Sustained retreat of the Pine Island Glacier [PDF]
, 2013 We use satellite observations to show that, between 1992 and 2011, the Pine Island Glacier hinge line retreated at a rate of 0.95 ± 0.09 km yr−1 despite a progressive steepening and shoaling of the glacier surface and bedrock slopes, respectively, which ...

Proceedings of the Indian National Science Academy, 2017 Polar ice is an important component of the natural system, affecting global climate on large as well as small scale. The Antarctic ice sheet has undergone significant changes in the past and governed the earth’s climatic system. This ice sheet appears to have been very dynamic and yet, not much is known about the processes involved for this dynamism ...

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

Glacier monitoring by satellite
Il Nuovo Cimento C, 1983 A multitemporal analysis on the Mount Disgrazia glaciers was performed by using the 1975, 1978 and 1980 MSS Landsat images. On these images the glaciers were completely described in their boundaries and surface features. Fixed structures were used along their boundaries as fiducial points of the ground control table for the multitemporal comparison of ...

WGMS (2008): global glacier changes: facts and figures [PDF]
, 2008 Changes in glaciers and ice caps provide some of the clearest evidence of climate change, and as such they constitute key variables for early detection strategies in global climate-related observations.

Which glaciers are the largest in the world?
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Glacier monitoring has been internationally coordinated for more than 125 years. Despite this long history, there is no authoritative answer to the popular question: ‘Which glaciers are the largest in the world?’ Here, we present the first systematic ...

Decay of a long-term monitored glacier: Careser Glacier (Ortles-Cevedale, European Alps) [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2013 Abstract. The continuation of valuable, long-term glacier observation series is threatened by the accelerated mass loss which currently affects a large portion of so-called "benchmark" glaciers. In this work we present the evolution of the Careser Glacier, from the beginning of systematic observation at the end of the 19th century to its current ...
