Mass balance and hydrological modeling of the Hardangerjøkulen ice cap in south-central Norway [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2021 A detailed, physically based, one dimensional column snowpack model (Crocus) has been incorporated into the hydrological model, Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)-Hydro, to allow for direct surface mass balance simulation of glaciers and subsequent ...

Journal of Glaciology, 2022 Upernavik Isstrøm, a marine glacier undergoing rapid retreat, is simulated by forcing a numerical model with ocean-driven melt. A review of processes driving retreat led us to hypothesize that a glacier undergoing rapid retreat may be less sensitive to ...

Ice‐Dynamical Glacier Evolution Modeling—A Review
Reviews of Geophysics, 2022 AbstractGlaciers play a crucial role in the Earth System: they are important water suppliers to lower‐lying areas during hot and dry periods, and they are major contributors to the observed present‐day sea‐level rise. Glaciers can also act as a source of natural hazards and have a major touristic value.

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 ...

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.

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

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 ...
