Climate-driven Shifts in Quantity and Seasonality of River Discharge over the past 1000 Years from the Hydrographic Apex of North America [PDF]
, 2008 Runoff generated from high elevations is the primary source of freshwater for western North America, yet this critical resource is managed on the basis of short instrumental records that capture an insufficient range of climatic conditions. Here we probe

Adelgazamiento del glaciar cubierto Horcones Inferior, derivado de mediciones geodésicas mediante el uso de estaciones semicontinuas GNSS, durante un período de cinco estaciones de verano (C° Aconcagua, Argentina) [PDF]
, 2016 We report on ice movements changes in the Horcones Inferior Glacier (HIG), a major debris-covered glacier located in the southern sector of Mt. Aconcagua, Central Andes of Argentina.

Reduced glacier sliding caused by persistent drainage from a subglacial lake [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2010 We present velocity observations of a glacier outlet in Vatnajökull, Iceland, deduced from interferometric SAR (InSAR) data obtained during the ERS1/2 tandem mission in 1995–2000.

Modelling of hydrological response to climate change in glacierized Central Asian catchments [PDF]
, 2007 The arid lowlands of Central Asia are highly dependent on the water supplied by the Tien Shan mountains. Snow and ice storage make large contributions to current runoff, particularly in summer.

Glacial dynamics in pre-Alpine narrow valleys during the Last Glacial Maximum inferred by lowland fluvial records (northeast Italy) [PDF]
, 2018 During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), most of the major glaciated basins of the European Southern Alps had piedmont lobes with large outwash plains; only a few glaciers remained within the valley.

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 ...

Sub-regional variability in the influence of ice-contact lakes on Himalayan glaciers
Journal of GlaciologyIce-contact lakes modify glacier geometry and dynamics by shifting the majority of mass loss from the ice surface to the terminus. Lake-terminating glaciers are known to experience greater thinning rates and higher velocities than land-terminating ...
