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 ...

Diverse landscapes beneath Pine Island Glacier influence ice flow
Nature Communications, 2017 Projecting the future retreat and thus global sea level contributions of Antarctica’s Pine Island Glacier is hampered by a poor grasp of what controls flow at the ice base.

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.

Flow velocities of Alaskan glaciers [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2013 Our poor understanding of tidewater glacier dynamics remains the primary source of uncertainty in sea level rise projections. On the ice sheets, mass lost from tidewater calving exceeds the amount lost from surface melting. In Alaska, the magnitude of calving mass loss remains unconstrained, yet immense calving losses have been observed.
