Diurnal fluctuations in glacier ice deformation: Haut Glacier d'Arolla, Switzerland

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2007
AbstractMeasurements of surface velocity, ice deformation (at 42 and 89% ice depth) and proglacial stream discharge were made at Haut Glacier d'Arolla, Switzerland, to determine diurnal patterns of variation in each. Data are analysed in order to understand better the relationship between hydraulically induced basal motion and glacier ice deformation ...

Fluctuations of the Rio Del Plomo Glaciers

Geografiska Annaler: Series A, Physical Geography, 1986
The fluctuations of the Rio del Plomo glaciers have been studied during the period 1909 to 1983 through the use of topographic maps, published data, aerial photographs taken in 1955, 1963 and 1974,...

Linear modelling of glacier length fluctuations

Geografiska Annaler: Series A, Physical Geography, 2012
In this contribution a linear first-order differential equation is used to model glacier length fluctuations. This equation has two parameters describing the physical characteristics of a glacier: the climate sensitivity, expressing how the equilibrium glacier length depends on the climatic state, and the response time, indicating how fast a glacier ...

Climatic Implications of Glacier Fluctuations

1986
For over a century glaciers all over the world have been retreating in response to rising temperatures, especially summer temperatures. Retreat has been punctuated by advances at intervals of a few decades which appear to be synchronous in many widely separated mountain regions.

Recent fluctuations of the Argentinian glaciers

Global and Planetary Change, 1999
Abstract Some of the results obtained in the glaciological research carried out since 1979 at the Argentinian Andes are shown in this paper. The research covers a wide latitudinal gap extending from the Agua Negra glacier in the province of San Juan to the Frias glacier situated at Mount Tronador.

Holocene glacier fluctuations in the American Cordillera

Quaternary Science Reviews, 1988
Abstract In many areas of the American Rocky Mountains (Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Montana), Cascade Range (Washington, Oregon), and the Sierra Nevada (California), radiocarbon ages suggest that ice receded to near present limits before 10 ka BP. A pre-Altithermal readvance or stillstand left moraines ca. 1–3 km beyond and ca.

Holocene mountain glacier fluctuations: A global overview

Geografia Fisica e Dinamica Quaternaria, 2011
Since one century mountain Holocene glacier fluctuations are considered as proxies of climate changes. Starting from the Alps, studies in all the mountain regions from poles to the equator revealed a multitude of high-frequency glacier fluctuations, mainly related to local-regional climate variability.
