Monitoring Glacier Calving using Underwater Sound [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2023
Abstract. Climate shifts are particularly conspicuous in the Arctic. Satellite and terrestrial observations show significant increases in the melting and breakup of Arctic tidewater glaciers and their influence on sea level rise. Increasing melt rates are creating an urgency to better understand the link between atmospheric and oceanic conditions and ...

Closely monitored glaciers

, 2020
Glaciers in tropical and subtropical regions are characterised by specific functions. Their response to global warming cannot be extrapolated from the observations of mid-latitude or polar latitude glaciers alone.

Enhanced Wide-Area Glacier Velocity Monitoring in Svalbard via Synthetic Aperture Radar Offset Tracking Noise Suppression

Applied Sciences
Glacier movement is an important indicator of climate change, reflecting the quality and state changes in glacier migration and mass balance in the context of global warming.

A new index of glacier area change: a tool for glacier monitoring [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology, 2009
AbstractSince the mid-19th century, most glaciers have been losing area and volume. This loss of area has not been homogeneous in time and space, and direct observations are sparse, making regional and global estimates of glacier change difficult.

Continuous monitoring of a glacier’s extinction

Annals of Glaciology
Pizolgletscher, Swiss Alps, was already a very small glacier when the monitoring of length change was initiated 130 years ago. In situ mass balance measurements at seasonal resolution began in 2006.

Worldwide version-controlled database of glacier thickness observations [PDF]

Earth System Science Data, 2020
Although worldwide inventories of glacier area have been coordinated internationally for several decades, a similar effort for glacier ice thicknesses was only initiated in 2013.

3D GLACIER MAPPING BY MEANS OF SATELLITE STEREO IMAGES: THE BELVEDERE GLACIER CASE STUDY IN THE ITALIAN ALPS [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2020
The authors group is within the Glacier Lab of Politecnico di Torino (part of the CC-LAB, a laboratory for climate change monitoring), which is working on glacier monitoring since 2016, mainly exploiting Geomatics techniques to measure the extent and to ...

Democratizing Glacier Data – Maturity of Worldwide Datasets and Future Ambitions

Frontiers in Climate, 2022
The creation and curation of environmental data present numerous challenges and rewards. In this study, we reflect on the increasing amount of freely available glacier data (inventories and changes), as well as on related demands by data providers, data ...

Classifying disequilibrium of small mountain glaciers from patterns of surface elevation change distributions

Journal of Glaciology, 2022
The overall trend of rapid retreat of Alpine glaciers contains considerable variability of responses at the scale of individual glaciers. As a step towards a regional assessment of glacier state that allows a detailed differentiation of single glaciers ...

ICEPY4D: A PYTHON TOOLKIT FOR ADVANCED MULTI-EPOCH GLACIER MONITORING WITH DEEP-LEARNING PHOTOGRAMMETRY [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2023
Glacier monitoring plays a crucial role in understanding the impacts of climate change on these dynamic natural systems. One or more time-lapse cameras are often employed to acquire short-term observations of glacier flow dynamics.
