Tidewater Glacier Surges Initiated at the Terminus [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research F: Earth Surface, 2018
AbstractThere have been numerous reports that surges of tidewater glaciers in Svalbard were initiated at the terminus and propagated up‐glacier, in contrast with downglacier‐propagating surges of land‐terminating glaciers. Most of these surges were poorly documented, and the cause of this behavior was unknown.

Glacier Surge Mechanism: 1982-1983 Surge of Variegated Glacier, Alaska

Science, 1985
The hundredfold speedup in glacier motion in a surge of the kind that took place in Variegated Glacier in 1982-1983 is caused by the buildup of high water pressure in the basal passageway system, which is made possible by a fundamental and pervasive change in the geometry and water-transport characteristics of this system.

Heterogeneity in Karakoram Glacier Surges [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research F: Earth Surface, 2015
AbstractMany Karakoram glaciers periodically undergo surges during which large volumes of ice and debris are rapidly transported downglacier, usually at a rate of 1–2 orders of magnitude greater than during quiescence. Here we identify eight recent surges in the region and map their surface velocities using cross‐correlation feature tracking on optical

Modeling Periodically Surging Glaciers

Science, 1974
A numerical model has been developed which produces periodic surging as a characteristic of some glaciers for a certain accumulation and bedrock distribution in contrast to the normal steady state for nonsurging glaciers. Results are presented to illustrate how the magnitude of changes in the length, thickness, and velocity of surging glaciers can be ...

What are glacier surges?

Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 1969
A total of 204 surging glaciers has been identified in western North America. These glaciers surge repeatedly and probably with uniform periods (from about 15 to greater than 100 years). Ice flow rates during the active phase may range from about 150 m/year to > 6 km/year, and horizontal displacements may range from < 1 to > 11 km.
