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 ...

As a geophysical fluid dynamics phenomenon, glacier motion has features in common with some of the other terrestrial and planetary flows considered in this book, but it also has a number of special features that give it a character of its own. It can be compared to mantle flow and convection: both involve slow flow of essentially incompressible fluids ...

Digital Terrain Modeling and Glacier Topographic Characterization
2014The Earth’s topography results from dynamic interactions involving climate, tectonics, and surface processes. In this chapter our main interest is in describing and illustrating how satellite-derived DEMs (and other DEMs) can be used to derive information about glacier dynamical changes.

<p> <span>Up to 30% of the global tidewater mass loss corresponds to frontal ablation through submarine melting and calving. However, the glacier-fjord interactions remain poorly understood and challenging to constrain in the models.

The wording term “glacier modeling” is used in a generic sense for describing numerical simulations of glaciers and glacier related processes. Glacier modeling activities can be subdivided into four main branches reflecting the interactions between glaciers and other compartments of the earth system.

Multivariate models for predicting glacier termini
Environmental Earth Sciences, 2017Concerns over the rapid retreat rates of mountain glaciers have been rising as global temperatures have continued to increase. The extent of variation in the retreat of mountain glaciers can provide information about changes to different climatic conditions.

Accurate modelling of glacier flow
1981Recent interest in climatic change and ice .sheet variations points out the need for accurate and numerically stable models of time-dependent ice masses. Little attention has been paid to this topic by the glaciological community, and there is good reason to believe that much of the published literature on numerical modelling of the flow of glaciers ...

Modelling of Glacier Mass Balance
1993The energy balance of the ice/snow surface is the dominating factor with regard to mass balance of glaciers in warm environments (currently all ice outside Antarctica). It is shown that an energy balance model is able to generate realistic mass-balance profiles from climate data for glaciers in widely differing climatic settings.

Alpine-wide LIA glacier reconstruction and ELA patterns using glacier modelling
The maximum extent of the glaciers in the European Alps during the Little Ice Age (LIA) is relatively well known. However, the ice surface geometry and related ice volume are still poorly constrained. We provide an Alpine-wide reconstruction of glacier thickness using the novel Instructed Glacier Model (IGM).Andreas Henz +3 more
