Electrical and Electromagnetic Geophysical Prospecting for the Monitoring of Rock Glaciers in the Dolomites, Northeast Italy [PDF]

open access: yesSensors, 2021
The monitoring of rock glaciers plays a relevant role in relation to natural hazards in high mountain environments. Due to the climate warming, mountain permafrost is thawing, and its degradation is influencing the triggering and the evolvement of processes such as rockfalls, landslides, debris flows and floods.

Acquisition of a 3 min, two-dimensional glacier velocity field with terrestrial radar interferometry

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2017
Outlet glaciers undergo rapid spatial and temporal changes in flow velocity during calving events. Observing such changes requires both high temporal and high spatial resolution methods, something now possible with terrestrial radar interferometry. While

Internal structure and water routing of an ice-debris landform assemblage using multiple geophysical methods in the semiarid Andes

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Rock glaciers are the most abundant (peri) glacial landform in the semiarid Andes (SA, 29–34°S), covering about three times the area of mountain glaciers.

Patterns in glacial-earthquake activity around Greenland, 2011–13

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2017
Glacial earthquakes are caused by large iceberg calving events, which are an important mechanism for mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet. The number of glacial earthquakes in Greenland has increased sixfold over the past two decades.

Efficiency of artificial neural networks for glacier ice-thickness estimation: a case study in western Himalaya, India

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2021
Knowledge of glacier volume is crucial for ice flow modelling and predicting the impacts of climate change on glaciers. Rugged terrain, harsh weather conditions and logistic costs limit field-based ice thickness observations in the Himalaya.

A comparison of automated approaches to extracting englacial-layer geometry from radar data across ice sheets

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 2020
Radar surveys across ice sheets typically measure numerous englacial layers that can often be regarded as isochrones. Such layers are valuable for extrapolating age–depth relationships away from ice-core locations, reconstructing palaeoaccumulation ...

Ground penetrating radar in temperate ice: englacial water inclusions as limiting factor for data interpretation

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2023
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) has been extensively used in glaciology to infer glacier's ice thickness, liquid water content, water drainage pathways, and other properties.

Advances in geophysical exploration of ice sheets and glaciers [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 1975
AbstractThe techniques of geophysical exploration can be used in a number of ways to investigate the internal characteristics of ice bodies. The application of radio-echo sounding is discussed elsewhere by Robin (1975[a]) so is not considered here except for a few special cases.

Air-temperature control on diurnal variations in microseismicity at Laohugou Glacier No. 12, Qilian Mountains

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 2019
We conducted a 9-d seismic experiment in October 2015 at Laohugou Glacier No. 12. We identified microseismic signals using the short-term/long-term average trigger algorithm at four stations and classified them as long and short-duration events based on ...
