Crevasses triggered on Pine Island Glacier by drilling through an exceptional melt layer [PDF]

, 2010
The basic theory of crevasse formation suggests that crevasses initiate at or near the surface. However, due to variations in stress with depth, it has been suggested that it is possible for crevasses to initiate at depths of 10–30m.

ESTIMATION OF SHIE GLACIER SURFACE MOVEMENT USING OFFSET TRACKING TECHNIQUE WITH COSMO-SKYMED IMAGES [PDF]

ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2017
Movement is one of the most important characteristics of glaciers which can cause serious natural disasters. For this reason, monitoring this massive blocks is a crucial task.

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.

A 70 year chronicle of the evolution of Echaurren Norte Glacier, Central Andes of Chile

Annals of Glaciology
The Echaurren Norte Glacier mass balance time series is the longest in the Southern Hemisphere, thus it is—together with the Zongo Glacier in Bolivia—a reference glacier by the World Glacier Monitoring Service.

GlacioTools: Streamlining Glacier Feature Monitoring and Reporting in QGIS [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
Mountain glaciers are highly sensitive to climate change, having lost nearly half their surface area and two-thirds of their volume in the European Alps since 1850.

Subglacial drainage processes at a High Arctic polythermal valley glacier [PDF]

, 2005
Dye-tracer experiments undertaken over two summer melt seasons at polythermal John Evans Glacier, Ellesmere Island, Canada, were designed to investigate the character of the subglacial drainage system and its evolution over a melt season. In both summers,

Monitoring of Glacier Surfaces with Photogrammetry, a Case Study of the Triglav Glacier

Acta geographica Slovenica, 2000
The relatively rapid changes of the shape and volume of glaciers that have been recorded in the last few decades can be monitored and recorded in different ways. Photogrammetry, the science of obtaining metrical data about the environment from photographs, is especially appropriate for this task.

Vanishing of the Glacier Yanamarey, one of the four glaciers with in situ measurements in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru

Annals of Glaciology
The Tropical Andes stand out as one of the mountain regions most affected by global warming. Here, we present a synthesis of recent glacier evolution in the Cordillera Blanca, based on the glaciers that have been monitored with in situ glaciological ...

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.
