Mass balance of glacier No. 139 in the basin of Lake Karakul in the Eastern Pamirs
Central Asian Journal of Water Research, 2022 Mountain glaciers, including the poorly examined glaciers of Lake Karakul Basin, are considered the most vulnerable part of the cryosphere directly reacting to the changing climatic conditions.

Ice thickness estimates of Lemon Creek Glacier, Alaska, from active-source seismic imaging
Journal of Glaciology, 2021 Lemon Creek Glacier, a temperate valley glacier in the Juneau Icefield of Southeast Alaska, is the site of long running (>60 years) glaciological studies.

Journal of GlaciologyPeru hosts a significant portion of the world’s tropical glaciers, which are undergoing rapid mass loss due to climate change. Knowledge of the ice volume and bedrock topography of these glaciers is important for predicting changes in glacier dynamics ...

The future is Nye: an extension of the perfect plastic approximation to tidewater glaciers
Journal of Glaciology, 2016 Accurate modeling of calving glaciers relies on knowledge of many processes (ice flow, surface/submarine melting, calving, mélange interaction) and glacier-specific factors (air temperature, ocean circulation, precipitation rate, glacier geometry) that ...

Influence of snow cover on the thermal regime of a polythermal glacier in Western Spitsbergen
Лëд и снег, 2015 Influence of snow cover, climate and glacier parameters on the cold-ice layer thickness and thermal regime in the ablation area of a polythermal glacier in Western Svalbard was investigated.

Committed retreat: controls on glacier disequilibrium in a warming climate
Journal of Glaciology, 2018 The widespread retreat of mountain glaciers is a striking emblem of recent climate change. Yet mass-balance observations indicate that many glaciers are out of equilibrium with current climate, meaning that observed retreats do not show the full response

Reduced basal motion responsible for 50 years of declining ice velocities on Athabasca Glacier
Journal of GlaciologyThe time-evolution of glacier basal motion remains poorly constrained, despite its importance in understanding the response of glaciers to climate warming.

Ice shelf evolution combining flow, flexure, and fracture
Journal of GlaciologyIce shelves regulate ice sheet dynamics, with their stability influenced by horizontal flow and vertical flexure. MacAyeal and others (2021) developed the theoretical foundation for a coupled flow-flexure model (the “M21 model”), combining the Shallow ...
