Journal of Glaciology, 1955 AbstractA mixture of approximately one part of water to two parts of kaolin (china clay) has proved suitable for making model glaciers on scales between 1 : 1000 and 1 : 10,000. The kaolin “glaciers” crevasse and flow realistically, and slide on their beds.

Journal of Glaciology, 2020 The representation of iceberg calving in numerical models is a key source of uncertainty in century-scale sea-level rise projections. Parameters central to model representations of calving, including the tensile strength of glacier ice, remain poorly ...

Ensemble Kalman Filtering for Glacier Modeling
CoRR, 2022 Working with a two-stage ice sheet model, we explore how statistical data assimilation methods can be used to improve predictions of glacier melt and relatedly, sea level rise. We find that the EnKF improves model runs initialized using incorrect initial conditions or parameters, providing us with better models of future glacier melt.

Analysis of the Image of Global Glacier Tourism Destinations from the Perspective of Tourists
Land, 2022 Glaciers are attracting increasing attention in the context of climate change, and glacier tourism has also become a popular tourist product. However, few studies have been conducted concerning the image of glacier tourism destinations.

What Can We Learn from Comparing Glacio-Hydrological Models?
Atmosphere, 2020 Glacio-hydrological models combine both glacier and catchment hydrology modeling and are used to assess the hydrological response of high-mountain glacierized catchments to climate change. To capture the uncertainties from these model combinations, it is

Simulation of Historic Glacier Variations with a Simple Climate-Glacier Model [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1988 AbstractGlacier variations during the last few centuries have shown a marked coherence over the globe. Characteristic features are the maximum stand somewhere in the middle of the nineteenth century, and the steady retreat afterwards (with some minor interruptions depending on the particular region).

Rock glaciers on the run – understanding rock glacier landform evolution and recent changes from numerical flow modeling [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 Rock glaciers are landforms that form as a result of creeping mountain permafrost which have received considerable attention concerning their dynamical and thermal changes.

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.

A new global dataset of mountain glacier centerlines and lengths [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2022 The length of a glacier is a key determinant of its geometry and is an important parameter in glacier inventories and modeling; glacier centerlines are the lines along which the main flow of glaciers takes place and, thus, are crucial inputs for many ...
