Hydrological controls on diurnal ice flow variability in valley glaciers [PDF]
, 2005 This paper uses a combination of field data and three-dimensional modeling to investigate the spatial variability in basal conditions required to induce observed fluctuations in diurnal ice velocity at Haut Glacier d'Arolla, Switzerland.

Air temperature distribution and energy balance modelling of a debris-covered glacier [PDF]
, 2016 Near-surface air temperature is an important determinant of the surface energy balance of glaciers that is often represented by constant linear temperature gradients in models.

Transient evolution of basal drag during glacier slip
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 Glacier slip is usually described using steady-state sliding laws that relate drag, slip velocity and effective pressure, but where subglacial conditions vary rapidly transient effects may influence slip dynamics.

Biotic Acceleration of Glacier Melting in Yala Glacier 9 Langtang Region, Nepal Himalaya [PDF]
, 2020 In some Himalayan glaciers, the microbial production on the glacier surface is so large during the monsoon season that the surface of the ablation area is covered with a dark coloured mud-like material which mainly consists of algae and bacteria.

Climate change impacts on glacier hydrology and river discharge in the Hindu Kush-Himalayas: a synthesis of the scientific basis [PDF]
, 2012 Rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns across the Hindu Kush–Himalaya (HKH) region resulting from climate change have an influence on water resource availability and food security for the downstream population.

A unified model for transient subglacial water pressure and basal sliding
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 Changes in water pressure at the beds of glaciers greatly modify their sliding rate, affecting rates of ice mass loss and sea level change. However, there is still no agreement about the physics of subglacial sliding or how water affects it.

Runoff modelling in glacierized Central Asian catchments for present-day and future climate [PDF]
, 2006 A conceptual precipitation–runoff model was applied in five glacierized catchments in Central Asia. The model, which was first developed and applied in the Alps, works on a daily time step and yields good results in the more continental climate of the ...

The contribution of glacier melt to streamflow
Environmental Research Letters, 2012 Ongoing and projected future changes in glacier volume and extent globally have led to concerns about the implications for water supplies. Glacier contributions to river discharge are not well known on a regional or global basis, nor are the populations ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Understanding how deterministic and stochastic processes influence the shape of microorganism community assembly across different spatial scales is essential for disentangling biodiversity patterns. Mires are nutrient‐poor and heterogeneous wetlands that form isolated habitats supporting highly diverse diatom assemblages, particularly in mountainous ...

Evolution of drainage system morphology at a land-terminating Greenland outlet glacier [PDF]
, 2013 This work was funded by the UK Natural Environment Research Council (through grants to Nienow, Mair, and Wadham, and a studentship to Bartholomew), the Edinburgh University Moss Centenary Scholarship (Cowton and Bartholomew), and a Carnegie Research ...
