Processes of crevasse formation and the dynamics of calving glaciers : a study at Breiđamerkurjökull [PDF]
, 2009 A new model proposed by Benn et al. (2006, 2007) explains the dynamics of calving glaciers based on a new sliding law and a calving criterion modified from a crevasse depth model. In this thesis three key elements of this model are tested: 1) the role

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

Image analysis techniques to estimate river discharge using time-lapse cameras in remote locations [PDF]
, 2015 Cameras have the potential to provide new data streams for environmental science. Improvements in image quality, power consumption and image processing algorithms mean that it is now possible to test camera-based sensing in real-world scenarios.

Assessing glacier retreat and landform production at the ‘debris-charged’ snout of Kvíárjökull, Iceland [PDF]
, 2010 Iceland is a critical location for the study of glacier fluctuations and landform production in response to climate change due to its diverse glacial legacy and its archive of aerial photographs that provide accurately dated records of glacier retreat ...

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.

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 ...
