Modeling Periodically Surging Glaciers
Science, 1974A numerical model has been developed which produces periodic surging as a characteristic of some glaciers for a certain accumulation and bedrock distribution in contrast to the normal steady state for nonsurging glaciers. Results are presented to illustrate how the magnitude of changes in the length, thickness, and velocity of surging glaciers can be ...

Mass balance estimation of Mulkila glacier, Western Himalayas, using glacier melt model
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2022One of the main water supplies in Asia is known to be melting water from Himalayan glaciers. One of the most important metrics to analyze and evaluate potential shifts in freshwater supplies from glacier storage is the estimate of mass balance. The present study aims at estimating the glacier mass balance with the help of remote sensing and in situ ...

Tidewater glaciers in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, are retreating, and it is expected that they will terminate on land at some time in the future. Plumes, the submerged runoff emerging at the bases of tidewater glacier fronts, contribute to large-scale ...

Glacier Fluctuations and Simple Glacier Models
2020This chapter details the formulation and analysis of simple mathematical models that describe the response of glaciers to mass balance changes. The primary focus is on glacier length fluctuations. Key aspects studied include the response time and sensitivity of different glaciers to changes in climate, and the use of models to reconstruct past ...

Evolution of rock glaciers and alpine glaciers: A model–model approach
2003The effects of horizontal stress transmission on the transient evolution of non-linear viscous bodies having aspects ratios similar to active alpine rock glaciers is investigated. This is done through a comparison between a shallow-ice model, which predicts material flux to be a local function of thickness and slope, and a finite-element model, which ...

Modelling ice flow in various Glacier zones
Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, 2001The authors propose a simplified model of plane isothermal stationary ice flow in the surface part, shelf and transition region of ice and ice-shelf interacting with the sea. The results of dynamics analysis of the ice interface region are presented for axisymmetric ice flow.

Modelling debris-covered glacier melt
2023Meltwater from glaciers contributes to hydro-electricity and agricultural production in some places, and model predictions of glacier melt can inform water management decisions. However, predictions are inherently uncertain. Accurately constrained uncertainty can be key to success of management decisions.

Laboratory Models of Glacier Dynamics
Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1972Excellent laboratory models of glaciers were produced by pouring a mixture of molding plaster and water down a prefashioned trough of nonabsorbent material. The plaster models simulate the dynamics of glacier flow and accurately display many surface and internal structures common to real glaciers, including crevasse and flow patterns, icefalls and ...
