Implications of climate change on Glacier de la Plaine Morte, Switzerland [PDF]
Geographica Helvetica, 2013 Changes in Switzerland's climate are expected to have major impacts on glaciers, the hydrological regime and the natural hazard potential in mountainous regions.

Enthalpy balance theory unifies diverse glacier surge behaviour
Annals of Glaciology, 2022 It is commonly asserted that there are two distinct classes of glacier surges: slow, long-duration ‘Svalbard-type’ surges, triggered by a transition from cold- to warm-based conditions (thermal switching), and fast, shorter-duration ‘Alaska-type’ surges ...

Marine outlet glacier dynamics, steady states and steady-state stability
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 Laterally confined marine outlet glaciers exhibit a diverse range of behaviours. This study investigates time-evolving and steady configurations of such glaciers.

Journal of Glaciology, 2023 The Tian Shan mountain range, known as the water towers of Central Asia, plays a key role in local water supply, yet large uncertainties remain about the amount of water that is stored in its glaciers.

A Model of a Surging Glacier [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1972 Abstract As the cause of a surge we assume a sudden improvement of the sliding conditions at the glacier bed. This improvement has the same effect on the behaviour of the glacier as an equivalent variation of the annual balance. We are therefore able to apply Nye’s (1963) theory of the advance and retreat of glaciers to our problem. A

Robust reconstruction of glacier beds using transient 2D assimilation with Stokes
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Initialising model glaciers such that they match well with their real counterparts and are thus able to make more accurate predictions is an ongoing challenge in glacier modelling.

Limited impact of climate forcing products on future glacier evolution in Scandinavia and Iceland
Journal of Glaciology, 2021 Due to climate change, worldwide glaciers are rapidly declining. The trend will continue into the future, with consequences for sea level, water availability and tourism.

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.

Inversion of a glacier hydrology model [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 ABSTRACTThe subglacial hydrologic system exerts strong controls on the dynamics of the overlying ice, yet the parameters that govern the evolution of this system are not widely known or observable. To gain a better understanding of these parameters, we invert a spatially averaged model of subglacial hydrology from observations of ice surface velocity ...

Physically based modelling of glacier evolution under climate change in the tropical Andes [PDF]
The CryosphereIn recent years, opportunities have opened up to develop and validate glacier models in regions that have previously been infeasible due to observation and/or computational constraints thanks to the availability of globally capable glacier evolution ...
