Distinct patterns of seasonal Greenland glacier velocity. [PDF]
Geophys 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 ...

Egyptian Journal of Remote Sensing and Space SciencesTemporal 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 ...

Ice velocity and thickness of the world’s glaciers
Nature Geoscience, 2022 The effect of climate change on water resources and sea-level rise is largely determined by the size of the ice reservoirs around the world and the ice thickness distribution, which remains uncertain. Here, we present a comprehensive high-resolution mapping of ice motion for 98% of the world's total glacier area during the period 2017-2018. We use this
