Earth's FutureClimate change poses a serious risk for the freshwater ecosystem of Western Patagonia and threatens glacial and non‐glacial water resources. Here, we model the historical glacio‐hydrology of 2,236 catchments across the Western Patagonia, and project ...

Simulations of snow distribution and hydrology in a mountain basin [PDF]
, 1999 We applied a version of the Regional Hydro‐Ecologic Simulation System (RHESSys) that implements snow redistribution, elevation partitioning, and wind‐driven sublimation to Loch Vale Watershed (LVWS), an alpine‐subalpine Rocky Mountain catchment where ...

Anisotropic Radial Basis Function Methods for Continental Size Ice Sheet Simulations
, 2017 In this paper we develop and implement anisotropic radial basis function methods for simulating the dynamics of ice sheets and glaciers. We test the methods on two problems: the well-known benchmark ISMIP-HOM B that corresponds to a glacier size ice and ...

Ice‐Dynamic Constraints on Glacier Climatic Mass Balance Using Inverse Techniques
Geophysical Research LettersAccurate glacier climatic mass balance (CMB) modeling relies on pertinent atmospheric data for forcing and in situ stake measurements for calibration, which are often sparse or unavailable in remote high‐mountain regions.

Modeling glacio-hydrological processes in the Himalayas: A review and future perspectives
Geography and SustainabilityThe Himalayas and their surrounding areas boast vast glaciers rivaling those in polar regions, supplying vital meltwater to the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra rivers, supporting over a billion downstream inhabitants for drinking, power, and agriculture ...

, 2008 During the past few decades the study of glaciers and their response to climate change has shown a strong development. Early theoretical work in the fifties and sixties has been complemented by the construction of numerical models of glaciers and ice sheets with various degrees of complexity.

A multi-level strategy for anticipating future glacier lake formation and associated hazard potentials [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2010 In the course of glacier retreat, new glacier lakes can develop. As such lakes can be a source of natural hazards, strategies for predicting future glacier lake formation are important for an early planning of safety measures.

Using Metaphorical Models for Describing Glaciers
International Journal of Science Education, 2014 To date, there has only been little conceptual change research regarding conceptions about glaciers. This study used the theoretical background of embodied cognition to reconstruct different metaphorical concepts with respect to the structure of a glacier.

Tidewater and lake-terminating glaciers are systematically thicker
Journal of GlaciologyGlaciers that terminate in the ocean or lakes exhibit unique dynamics that can drive rapid change. These dynamics, governed by many complex and interacting processes, challenge calibration and validation of physics-based models.
