Initiation of a major calving event on the Bowdoin Glacier captured by UAV photogrammetry [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2017
In this paper, we analyse the calving activity of the Bowdoin Glacier, north-western Greenland, in 2015 by combining satellite images, UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) photogrammetry and ice flow modelling.

Predicting glacier accumulation area distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A mass balance model based on energy balance at the terrain surface was developed and used to predict glacier accumulation areas in the Jotunheimen, Norway.

Recent glacier decline in the Kerguelen Islands (49°S, 69°E) derived from modeling, field observations, and satellite data

open access: yes, 2015
Date of Acceptance: 28/02/2015The retreat of glaciers in the Kerguelen Islands (49°S, 69°E) and their associated climatic causes have been analyzed using field data and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite images to validate a ...

Testing hypotheses of the cause of peripheral thinning of the Greenland Ice Sheet: is land-terminating ice thinning at anomalously high rates? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Recent observations have shown that the periphery of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) is thinning rapidly and that this thinning is greatest around marine-terminating outlet glaciers. Several theories have been proposed which provide a link between climate

Remotely sensed debris thickness mapping of Bara Shigri Glacier, Indian Himalaya [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Despite the important role of supraglacial debris in ablation, knowledge of debris thickness on Himalayan glaciers is sparse. A recently developed method based on reanalysis data and thermal band satellite imagery has proved to be potentially suitable ...

Elevation-Dependent Glacier Albedo Modelling Using Machine Learning and a Multi-Algorithm Satellite Approach in Svalbard

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Glacier surface albedo controls solar energy absorption and Arctic mass balance, yet comprehensive modelling approaches remain limited. This study develops and validates multiple modelling frameworks for glacier albedo prediction using automatic weather ...

Modeling Ablation on Place Glacier, British Columbia, from Glacier and Off-glacier Data Sets [PDF]

open access: yesArctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2009
Abstract The results of two simulations of hourly ablation, from late July to September 2002, at a site on the Place Glacier are described. First, ablation is modeled from a data set collected at the glacier site; second, from a data set collected off-glacier at a site below the glacier tongue.

Assessing glacier retreat and landform production at the ‘debris-charged’ snout of Kvíárjökull, Iceland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Iceland is a critical location for the study of glacier fluctuations and landform production in response to climate change due to its diverse glacial legacy and its archive of aerial photographs that provide accurately dated records of glacier retreat ...

Modelling Glaciers in the HARMONIE-AROME NWP model [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Science and Research, 2017
Abstract. HARMONIE-AROME is a convection-permitting non-hydrostatic model that includes the multi-purpose SURFEX surface model. It is developed for high resolution (1–3 km) weather forecasting and applied in a number of regions in Europe and the Mediterranean. A version of HARMONIE-AROME is also under development for regional climate modelling. Here we

Advance and thickening of the tidewater outlet glacier Eqalorutsit Kangilliit Sermiat surrounded by the thinning southern Greenland ice sheet

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology
Although most Greenland glaciers have undergone thinning and frontal retreat in recent decades, the tidewater glacier Eqalorutsit Kangilliit Sermiat in South Greenland departs from this regional pattern.
