The Red Rock ice cliff revisited – six decades of frontal, mass and area changes in the Nunatarssuaq area, Northwest Greenland

Journal of Glaciology, 2020
We present changes of the ice margin in Northwest Greenland at the Eastern part of the Nunatarssuaq Ice Cap (NIC) over six decades. The ice margin in this area terminates as a near-vertical ice cliff of between 9 and 33 m thickness. During the years 1954–

Advance and thickening of the tidewater outlet glacier Eqalorutsit Kangilliit Sermiat surrounded by the thinning southern Greenland ice sheet

Journal of Glaciology
Although most Greenland glaciers have undergone thinning and frontal retreat in recent decades, the tidewater glacier Eqalorutsit Kangilliit Sermiat in South Greenland departs from this regional pattern.

Holocene history of the Ullukam Glacier

Лëд и снег, 2015
Using instrumental archives, aerial photographs, satellite images, old maps, descriptions of early explorers and old photographs we identified and mapped nine front positions of the Ullukam Glacier (SW slope of Elbrus) for the period from the end of XIX ...

Glacier change in Norway since the 1960s – an overview of mass balance, area, length and surface elevation changes

Journal of Glaciology, 2020
In this paper, we give an overview of changes in area, length, surface elevation and mass balance of glaciers in mainland Norway since the 1960s. Frontal advances have been recorded in all regions except the northernmost glaciers in Troms and Finnmark ...

Surge history and dynamics of Fisher Glacier, Yukon, 1948–2022

Journal of Glaciology
Remotely sensed datasets indicate that Fisher Glacier underwent two surges since 1948: during approximately 1969–72 and 2013–16. These were characterized by an advanced terminus position (terminus-wide average advance 571 ± 143 m from 1963 to 1972 and ...

Glacier inventory and recent glacier variations in the Andes of Chile, South America

Annals of Glaciology, 2017
The first satellite-derived inventory of glaciers and rock glaciers in Chile, created from Landsat TM/ETM+ images spanning between 2000 and 2003 using a semi-automated procedure, is presented in a single standardized format.

Mass balance of Trambau Glacier, Rolwaling region, Nepal Himalaya: in-situ observations, long-term reconstruction and mass-balance sensitivity

Journal of Glaciology, 2019
We conducted a mass-balance study of debris-free Trambau Glacier in the Rolwaling region, Nepal Himalaya, which is accessible to 6000 m a.s.l., to better understand mass-balance processes and the effect of precipitation on these processes on high ...

Experimental constraints on transient glacier slip with ice-bed separation

Journal of Glaciology
Fast glacier motion is facilitated by slip at the ice-bed interface. For slip over rigid beds, areas of ice-bed separation (cavities) can exert significant control on slip dynamics.

First in situ record of decadal glacier mass balance (2003–2014) from the Bhutan Himalaya

Annals of Glaciology, 2016
This study presents the first decadal mass-balance record of a small debris-free glacier in the Bhutan Himalaya, where few in situ measurements have been reported to date. Since 2003 we have measured the mass balance of Gangju La glacier, which covers an

Vanishing and vanished glaciers. Introduction to the Annals of Glaciology Collection

Annals of Glaciology
We summarize and reflect on the nearly 30 studies that form this Collection on Vanishing Glaciers as a contribution to the 2025 International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation. Some of the studies in this Collection are extensions of the stories told in the
