Sliding Relations for Glacier Slip With Cavities Over Three‐Dimensional Beds
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 Results of glacier flow models and associated estimates of future sea level rise depend sensitively on the prescribed relation between shear stress and slip velocity at the glacier bed.

Velocity, Stress and Temperature Solutions for Rectilinear Glacier Flows with Sliding at the Bed [PDF]
Geophysical Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2009 Summary A flexible new method for iteratively solving the equations of rectilinear glacier flow is used to compute solutions for non-isothermal flow with viscous heat generation (a polar glacier), and isothermal flow with stressdependent sliding velocity (a temperate glacier).

Remote Sensing, 2023 Cross-correlation of image-pairs derived from both optical and synthetic aperture radar satellite imagery is the most common technique for measuring glacier flow velocity and quantifying the dynamics and discharge of glaciers. While the technique has been shown to be effective on polar ice sheets, the accuracy of satellite-derived velocities in ...

Factors controlling the accelerated expansion of Imja Lake, Mount Everest region, Nepal
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 This study explores the link between area increase of Imja Tsho (Lake) and changes of Imja Glacier (area ~25km2) under the influence of climate change using multitemporal satellite imagery and local climate data. Between 1962 and 2013, Imja Lake expanded

Estimation of Glacier Thickness From Surface Mass Balance and Ice Flow Velocities: A Case Study on Argentière Glacier, France [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018 Glacier thickness distribution is a prerequisite to simulate the future of glaciers. Inaccurate thicknesses may lead to significant uncertainties in the timing of future changes to glaciers and their consequences for water resources or sea level rise. Unfortunately, glacier thickness distribution is rarely measured and consequently has to be estimated.
