'Calving laws', 'sliding laws' and the stability of tidewater glaciers [PDF]
, 2007 A new calving criterion is introduced, which predicts calving where the depth of surface crevasses equals ice height above sea level. Crevasse depth is calculated from strain rates, and terminus position and calving rate are therefore functions of ice ...

Last Glacial Maximum precipitation pattern in the Alps inferred from glacier modelling
, 2016 . During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), glaciers in the Alps reached a maximum extent, and broad sections of the foreland were covered by ice. In this study, we simulated the alpine ice cap using a glacier flow model to constrain the prevailing ...

Deep learning applied to glacier evolution modelling
The Cryosphere, 2019 . We present a novel approach to simulate and reconstruct annual glacier-wide surface mass balance (SMB) series based on a deep artificial neural network (ANN; i.e. deep learning).

Glacier thickness estimations of alpine glaciers using data and modeling constraints [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 Abstract. Advanced knowledge of the ice thickness distribution within glaciers is of fundamental importance for several purposes, such as water resource management and the study of the impact of climate change. Ice thicknesses can be modeled using ice surface features, but the resulting models can be prone to considerable uncertainties.

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.

Inland thinning of the Amundsen Sea sector, West Antarctica [PDF]
, 2002 [1] Together with the Pine Island glacier (PIG), the Thwaites (TG) and Smith (SG) glaciers are the principal drainage systems of the Amundsen Sea (AS) sector of Western Antarctica.

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 ...
