Medvezhiy Glacier surge in 2011
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 ...

Imaging Floods and Glacier Geohazards with Remote Sensing [PDF]
Remote sensing plays a pivotal role in understanding where and how floods and glacier geohazards occur; their severity, causes and types; and the risk that they may pose to populations, activities and properties.

Surge-type Uisu glacier and its undisturbed forefield relief, Eastern Pamir, Tajikistan
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 ...

Intra-annual and intra-seasonal flow dynamics of a High Arctic polythermal valley glacier [PDF]
Measurements of surface dynamics on polythermal John Evans Glacier, Nunavut, Canada, over two winter periods and every 7-10 days throughout two melt seasons (June-July 2000, 2001) provide new insight into spatio-temporal patterns of High Arctic glacier ...

Surge dynamics and lake outbursts of Kyagar Glacier, Karakoram [PDF]
The recent surge cycle of Kyagar Glacier, in the Chinese Karakoram, caused formation of an ice-dammed lake and subsequent glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) exceeding 40 million m3 in 2015 and 2016. GLOFs from Kyagar Glacier reached double this size in

Influence of subglacial drainage system evolution on glacier surface motion: Haut Glacier d'Arolla, Switzerland [PDF]
The relationship between the evolution of subglacial drainage system morphology and spatial patterns of glacier surface velocity was investigated using dye tracing experiments and ground surveying throughout the 1995 melt season at Haut Glacier d'Arolla,

Different characteristics of two surges in Weigeledangxiong Glacier, northeastern Tibetan Plateau
Glacier surge is a special form of glacier displacement caused by the instability of the glacial dynamic system. It is a quasi-periodic oscillation behavior, which affects the estimation of the overall change of glaciers in the region and potentially ...

Hydraulic impacts of glacier advance over a sediment bed [PDF]
A sedimentary sequence of till overlying a gravel aquifer was instrumented with water-pressure transducers prior to a small, anticipated surge of the margin of the glacier Breiðamerkurjökull in Iceland.

Brief communication: Storstrømmen Glacier, northeastern Greenland, primed for end-of-decade surge [PDF]
Storstrømmen 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 ...
