Classifying disequilibrium of small mountain glaciers from patterns of surface elevation change distributions

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2022
The overall trend of rapid retreat of Alpine glaciers contains considerable variability of responses at the scale of individual glaciers. As a step towards a regional assessment of glacier state that allows a detailed differentiation of single glaciers ...

Recent (2018–2021) glaciological, hydrological and geomorphological landscape changes of Hailuogou Glacier tongue, southeastern Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2023
Glaciers in the Tibetan Plateau are melting at an unprecedented recently rate in the context of global warming. Time-sequenced landform mapping for the Hailuogou Glacier, a partly debris-covered glacier in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau, shows the ...

Halving of Swiss glacier volume since 1931 observed from terrestrial image photogrammetry [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2022
The monitoring of glaciers in Switzerland has a long tradition, yet glacier changes during the 20th century are only known through sparse observations.

Glacier Maps of Canada [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 1970
Abstract This note describes the series of seven maps at scales 1 : 1 000 000 showing the distribution of glaciers in Canada, with indication of information sources.

A new global gridded glacier dataset based on the Randolph Glacier Inventory version 6.0

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2021
Gridded glacier datasets are essential for various glaciological and climatological research because they link glacier cover with the corresponding gridded meteorological variables.

Intra-annual and intra-seasonal flow dynamics of a High Arctic polythermal valley glacier [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

94 GHz Radar Backscatter Characteristics of Alpine Glacier Ice

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Measuring the radar backscatter characteristics of glacier ice at different frequencies and incidence angles is fundamental to predicting the glacier mapping performance of a sensor. However, such measurements at 94 GHz do not exist.

Spatio-temporal variability in geometry and geodetic mass balance of Jostedalsbreen ice cap, Norway

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 2023
The Jostedalsbreen ice cap is mainland Europe's largest ice cap and accommodates 20% (458 km2 in 2019) of the total glacier area of mainland Norway.

Sustained retreat of the Pine Island Glacier [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We use satellite observations to show that, between 1992 and 2011, the Pine Island Glacier hinge line retreated at a rate of 0.95 ± 0.09 km yr−1 despite a progressive steepening and shoaling of the glacier surface and bedrock slopes, respectively, which ...

Glacier classification from Sentinel-2 imagery using spatial-spectral attention convolutional model

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021
Glaciers are critical components of the cryosphere and most sources of water. The Sentinel-2 imagery provides an efficient and cost-effective way for the production of inventories of glaciers.
