Creep-Velocity Bounds and Glacier-Flow Problems [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1967 A general result due to Martin can be used to find upper and lower bounds on velocities in steady-creep problems. This method can be applied to glacier flow if ice can be assumed to satisfy a powerlaw stress–strain-rate relation.

On the Secular Variation of Ice Flow Velocity at Lewis Glacier, Mount Kenya, Kenya [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1982 Measurements at various epochs in the course of the twentieth century indicate a slowing down of surface ice flow velocity. This is consistent with the numerical modeling of the secular glacier recession, which furthermore shows a gradual upward shift of

Continued Decrease of Ice-Flow Velocity at Lewis Glacier, Mount Kenya, East Africa [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1987 Our earlier monitoring program on Lewis Glacier, Mount Kenya, indicated a slow-down of the ice flow to January 1982, while based on the numerical modeling of the ice dynamics a further drastic decrease of the ice flow was predicted from the 1978 to the ...

Ice flow velocity as a sensitive indicator of glacier state [PDF]
, 2018 . Climatic forcing affects glacier length changes, mass balance and ice flow dynamics on different time scales and also dependent on topography. The first two of these parameters are operationally used for glacier monitoring, whereas only a few time ...

Flow and structure in a dendritic glacier with bedrock steps [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2017 We analyse ice flow and structural glaciology of Shackleton Glacier, a dendritic glacier with multiple icefalls in the Canadian Rockies. A major tributary-trunk junction allows us to investigate the potential of tributaries to alter trunk flow and ...

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 ...

Flow velocities of Alaskan glaciers [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2013 Our poor understanding of tidewater glacier dynamics remains the primary source of uncertainty in sea level rise projections. On the ice sheets, mass lost from tidewater calving exceeds the amount lost from surface melting. In Alaska, the magnitude of calving mass loss remains unconstrained, yet immense calving losses have been observed.

Monitoring ice flow velocity of Petermann glacier combined with Sentinel-1 and −2 imagery
International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2023 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are commonly used to monitor glacier flow velocity at Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS). However, offset-tracking with SAR imagery in summer usually show poor quality because the rapid ice surface freezing-melting cycles contaminating the surface backscattering characteristic, while optical images are less sensitive to ...
