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 ...

Potential climatic transitions with profound impact on Europe [PDF]
, 2011 We discuss potential transitions of six climatic subsystems with large-scale impact on Europe, sometimes denoted as tipping elements. These are the ice sheets on Greenland and West Antarctica, the Atlantic thermohaline circulation, Arctic sea ice, Alpine

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.
