Stress-gradient coupling in glacier flow: I. Longitudinal averaging of the influence of ice thickness and surface slope [PDF]

, 1986
For a glacier flowing over a bed of longitudinally varying slope, the influence of longitudinal stress gradients on the flow is analyzed by means of a longitudinal flow-coupling equation derived from the "vertically" (cross-sectionally) integrated ...

Going against the flow: testing the hypothesis of pulsed axial glacier flow [PDF]

, 2018
Hypothesised lobe‐like flow of a temperate glacier in southeast Iceland, proposed from an analysis of ice surface crevassing patterns, is appraised from both empirical and theoretical perspectives.

Dynamic Characteristics of Suspended Load and Bed Load Transport in Meltwater Runoff of Qiyi Glacier

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao
[Objective] The transportation of sediment via glacial meltwater can not only reflect the glacial erosion and landform evolution, but also is one of the important sediment sources for the downstream river.

Factors controlling the accelerated expansion of Imja Lake, Mount Everest region, Nepal

Annals of Glaciology, 2016
This study explores the link between area increase of Imja Tsho (Lake) and changes of Imja Glacier (area ~25km2) under the influence of climate change using multitemporal satellite imagery and local climate data. Between 1962 and 2013, Imja Lake expanded

Radioglaciological studies on Hurd Peninsula glaciers, Livingston Island, Antarctica [PDF]

, 2009
We present the results of several radio-echo sounding surveys carried out on Johnsons and Hurd Glaciers, Livingston Island, Antarctica, between the 1999/2000 and 2004/05 austral summer campaigns, which included both radar profiling and common-midpoint ...

Some Comments on Glacier Flow [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology, 1950
AbstractDrs. Orowan and Perutz have shown that glacier ice does not behave as a viscous fluid but is plastic like all crystalline materials. The present author discusses two observed types of ice flow:—(1) the normal, regular streaming flow in slow-moving glaciers; (2) Block-Schollen movement in swiftly flowing ice.

Glacierized headwater streams as aquifer recharge corridors, subarctic Alaska

Geophysical Research Letters, 2017
Arctic river discharge has increased in recent decades although sources and mechanisms remain debated. Abundant literature documents permafrost thaw and mountain glacier shrinkage over the past decades. Here we link glacier runoff to aquifer recharge via
