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 ...

SAR-derived flow velocity and its link to glacier surface elevation change and mass balance
, 2021 Modern remote sensing techniques, such as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), can measure the direction and intensity of glacier flow. Yet the question remains as to what these measurements reveal about glaciers' adjustment to the warming climate.

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.

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,

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
