Holocene glacier fluctuations in Alaska
Quaternary Science Reviews, 2009Abstract This review summarizes forefield and lacustrine records of glacier fluctuations in Alaska during the Holocene. Following retreat from latest Pleistocene advances, valley glaciers with land-based termini were in retracted positions during the early to middle Holocene.

Glacier Fluctuations and Simple Glacier Models
2020This chapter details the formulation and analysis of simple mathematical models that describe the response of glaciers to mass balance changes. The primary focus is on glacier length fluctuations. Key aspects studied include the response time and sensitivity of different glaciers to changes in climate, and the use of models to reconstruct past ...

Glacier Fluctuations and Hazards
The Geographical Journal, 1987discussion of the types of hazards associated with climatically led oscillations in populated areas and their timing. The threat from such glaciers has diminished but not disappeared with the recession of the last century. The impact of the more dramatic oscillations of surging glaciers and those with floating tongues has been limited by their ...

Diurnal fluctuations in glacier ice deformation: Haut Glacier d'Arolla, Switzerland
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2007AbstractMeasurements 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, 1986The 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,...

Climatic Implications of Glacier Fluctuations
1986For 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, 1999Abstract 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, 1988Abstract 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.
