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.

Hydrology and Glaciers in the Upper Indus Basin [PDF]
, 2013 Examines the state of the science associated with the snow and ice hydrology in the Upper Indus Basin (IUB), reviewing the literature and data available on the present and projected role of glaciers, snow fields, and stream flow. Considerable speculation but little analysis exists concerning the importance of glaciers in the volume and timing of flow ...

Journal of GlaciologySeasonal glacier dynamics are key to predicting hazards and glacier stability due to short-term events as well as improving glacier models. However, the short-term ice velocity variations remain poorly constrained for slow-moving glaciers in the Himalaya

A model of water extraction from the subglacial hydrologic system under idealized conditions [PDF]
The CryosphereSubglacial water modulates glacier velocity across a wide range of space and time scales by influencing friction at the glacier bed. Observations show ice acceleration due to supraglacial lake drainage and water draining through moulins, where both ...

Annals of Glaciology, 2022 Subglacial hydrology is an important component of the ice dynamic system in Antarctica but is challenging to investigate due to the large spatial scales of the catchment systems, the ice thickness, and remote location.

Future high-mountain hydrology: a new parameterization of glacier retreat [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2010 Abstract. Climate warming is expected to significantly affect the runoff regime of mountainous catchments. Simple methods for calculating future glacier change in hydrological models are required in order to efficiently project economic impacts of changes in the water cycle over the next decades.

Hydraulic impacts of glacier advance over a sediment bed [PDF]
, 2006 A sedimentary sequence of till overlying a gravel aquifer was instrumented with water-pressure transducers prior to a small, anticipated surge of the margin of the glacier Breiðamerkurjökull in Iceland.
