A data set of worldwide glacier length fluctuations [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 Glacier fluctuations contribute to variations in sea level and historical glacier length fluctuations are natural indicators of past climate change. To study these subjects, long-term information of glacier change is needed.

Journal of Glaciology, 2022 The overall trend of rapid retreat of Alpine glaciers contains considerable variability of responses at the scale of individual glaciers. As a step towards a regional assessment of glacier state that allows a detailed differentiation of single glaciers ...

Journal of Glaciology, 2023 The shallow ice approximation for glaciers and ice sheets is a degenerate model in which the ice surface slope at the margin may be infinite. This result is due to the neglect of the otherwise small longitudinal stress terms.

Spatio-temporal variability in geometry and geodetic mass balance of Jostedalsbreen ice cap, Norway
Annals of Glaciology, 2023 The Jostedalsbreen ice cap is mainland Europe's largest ice cap and accommodates 20% (458 km2 in 2019) of the total glacier area of mainland Norway.

Quaternary Science Reviews, 2015 A global overview of glacier advances and retreats (grouped by regions and by millennia) for the Holocene is compiled from previous studies. The reconstructions of glacier fluctuations are based on 1) mapping and dating moraines defined by ¹⁴C, TCN, OSL, lichenometry and tree rings (discontinuous records/time series), and 2) sediments from proglacial ...

Rapid glacial retreat on the Kamchatka Peninsula during the early 21st century [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 Monitoring glacier fluctuations provides insights into changing glacial environments and recent climate change. The availability of satellite imagery offers the opportunity to view these changes for remote and inaccessible regions.

Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Calculation of the calving loss of tidewater glaciers depends on accurate bedrock information. In regional to global-scale projections of future tidewater glacier evolution this dependence is problematic.

Precipitation as the main driver of Neoglacial fluctuations of Gualas glacier, Northern Patagonian Icefield [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2012 Glaciers are frequently used as indicators of climate change. However, the link between past glacier fluctuations and climate variability is still highly debated.

Transient evolution of basal drag during glacier slip
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 Glacier slip is usually described using steady-state sliding laws that relate drag, slip velocity and effective pressure, but where subglacial conditions vary rapidly transient effects may influence slip dynamics.

A unified model for transient subglacial water pressure and basal sliding
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 Changes in water pressure at the beds of glaciers greatly modify their sliding rate, affecting rates of ice mass loss and sea level change. However, there is still no agreement about the physics of subglacial sliding or how water affects it.
