Origin and dynamic significance of longitudinal structures ("flow stripes") in the Antarctic Ice Sheet [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2015 Longitudinal ice-surface structures in the Antarctic Ice Sheet can be traced continuously down-ice for distances of up to 1200 km. A map of the distribution of ~ 3600 of these features, compiled from satellite images, shows that they mirror the location ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 1979 The flow of salt glaciers is investigated. On the basis of data extracted from published sources, order of magnitude estimates (and probable upper and lower limits) for the stress and strain rate in a salt glacier in Iran are determined. The estimate of strain rate is much larger (by a factor of ∼108) than strain rates predicted by previously ...

Glacier or not? The importance of nuance in definitions of vanishing glaciers
Annals of GlaciologyGlaciers provide critical ecosystem services, including water resources, biodiversity, cultural value and climate signals. But what makes a glacier a glacier? And when is a glacier no longer a glacier? Different glacier definitions can conflict.

Journal of Glaciology, 2020 We examine the spatial patterns of near-surface air temperature (Ta) over a melting glacier using a multi-annual dataset from McCall Glacier, Alaska. The dataset consists of a 10-year (2005–2014) meteorological record along the glacier centreline up to ...

The Flow of Glaciers in the Khumbu Region
Journal of the Japanese Society of Snow and Ice, 1976 The results of measurements of the surface velocity of the glaciers in the Khumbu region showed that the surface velocity underwent a seasonal variation in the upper parts of the ablation area of the Khumbu and the Nuptse glaciers, that is, the velocity from May to August was higher than that of the rest of the year.

InSAR observations of ice elevation and velocity fluctuations at the Flade Isblink ice cap, eastern North Greenland [PDF]
, 2010 The 8500 km(2) Flade Isblink ice cap (FIIC) (81 degrees 15'N, 15 degrees 0'W) is the largest ice cap in Greenland. We use repeat-pass interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) techniques to investigate the form and flow of the FIIC.

Coherent scatterers detection: application over glacier terrain using TerraSAR-X time series data [PDF]
, 2011 This paper investigates the detection of Coherent Scatterers (CSs) in ice and glacier terrain by means of TerraSAR-X time series data in the test site of the Helheim Glacier in Greenland.

A Flow Law for Temperate Glacier Ice
, 1973 Uniaxial compressive creep tests were performed on polycrystalline samples of glacier ice at stresses ranging from 0.06 bar to 1.0 bar under conditions similar to those actually occurring in a temperate glacier.

GeosciencesGlacier mass balance and ice flow dynamics, strongly influenced by climatic variability, topography, and geological–structural controls, can be precisely characterized through in situ GPS measurements of surface ice velocity, though such data remain ...
