Milne Glacier, Northern Ellesmere Island, N.W.T., Canada: a Surging Glacier?

, 1984
During the period 1966 to 1983 Milne Glacier advanced 4.25 km at a mean annual rate of 250 m a−1. Since surges commonly occur over a two or three year period the maximum rate of advance could have been greater than 2 km a−1.

Surge Mechanisms of Garmo Glacier: Integrating Multi-Source Data for Insights into Acceleration and Hydrological Control

Remote Sensing
Understanding the mechanisms of glacial surging is crucial, as surges can lead to severe hazards and significantly impact a glacier’s mass balance. We used various remote sensing data to investigate the surge of Garmo Glacier in the western Pamir.

The 1982/83 surge and antecedent quiescent phase of Variegated Glacier: revising the original dataset for application in flow line models

Journal of Glaciology, 2017
The extensive dataset of Variegated Glacier's 1982/83 surge and antecedent quiescent phase is fragmentary and predominantly of flow line nature. Applying the raw centre line data in a flow line model to conduct research into the mechanism behind ...

New Schmidt hammer exposure‐age dating calibrations for the Last Glacial Termination in NW Scotland: Development and application to undated Torridon Group sandstone surfaces in Wester Ross

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An understanding of the terrestrial extent, retreat dynamics and climate–glacier coupling of ice masses during the Last Glacial Termination (LGT, ~18–11 ka) is often limited by a fragmentary geomorphological record and is dependent on precise, accurate and robust dating frameworks.

Propagation of glacier surges

, 1969
Propagation of glacier surges has been discussed in terms of stresses acting in the three major zones of the surge. The steeply sloping front of a surge appears sufficient to explain the thickening of a glacier and the rise in velocity of ice motion ...

Review of the Salpausselkä ice‐marginal formations in Finland

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extensive Salpausselkä ice‐marginal formations were deposited in southern and eastern Finland during the Weichselian deglaciation. These comprise three major ridges (I, II, and III Salpausselkäs) and their eastern counterparts (Tuupovaara, Koitere, and Pielisjärvi), together forming laterally continuous ice‐marginal formations extending ...

Patterns and mechanisms of repeat drainages of glacier-dammed Dań Zhùr (Donjek) Lake, Yukon

Arctic Science
Dań Zhùr (Donjek) Glacier is a surge-type glacier that undergoes cyclical periods of rapid advance over ∼1–2 years, followed by retreat for ∼10 years. Since the 1990s, the advances have caused the formation of ice-dammed Dań Zhùr Lake, which has filled ...

Digital fire technologies and community networks: Cultivating just sociotechnical practices for living with planetary change

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Fires are expanding in frequency and intensity worldwide due to climate change and land‐use transformations. At the same time, fire often plays a regenerative role in ecosystems. Traditional and cultural practices incorporate fire use for landscape management and landscape renewal. In this complex matrix of fire ecologies, digital technologies

Identification of initial vegetation and habitat changes in small temperate fens using remote sensing

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Temperate fens with only incipient, subtle signs of deterioration can be reliably identified using Sentinel‐2 and aerial imagery, which sensitively detect early productivity‐related structural changes. Abstract Small temperate fens rank among the most endangered habitats in temperate Europe.

A century of flow and surge history of Sít’ Tlein (Malaspina Glacier), Southeast Alaska

Journal of Glaciology
Sít’ Tlein (Malaspina Glacier), located in Southeast Alaska, has a complex flow history. This piedmont glacier, the largest in the world, is fed by three main tributaries that all exhibit similar flow patterns, yet with varying surge cycles. The piedmont
