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.

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 ...

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 ...

Suitability of a constant air temperature lapse rate over an Alpine glacier: testing the Greuell and Böhm model as an alternative [PDF]
, 2013 Near-surface air temperature, typically measured at a height of 2 m, is the most important control on the energy exchange and the melt rate at a snow or ice surface.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

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.

Rapid submarine ice melting in the grounding zones of ice shelves in West Antarctica. [PDF]
, 2016 Enhanced submarine ice-shelf melting strongly controls ice loss in the Amundsen Sea embayment (ASE) of West Antarctica, but its magnitude is not well known in the critical grounding zones of the ASE's major glaciers.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract As habitat salinity markedly differs between the endangered, freshwater‐dwelling Saimaa ringed seal (Pusa saimensis Nordquist, 1899) and the brackish water‐inhabiting Baltic ringed seal (Pusa hispida botnica Gmelin, 1788), we investigated whether this difference has resulted in morphological changes to their kidneys.
