Multi-decadal variations in glacier flow velocity and the influencing factors of Urumqi Glacier No. 1 in Tianshan Mountains, Northwest China [PDF]
Journal of Arid Land, 2017 Urumqi Glacier No. 1 is a representative glacier in the inland areas of Central Asia and is the only Chinese reference glacier in the World Glacier Monitoring Service. In this study, we explored multi-decadal variations in the flow velocity of the glacier and the influencing factors based on continuous field observations and path coefficient analysis ...

Water (Switzerland), 2022 Remote sensing estimations of glacier flow velocity could provide effective methods for the long-term monitoring of glacier flow velocity. This paper calculated the velocity in the line-of-sight (LOS) direction by combining DInSAR and offset-tracking technology with ascending and descending Sentinel-1 images of the Urumqi Glacier No.1 from 2016 to 2017.

Fluctuations in the flow velocity of the Antarctic Shirase Glacier over an 11-year period
Polar Science, 2010 AbstractTemporal fluctuations in the flow velocity of Shirase Glacier in Antarctica were studied using 15 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) scenes obtained by the Japanese Earth Resources Satellite-1 (JERS-1) in 1996–1998 and 9 phased-array-type L-band SAR (PALSAR) scenes obtained by the Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) in 2007–2008.

The use of terrestrial monoscopic time-lapse cameras for surveying glacier flow velocity
Cold Regions Science and TechnologyGlacier flow velocity is crucial information to assess the impact of global warming on glaciers since it is related to the ice thickness, its variations provide information on mass balance and, in general, on the current state of glacier “health”. Moreover, flow anomalies are often an indicator of glacier instabilities.

Land- to lake-terminating transition triggers dynamic thinning of a Bhutanese glacier [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 There have been rapid increases in both the number and expansion of the proglacial lakes across High Mountain Asia. However, the relationship between proglacial lakes and glacier dynamics remains unclear in the Himalayan region.

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2023 The eastern Pamir Plateau, with a mean altitude of 5000 m, forms a large-scale glacier region with a size of 2054 km2 that serves as an important environmental climate condition for central Asia. In this article, we estimated the spatio-temporal patterns
