Journal 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.

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

Modelling the future evolution of glaciers in the European Alps under the EURO-CORDEX RCM ensemble
The Cryosphere, 2018 . Glaciers in the European Alps play an important role in the hydrological cycle, act as a source for hydroelectricity and have a large touristic importance. The future evolution of these glaciers is driven by surface mass balance and ice flow processes,

Simulation, modeling and authoring of glaciers [PDF]
ACM Transactions on Graphics, 2020 Glaciers are some of the most visually arresting and scenic elements of cold regions and high mountain landscapes. Although snow-covered terrains have previously received attention in computer graphics, simulating the temporal evolution of glaciers as well as modeling their wide range of features has never been addressed.

Journal of Glaciology, 2023 We investigate the physical basis of the crevasse-depth (CD) calving law by analysing relationships between glaciological stresses and calving behaviour at Sermeq Kujalleq (Store Glacier), Greenland.

Thermal structure and basal sliding parametrisation at Pine Island Glacier – a 3-D full-Stokes model study [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 Pine Island Glacier is one of the fastest changing glaciers of the Antarctic Ice Sheet and therefore of scientific interest. The glacier holds enough ice to raise the global sea level significantly (~ 0.5 m) when fully melted.

Future high-mountain hydrology: a new parameterization of glacier retreat [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2010 Global warming is expected to significantly affect the runoff regime of mountainous catchments. Simple methods for calculating future glacier change in hydrological models are required in order to reliably assess economic impacts of changes in the water ...

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.

A Bayesian ice thickness estimation model for large-scale applications
Journal of Glaciology, 2020 Accurate estimations of ice thickness and volume are indispensable for ice flow modelling, hydrological forecasts and sea-level rise projections. We present a new ice thickness estimation model based on a mass-conserving forward model and a Bayesian ...
