Distinct patterns of seasonal Greenland glacier velocity. [PDF]

open access: yesGeophys Res Lett, 2014
AbstractPredicting Greenland Ice Sheet mass loss due to ice dynamics requires a complete understanding of spatiotemporal velocity fluctuations and related control mechanisms. We present a 5 year record of seasonal velocity measurements for 55 marine‐terminating glaciers distributed around the ice sheet margin, along with ice‐front position and runoff ...

The equilibrium flow and mass balance of the Taku Glacier, Alaska 1950–2006 [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2008
The Taku Glacier, Alaska has advanced 7.5 km since the late nineteenth century, while all other primary outlet glaciers of the Juneau Icefield are in retreat.

Temporal glacier velocity variations and their controlling factors in the Nathorstbreen glacier system, Svalbard

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Remote Sensing and Space Sciences
Temporal variations in glacier velocity are not only essential to understand glacier dynamics but also to predict glacier hazards. Therefore, in the current study, the continuous glacier velocities were estimated from 2014 to 2023 in the Nathorstbreen ...

Variability of Glacier Velocity and the Influencing Factors in the Muztag-Kongur Mountains, Eastern Pamir Plateau

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Glacier velocity is the key to understanding the nature of glaciers. Its variation plays an important role in glacier dynamics, mass balance, and climate change.

Estimation of glacier dynamics of the major glaciers of Bhutan using geospatial techniques

open access: yesJournal of Water and Climate Change, 2023
The purpose of this study was to determine the glacier displacement, velocity, and thickness of seven major glaciers of Bhutan and predicted potential glacier lake formation site with its depth.

Spatiotemporal Variability of Velocity and Influence of Glacier Thickness Using Landsat Imagery: Hunza River Basin, Karakoram Range

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
The Karakoram Anomaly has been intensively investigated, but the factors that control this anomaly, such as the glacier velocity, topography, and mass balance, remain poorly understood.

GLAcier Feature Tracking testkit (GLAFT): a statistically and physically based framework for evaluating glacier velocity products derived from optical satellite image feature tracking [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2023
Glacier velocity measurements are essential to understand ice flow mechanics, monitor natural hazards, and make accurate projections of future sea-level rise.

Flow velocities of Alaskan glaciers [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2013
Our poor understanding of tidewater glacier dynamics remains the primary source of uncertainty in sea level rise projections. On the ice sheets, mass lost from tidewater calving exceeds the amount lost from surface melting. In Alaska, the magnitude of calving mass loss remains unconstrained, yet immense calving losses have been observed.

The Spatio-Temporal Patterns of Glacier Activities in the Eastern Pamir Plateau Investigated by Time Series Sub-Pixel Offsets From Sentinel-2 Optical Images

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2023
The eastern Pamir Plateau, with a mean altitude of 5000 m, forms a large-scale glacier region with a size of 2054 km2 that serves as an important environmental climate condition for central Asia. In this article, we estimated the spatio-temporal patterns
