The distribution of basal motion beneath a High Arctic polythermal glacier [PDF]
The longitudinal pattern of surface velocity of a large, predominantly colds polythermal glacier (John Evans Glacier, Ellesmere Island, Canada) was measured over summer and winter periods.

Monitoring glacier dynamics is an effective approach for quantifying the response of the glaciers in cold arid mountainous areas to climate change. However, the quantification of short-term flow dynamics of the mountain glaciers in cold-dry climates has ...

Subglacial drainage processes at a High Arctic polythermal valley glacier [PDF]
Dye-tracer experiments undertaken over two summer melt seasons at polythermal John Evans Glacier, Ellesmere Island, Canada, were designed to investigate the character of the subglacial drainage system and its evolution over a melt season. In both summers,

InSAR observations of ice elevation and velocity fluctuations at the Flade Isblink ice cap, eastern North Greenland [PDF]
The 8500 km(2) Flade Isblink ice cap (FIIC) (81 degrees 15'N, 15 degrees 0'W) is the largest ice cap in Greenland. We use repeat-pass interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) techniques to investigate the form and flow of the FIIC.

The dynamics of Trooz Glacier, Antarctic Peninsula, by satellite remote sensing data
The paper studies the ice cover of the Trooz Glacier, Kyiv Peninsula, West Antarctic Peninsula. The main goal of the work is to study the velocity dynamics of various parts of the Trooz Glacier in 2016–2022 based on remote sensing data and to compare ...

A physically based calving model applied to marine outlet glaciers and implications for the glacier dynamics [PDF]
We present results from numerical ice-flow models that include calving criteria based on penetration of surface and basal crevasses, which in turn is a function of longitudinal strain rates near the glacier front.

ICE VELOCITY MEASUREMENT IN EAST ANTARCTICA FROM 1960s TO 1980s BASED ON ARGON AND LANDSAT IMAGERY [PDF]
Ice flow velocity is a vital parameter for estimating the ice mass balance of glaciers in Antarctica. Especially long time serial observation of the surface velocity is of great significance to assessing the relationship between Antarctic ice materials ...

Velocity, Stress and Temperature Solutions for Rectilinear Glacier Flows with Sliding at the Bed [PDF]
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).

Sliding Relations for Glacier Slip With Cavities Over Three‐Dimensional Beds
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.
