Recent structural evolution of Forni Glacier tongue (Ortles-Cevedale Group, Central Italian Alps)

Journal of Maps, 2017
Structural glaciology yields important details about the evolution of glacier dynamics in response to climate change. The maps provided here document the occurrence and evolution of brittle and ductile structures on the tongue of Forni Glacier, Ortles ...

Surface lowering of the debris-covered area of Kanchenjunga Glacier in the eastern Nepal Himalaya since 1975, as revealed by Hexagon KH-9 and ALOS satellite observations [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2017
This study presents the geodetic mass balance of Kanchenjunga Glacier, one of the largest debris-covered glaciers in the easternmost Nepal Himalaya, which possesses a negative mass balance of −0.18 ± 0.17 m w.e.

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.

Spatial model of the Trooz Glacier dynamics based on meteorological data from the Akademik Vernadsky station

Український антарктичний журнал
This paper models the dynamics of the Trooz Glacier, Antarctic Peninsula. To integrate remote and meteorological data, we processed ice flow velocities derived from satellite radar imagery, air temperature, and precipitation obtained from the ERA5 ...

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.

Some Observations on Glacier Flow [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology, 1951
AbstractThe excavation of a tunnel by I’Energie Ouest Suisse (EOS) presented inter alia the opportunity to construct a longitudinal profile of the glacier speed and also to observe the speed of the transverse contraction of a circular section. The swift change of shape without fracture was noteworthy.

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

Satellite‑observed recent flow acceleration of glaciers and model‑based environmental associations in Victoria Land, East Antarctica

International Journal of Digital Earth
Antarctic ice mass loss has intensified in recent decades. However, short-term glacier velocity variability in Victoria Land, East Antarctica, remains poorly documented.
