Influence of subglacial drainage system evolution on glacier surface motion: Haut Glacier d'Arolla, Switzerland [PDF]
, 2002 The relationship between the evolution of subglacial drainage system morphology and spatial patterns of glacier surface velocity was investigated using dye tracing experiments and ground surveying throughout the 1995 melt season at Haut Glacier d'Arolla,

Intra-annual and intra-seasonal flow dynamics of a High Arctic polythermal valley glacier [PDF]
, 2002 Measurements of surface dynamics on polythermal John Evans Glacier, Nunavut, Canada, over two winter periods and every 7-10 days throughout two melt seasons (June-July 2000, 2001) provide new insight into spatio-temporal patterns of High Arctic glacier ...

Landslide-generated tsunami and particle transport in mountain lakes and reservoirs
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 Gravitational mass flows may generate tsunamis as they hit water bodies such as oceans, reservoirs or mountain lakes. Upon impact, they can generate tremendous particle-laden or debris flows and floods.

Radio-echo soundings on Icelandic temperate glaciers: history of techniques and findings
Annals of Glaciology, 2020 Since the mid-1970s radio-echo soundings have been conducted on Iceland's temperate glaciers. Since then, low-frequency radar technology has furthered the study of most of the island's ice caps.

Crevasses triggered on Pine Island Glacier by drilling through an exceptional melt layer [PDF]
, 2010 The basic theory of crevasse formation suggests that crevasses initiate at or near the surface. However, due to variations in stress with depth, it has been suggested that it is possible for crevasses to initiate at depths of 10–30m.
