The 2015 Surge of Hispar Glacier in the Karakoram [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2017 The Karakoram mountain range is well known for its numerous surge-type glaciers of which several have recently surged or are still doing so. Analysis of multi-temporal satellite images and digital elevation models have revealed impressive details about ...

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 ...

Surge-type Uisu glacier and its undisturbed forefield relief, Eastern Pamir, Tajikistan [PDF]
Miscellanea Geographica: Regional Studies on Development, 2022 The surge-type Uisu glacier and its forefield in the Tajik part of Eastern Pamir are described. To this end, 1977–2019 Landsat satellite imagery, the DEM, and a high-resolution orthophotomap were used, and detailed geomorphological mapping was carried ...

A regionally resolved inventory of High Mountain Asia surge-type glaciers, derived from a multi-factor remote sensing approach [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Knowledge about the occurrence and characteristics of surge-type glaciers is crucial due to the impact of surging on glacier melt and glacier-related hazards. One of the super-clusters of surge-type glaciers is High Mountain Asia (HMA).

Characterizing the surge behaviour and associated ice-dammed lake evolution of the Kyagar Glacier in the Karakoram [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Glacier surges are prevalent in the Karakoram and occasionally threaten local residents by inundating land and initiating mass movement events. The Kyagar Glacier is well known for its surge history, and in particular its frequent blocking of the ...

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.

Journal of Glaciology, 2020 Negribreen, a tidewater glacier located in central eastern Svalbard, began actively surging after it experienced an initial collapse in summer 2016. The surge resulted in horizontal surface velocities of more than 25 m d−1, making it one of the fastest ...
