporal Changes of Subglacial Water System [PDF]
, 2019 ©2019. American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved.Subglacial water flow impacts glacier dynamics and shapes the subglacial environment. However, due to the challenges of observing glacier beds, the spatial organization of subglacial water systems and

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 ...

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1987 An AGU Chapman Conference on Fast Glacier Flow was held at Whistler Village, Canada, from May 4 to 8, 1986. The timing of the conference seemed particularly propitious because of results of recent observational programs, such as the breakup of the tidewater Columbia Glacier in Alaska, the imbalance of Ice Stream B in Antarctica and the existence of ...

Melt regimes, internal stratigraphy, and flow dynamics of three glaciers in the Alaska Range [PDF]
, 2012 We used ground-penetrating radar (GPR), GPS and glaciochemistry to evaluate melt regimes and ice depths, important variables for mass-balance and ice-volume studies, of Upper Yentna Glacier, Upper Kahiltna Glacier and the Mount Hunter ice divide, Alaska.

Numerical modeling of ice detachment tipping processes: insights from the Sedongpu Glacier, southeastern Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
The CryosphereGlacier detachment is a severe natural hazard that can cause enormous damage in downstream regions. During detachment, a glacier will experience an abrupt change from slow-moving to high-speed flow within minutes.

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 ...
