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 ...

Nonuniform Late Pleistocene glacier fluctuations in tropical Eastern Africa. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2021 Mountain glaciers in tropical Eastern Africa responded in a nonuniform way to Late Pleistocene climatic changes. Today’s ice caps and glaciers in Africa are restricted to the highest peaks, but during the Pleistocene, several mountains on the continent ...

Glacier fluctuations in the northern Patagonian Andes (44°S) imply wind-modulated interhemispheric in-phase climate shifts during Termination 1. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 The Last Glacial Termination (T1) featured major changes in global circulation systems that led to a shift from glacial to interglacial climate. While polar ice cores attest to an antiphased thermal pattern at millennial timescales, recent well-dated ...

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.

Temperature reconstruction from glacier length fluctuations in the Himalaya
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 A temperature reconstruction in the glacierized Himalaya over the past centuries using glacial length fluctuation records is challenging due to the abundance of debris-covered glaciers and a scarcity of glacial length fluctuation data.

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.

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.
