Efficiency of artificial neural networks for glacier ice-thickness estimation: a case study in western Himalaya, India

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2021
Knowledge of glacier volume is crucial for ice flow modelling and predicting the impacts of climate change on glaciers. Rugged terrain, harsh weather conditions and logistic costs limit field-based ice thickness observations in the Himalaya.

Modelling glacier-bed overdeepenings and possible future lakes for the glaciers in the Himalaya—Karakoram region

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 2016
Surface digital elevation models (DEMs) and slope-related estimates of glacier thickness enable modelling of glacier-bed topographies over large ice-covered areas.

Mid-Holocene thinning of David Glacier, Antarctica: chronology and controls [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2021
Quantitative satellite observations only provide an assessment of ice sheet mass loss over the last four decades. To assess long-term drivers of ice sheet change, geological records are needed. Here we present the first millennial-scale reconstruction of

Modelling supraglacial debris-cover evolution from the single-glacier to the regional scale: an application to High Mountain Asia [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2022
Currently, about 12 %–13 % of High Mountain Asia’s glacier area is debris-covered, which alters its surface mass balance. However, in regional-scale modelling approaches, debris-covered glaciers are typically treated as clean-ice glaciers, leading to a ...

Coupled climate-glacier modelling of the last glaciation in the Alps

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2023
Our limited knowledge of the climate prevailing over Europe during former glaciations is the main obstacle to reconstruct the past evolution of the ice coverage over the Alps by numerical modelling.

Ice-flow model emulator based on physics-informed deep learning

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2023
Convolutional neural networks (CNN) trained from high-order ice-flow model realisations have proven to be outstanding emulators in terms of fidelity and computational performance.

Coupled 3-D full-Stokes modelling of tidewater glaciers

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 2022
Tidewater glaciers are an important and difficult part of the cryosphere to study owing to their complex nature and often inaccessible and physically challenging environments. The interaction of glacier and fjord processes furthermore presents particular

Modelling evolution of a large, glacier-fed lake in the Western Indian Himalaya

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
In this study, we simulated the evolution of a large glacier-fed lake called the Gepan Gath lake located in Western Himalayas by numerically modelling the evolution of the Gepan Gath glacier that feeds the lake.

Energy mass balance and temperature-index melt modelling of Werenskioldbreen, Svalbard [PDF]

open access: yesPolish Polar Research, 2022
Studying the reaction of glaciers to climate warming and the interactions of ice masses with the atmosphere is cognitively highly significant and contributes to understanding the climate change.

A note on the snout

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2023
The shallow ice approximation for glaciers and ice sheets is a degenerate model in which the ice surface slope at the margin may be infinite. This result is due to the neglect of the otherwise small longitudinal stress terms.
