Medvezhiy Glacier surge in 2011
Лëд и снег, 2015 The paper presents results of monitoring of the Medvezhiy Glacier state for the period from its surge of 2001 to the last pulsation of 2011. This monitoring is performed based on the photographing made from the Russian section of the International Space ...

Brief communication: Storstrømmen Glacier, northeastern Greenland, primed for end-of-decade surge [PDF]
The CryosphereStorstrømmen Glacier, a large surge-type marine-terminating glacier in northeastern Greenland, is currently in a quiescent phase. We reassess the glacier's development toward a potential surge by updating time series of surface elevation, ice velocity ...

Glacier surge at Usherbreen, Svalbard [PDF]
Polar Research, 1987 Usherbreen started to surge in 1978, and the front has advanced 1.5 km and covered an area of 4.5 km2. During the first two years the front advanced more than 1 m/d, and the front was still advancing 0.15– 0.20m/d in 1985, seven years after the start. The mean gradient of the lower 7 km decreased from 3.3 grad. to 1.8 grad. during the surge. The volume

Surge history and dynamics of Fisher Glacier, Yukon, 1948–2022
Journal of GlaciologyRemotely sensed datasets indicate that Fisher Glacier underwent two surges since 1948: during approximately 1969–72 and 2013–16. These were characterized by an advanced terminus position (terminus-wide average advance 571 ± 143 m from 1963 to 1972 and ...

Surge of the Bivachny Glacier in 2012–2015 [PDF]
Лëд и снег, 2015 The surge of the Bivachny Glacier that occurred in 2012–2015 is analyzed with the use of photographing performed from International Space Station in 2001–2015 together with data of the satellite monitoring of 1972–2000.

Characteristics of the 15-year surge of Mittie Glacier, SE Ellesmere Island, Canadian Arctic
Annals of GlaciologyA surge of Mittie Glacier, a 50 km-long tidewater outlet glacier of Manson Icefield, occurred between approximately 1992 and 2007. Velocities increased slowly at first, but then increased rapidly to reach a peak of 4800 m a−1 in early 1996, the highest ...

Brief Communication: On the magnitude and frequency of Khurdopin glacier surge events [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 The return periods of Karakoram glacier surges are poorly quantified. Here, we present evidence of an historic surge of the Khurdopin Glacier that began in the mid-1970s and peaked in 1979.

Geophysical Research LettersLong‐term records of the flow patterns and dynamics of surge‐type glaciers improve our understanding of their underlying dynamic processes, and are critical to better resolve their contribution to a changing cryosphere.

Remote SensingUnderstanding the mechanisms of glacial surging is crucial, as surges can lead to severe hazards and significantly impact a glacier’s mass balance. We used various remote sensing data to investigate the surge of Garmo Glacier in the western Pamir.

Surge-type and surge-modified glaciers in the Karakoram [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractGlaciers in the Karakoram exhibit irregular behavior. Terminus fluctuations of individual glaciers lack consistency and, unlike other parts of the Himalaya, total ice mass remained stable or slightly increased since the 1970s. These seeming anomalies are addressed through a comprehensive mapping of surge-type glaciers and surge-related impacts,
