On non-dimensional forms of basal sliding laws and flow laws for ice-sheet and glacier modelling
Journal of GlaciologyIce sheets and glaciers flow through basal sliding and internal deformation, each governed by physical laws commonly expressed as power-law relations. These formulations include coefficients—the sliding coefficient and rate factor—whose values and units ...

Modelling regional glacier length changes over the last millennium using the Open Global Glacier Model [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 A large majority of the direct observational record for glacier changes falls within the industrial period, from the 19th century onward, associated with global glacier retreat.

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

Ice-flow model emulator based on physics-informed deep learning
Journal 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
Annals 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
Scientific 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]
Polish 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.

Journal 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.

The role of glacier changes and threshold definition in the characterisation of future streamflow droughts in glacierised catchments [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2018 Glaciers are essential hydrological reservoirs, storing and releasing water at various timescales. Short-term variability in glacier melt is one of the causes of streamflow droughts, here defined as deficiencies from the flow regime.
