Glacier thickness estimations of alpine glaciers using data and modeling constraints [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2019
Abstract. Advanced knowledge of the ice thickness distribution within glaciers is of fundamental importance for several purposes, such as water resource management and the study of the impact of climate change. Ice thicknesses can be modeled using ice surface features, but the resulting models can be prone to considerable uncertainties.

Glacier dynamics near the calving front of Bowdoin Glacier, northwestern Greenland [PDF]

, 2015
To better understand recent rapid recession of marine-terminating glaciers in Greenland, we performed satellite and field observations near the calving front of Bowdoin Glacier, a 3 km wide outlet glacier in northwestern Greenland.

Glacial dynamics in pre-Alpine narrow valleys during the Last Glacial Maximum inferred by lowland fluvial records (northeast Italy) [PDF]

, 2018
During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), most of the major glaciated basins of the European Southern Alps had piedmont lobes with large outwash plains; only a few glaciers remained within the valley.

Assessment of glacier lakes development potential in the Central Caucasus

Лëд и снег, 2020
Glacier mass loss and consequent terminus retreat lead to formation and growth of glacier lakes. In Caucasus outbursts of glacial lakes formed in recent decades have led to human casualties and significant damage. In this study the location and volume of

Progress in paleoclimate modeling [PDF]

, 2006
International audienceThis paper briefly surveys areas of paleoclimate modeling notable for recent progress. New ideas, including hypotheses giving a pivotal role to sea ice, have revitalized the low-order models used to simulate the time evolution of ...

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).

Modeled Climate-Induced Glacier Change in Glacier National Park, 1850–2100 [PDF]

BioScience, 2003
consequences of glacier retreat by creating spatially explicit models of the creation and ablation of glaciers and of the response of vegetation to climate change. We determined the melt rate and spatial distribution of glaciers under two possible future climate scenarios, one based on carbon dioxide‐induced global warming and the other on a linear ...

Experiments with model glaciers

Geographical Review of Japan, 1926
A piece of apparatus was designed with which it was hoped to determine the relative rates at which glacier ice would respond by flow to the same head at varying depth pressures. The primary object of the experiments was frustrated, but measurements were secured which permitted the plotting of a curve showing the approximate relation of rate of flow and

Coupling a global glacier model to a global hydrological model prevents underestimation of glacier runoff

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2022
Abstract. Global hydrological models have become a valuable tool for a range of global impact studies related to water resources. However, glacier parameterization is often simplistic or non-existent in global hydrological models. By contrast, global glacier models do represent complex glacier dynamics and glacier evolution, and as such, they hold the ...

Simulating seasonal evolution of subglacial hydrology at a surging glacier in the Karakoram

Journal of Glaciology
Glacier motion, retreat and glacier hazards such as surges and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are likely underpinned by subglacial hydrology. Recent advances in subglacial hydrological modeling allow us to shed light on subglacial processes that ...
