A comparison of glacier melt on debris-covered glaciers in the northern and southern Caucasus [PDF]
, 2011 The glacier coverage in the Caucasus Mountains underwent considerable changes during the last decades. In some regions, the observed reduction in glacier area is comparable to those in the European Alps and the extent of supra-glacial debris increased on

'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 ...

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.

Radioglaciological studies on Hurd Peninsula glaciers, Livingston Island, Antarctica [PDF]
, 2009 We present the results of several radio-echo sounding surveys carried out on Johnsons and Hurd Glaciers, Livingston Island, Antarctica, between the 1999/2000 and 2004/05 austral summer campaigns, which included both radar profiling and common-midpoint ...

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.
