Testing hypotheses of the cause of peripheral thinning of the Greenland Ice Sheet: is land-terminating ice thinning at anomalously high rates? [PDF]

, 2008
Recent observations have shown that the periphery of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) is thinning rapidly and that this thinning is greatest around marine-terminating outlet glaciers. Several theories have been proposed which provide a link between climate

Remote-sensing characterization of surging glaciers in High Mountain Asia in the past two decades

Frontiers in Earth Science
Glacier surge represents a special glacier behavior with abnormally high flow speeds, which can trigger catastrophic events, such as high-speed ice avalanches and glacial lake outburst floods, transforming landforms in the mountain cryosphere and ...

A note on the water budget of temperate glaciers [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2013
In this note, the total dissipative melting in temperate glaciers is studied. The analysis is based on the notion that the dissipation is determined by the loss of potential energy due to the downward motion of mass (ice, snow, meltwater and rain).

Dynamic difference between surging and normal glaciers in the context of climate change: Insights from multi-source remote sensing

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: Yunfeng Peak region, High Mountain Asia Study focus: High Mountain Asia is the most glacier-rich region outside the polar areas and plays a critical role in alleviating water resource pressures across Asia. Understanding the complexities of

Sustained retreat of the Pine Island Glacier [PDF]

, 2013
We use satellite observations to show that, between 1992 and 2011, the Pine Island Glacier hinge line retreated at a rate of 0.95 ± 0.09 km yr−1 despite a progressive steepening and shoaling of the glacier surface and bedrock slopes, respectively, which ...

Crevasses triggered on Pine Island Glacier by drilling through an exceptional melt layer [PDF]

, 2010
The basic theory of crevasse formation suggests that crevasses initiate at or near the surface. However, due to variations in stress with depth, it has been suggested that it is possible for crevasses to initiate at depths of 10–30m.

Present dynamics and future prognosis of a slowly surging glacier [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2011
Glacier surges are a well-known example of an internal dynamic oscillation whose occurrence is not a direct response to the external climate forcing, but whose character (i.e.
