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

Experiments with model glaciers
Geographical Review of Japan, 1926 A piece of apparatus was designed with which it was hoped to determine the relative rates at which glacier ice would respond by flow to the same head at varying depth pressures. The primary object of the experiments was frustrated, but measurements were secured which permitted the plotting of a curve showing the approximate relation of rate of flow and

Journal of Glaciology, 2020 We present a newly developed 1-D numerical energy-balance and phase transition supraglacial lake model: GlacierLake. GlacierLake incorporates snowfall, in situ snow and ice melt, incoming water from the surrounding catchment, ice lid formation, basal ...

Instabilities on Alpine temperate glaciers: new insights arising from the numerical modelling of Allalingletscher (Valais, Switzerland) [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012 The processes leading to a glacier instability depend on the thermal properties of the contact between the glacier and its bedrock. Assessing the stability of temperate glacier (i.e. the glacier can slide on its bedrock) remains problematic.

A minimal model of a tidewater glacier [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2005 AbstractWe propose a simple, highly parameterized model of a tidewater glacier. The mean ice thickness and the ice thickness at the glacier front are parameterized in terms of glacier length and, when the glacier is calving, water depth. We use a linear relation between calving rate and water depth.

Journal of Glaciology, 2017 The extensive dataset of Variegated Glacier's 1982/83 surge and antecedent quiescent phase is fragmentary and predominantly of flow line nature. Applying the raw centre line data in a flow line model to conduct research into the mechanism behind ...

Sensitivity of grounding line dynamics to the choice of the friction law
Journal of Glaciology, 2017 Basal slip accounts for a large part of the flow of ice streams draining ice from Antarctica and Greenland into the ocean. Therefore, an appropriate representation of basal slip in ice flow models is a prerequisite for accurate sea level rise projections.

Molecular characterization of covRS mutations in M1UK Streptococcus pyogenes
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Group A Streptococcus (GAS) acquires covRS mutations driving a hypervirulent bacterial state, frequently associated with invasive disease‐like necrotizing fasciitis. We demonstrate that the newly emerged M1UK GAS lineage can also acquire these mutations.
