Characterizing the surge behaviour and associated ice-dammed lake evolution of the Kyagar Glacier in the Karakoram [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Glacier surges are prevalent in the Karakoram and occasionally threaten local residents by inundating land and initiating mass movement events. The Kyagar Glacier is well known for its surge history, and in particular its frequent blocking of the ...

Three different glacier surges at a spot: what satellites observe and what not [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 In the Karakoram, dozens of glacier surges occurred in the past 2 decades, making the region a global hotspot. Detailed analyses of dense time series from optical and radar satellite images revealed a wide range of surge behaviour in this region: from ...

Remote Sensing, 2022 Glacier surges have been increasingly reported from the mountain and high-latitude cryosphere. They represent active glaciological processes that affect the evolution of natural landscapes, and they possibly lead to catastrophic consequences, such as ice

Submarine evidence of glacier surges [PDF]
, 1986 Surges constitute a common form of glacier advance on the Svalbard archipelago (Liestd 1969), northwestern Barents Sea. The Austfonna ice cap (8100 km2) covers most of Nordaustlandet, the second largest island in the archipelago (Fig. 1).

Rock waste dumps on the Davydov Glacier (Akshyirak Range, Tien Shan)
Лëд и снег, 2015 Since 1995, a barren rock has been formed at the Davydov Glacier, due to the works at the Kumtor Gold Mine. By the end of 2010, total amount of the rock, stockpiled on the glacier, apparently exceeded 200 million tons, the height of dumps of rock ...

Spatial, temporal and kinematic characteristics of surges of Variegated Glacier, Alaska
, 1997 Analysis of five surges of Variegated Glacier, Alaska, indicates that they all terminated with their surge fronts in the terminal lobe of the glacier, and that different surges penetrated into the terminal lobe by different amounts.

Exploiting high-slip flow regimes to improve inference of glacier bed topography
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Theory and observation show that glacier-flow regimes characterized by high basal slip enhance the projection of topographic detail to the surface, motivating this investigation into the efficacy of using glacier surges to improve bed estimation. Here we

A model study of Abrahamsenbreen, a surging glacier in northern Spitsbergen [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 The climate sensitivity of Abrahamsenbreen, a 20 km long surge-type glacier in northern Spitsbergen, is studied with a simple glacier model. A scheme to describe the surges is included, which makes it possible to account for the effect of surges on the ...

Automatic detection of glacier surges from ICESat-2 altimetry in Svalbard
Journal of GlaciologyGlacier surges are dynamic instabilities that dramatically alter glacier flow and geometry. Their triggers remain poorly understood, and improved methods of monitoring to further constrain the phenomenon are therefore important. We present a novel method

, 1969 Three types of instability leading to glacier surges have been suggested, namely stress instabilities, temperature instabilities, and water-film instabilities.
