A REVIEW OF SURGE-TYPE GLACIERS [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2021
The study of glacier surges is meaningful for the understanding of glacier dynamics and the mechanisms of surge-type glaciers. Here, we briefly introduce the distribution of surge-type glaciers and the reason of their tendency to cluster within ...

Geometric Evolution of the Chongce Glacier during 1970–2020, Detected by Multi-Source Satellite Observations

Remote Sensing, 2021
Glacier surge, which causes a quick movement of ice mass from high to low elevation, is closely associated to the glacial hazards of debris flows and glacial lake outburst floods.

Spatial-Temporal Characteristics of Glacier Velocity in the Central Karakoram Revealed with 1999–2003 Landsat-7 ETM+ Pan Images

Remote Sensing, 2017
The situation of stable and slightly advancing glaciers in the Karakoram is called the “Karakoram anomaly”. Glacier surface velocity is one of the key parameters of glacier dynamics and mass balance, however, the response of glacier motion to this ...

Glacier Mass Balance Pattern and Its Variation Mechanism in the West Kunlun Mountains in Tibetan Plateau

Remote Sensing, 2022
Mass balance observations are beneficial for assessing climate change in different world regions. This study analyzed the glacier elevation change, ice flux divergence, and surface mass balance (SMB) in the West Kunlun Mountains (WKM) on the Tibetan ...

Reconstruction of Petermann glacier velocity time series using multi-source remote sensing images

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Glacier velocity is one of the crucial parameters in the research of glacier dynamics. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR), as an active microwave sensor, represents a common method to monitor glacier velocity.

Upcycling Keratin‐Based Textile Waste Into High‐Performance Hybrid Fibers Via Tuning the Interfacial Interactions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Keratin recovered from animal‐hair textile waste is fractionated and blended with cellulose to produce continuously spun hybrid fibers. Selecting the high‐molecular‐weight keratin fraction enables 30 wt.% keratin incorporation while maintaining high strength in dry and wet states.

Thinning-induced glacier deceleration in the Zanskar Himalayas [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Trends in surface velocity provide insight into glacier response to climate change as well as local drivers of ice dynamics. The Zanskar Himalayas are heavily glacierised, and retreating glaciers pose a threat to local and regional water security ...
