Debris cover and surface melt at a temperate maritime alpine glacier: Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2012 Melt rates on glaciers are strongly influenced by the presence of supraglacial debris, which can either enhance or reduce ablation relative to bare ice.

Remote-sensing characterization of surging glaciers in High Mountain Asia in the past two decades
Frontiers in Earth ScienceGlacier 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 ...

Radio Echo Soundings and Ice-Temperature Measurements in a Surge-Type Glacier
, 1975 Radio echo soundings on Rusty Glacier, a small surge-type glacier in Yukon Territory reveal that the ice is considerably thicker than previously believed. A reinterpretation of deep ice-temperature measurements made in 1969 and 1970 suggests that a large

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).

Surging glacier landsystem of Tungnaárjökull, Iceland [PDF]
Journal of Maps, 2009 Abstract Please click here to download the map associated with this article. A1:30,000 scale map of the snout and proglacial landscape of the surging Icelandic glacier Tungnaarjokull, based upon aerial photography from 1995, immediately after a surge, allows an assessment of the spatial variability in landform-sediment imprints of catastrophic glacier ...

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 ...

A general theory of glacier surges [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2019 AbstractWe present the first general theory of glacier surging that includes both temperate and polythermal glacier surges, based on coupled mass and enthalpy budgets. Enthalpy (in the form of thermal energy and water) is gained at the glacier bed from geothermal heating plus frictional heating (expenditure of potential energy) as a consequence of ice ...

Quiescent-phase evolution of a surge-type glacier: Black Rapids Glacier, Alaska, U.S.A.
, 1996 Black Rapids Glacier, a surge-type glacier in the Alaska Range, most recently surged in 1936–37 and is currently in its quiescent phase. Mass balance, ice velocity and thickness change have been measured at three to ten sites from 1972 to 1994.
