Satellite-observed surging dynamics of North Kunchhang Glacier I in the Eastern Karakoram [PDF]
The CryosphereFrequent glacier surges are a distinctive characteristic of Karakoram glaciers, with their occurrence increasing recently, significantly impacting glacier morphology and dynamics.

Brief communication: The Khurdopin glacier surge revisited – extreme flow velocities and formation of a dammed lake in 2017 [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 Glacier surges occur regularly in the Karakoram, but the driving mechanisms, their frequency and its relation to a changing climate remain unclear. In this study, we use digital elevation models and Landsat imagery in combination with high-resolution ...

Cyclic Surging of Glaciers [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1973 AbstractA partly phenomenological theory and model are constructed of cyclically surging glaciers. During the after-surge portion of a surge cycle the lower portion of a glacier becomes increasingly stagnant. The upper part of the glacier gradually becomes more active as both its thickness and the magnitude of its basal shear stress increase.

Recent Surge Behavior of Walsh Glacier Revealed by Remote Sensing Data
Sensors, 2020 Many surge-type glaciers are present on the St. Elias Mountains, but a detailed study on the surge behavior of the glaciers is still missing. In this study, we used remote sensing data to reveal detailed glacier surge behavior, focusing on the recent ...

A surge of the glaciers Skobreen–Paulabreen, Svalbard, observed by time-lapse photographs and remote sensing data [PDF]
Polar Research, 2012 We present observations of a surge of the glaciers Skobreen–Paulabreen, Svalbard, during 2003–05, including a time-lapse movie of the frontal advance during 2005, Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission (ASTER) imagery and oblique aerial ...

Characteristics of Glaciers Surging in the Western Pamirs
Remote Sensing, 2023 The regional surge patterns and control mechanisms for glaciers in the western Pamirs are unclear. Using remote sensing, more surge-type glaciers have been discovered in the western Pamirs. This provides an opportunity to obtain the integral characteristics of glacier surging.

Remote Sensing, 2020 Several glaciers in the Bukatage Massif are surge-type. However, previous studies in this region focused on glacier area and length changes, and more information is needed to support the deep analysis of glacier surge.

A Mathematical Analysis of Glacier Surges [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 1989 This paper describes the phenomena of glacier surges and presents a mathematical model based on realistic descriptions of glacier physics, which purports to describe the main features of the flow. The analysis reveals and predicts a variety of phenomena, many of which have been observed to occur, and gives explicit estimates for such quantities as ...

Subglacial drainage processes at a High Arctic polythermal valley glacier [PDF]
, 2005 Dye-tracer experiments undertaken over two summer melt seasons at polythermal John Evans Glacier, Ellesmere Island, Canada, were designed to investigate the character of the subglacial drainage system and its evolution over a melt season. In both summers,
