Land- to lake-terminating transition triggers dynamic thinning of a Bhutanese glacier [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 There have been rapid increases in both the number and expansion of the proglacial lakes across High Mountain Asia. However, the relationship between proglacial lakes and glacier dynamics remains unclear in the Himalayan region.

Climatic control on seasonal variations in mountain glacier surface velocity [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Abstract. Accurate measurements of ice flow are essential to predict future changes in glaciers and ice caps. Glacier displacement can in principle be measured on the large scale by cross-correlation of satellite images. At weekly to monthly scales, the expected displacement is often of the same order as the noise for the commonly used satellite images,

MAPPING SURFACE FLOW VELOCITIES OF SIACHEN AND GANGOTRI GLACIERS USING TERRASAR-X AND SENTINEL-1A DATA BY INTENSITY TRACKING [PDF]
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018 Glaciers are melting at an alarming rate due to global warming. Two major glaciers of India viz. Gangotri and the Siachen are chosen for the velocity mapping. The line-of-sight (LOS) velocity fields are derived using X-band TerraSAR-X and C-band Sentinel-

Deriving large-scale glacier velocities from a complete satellite archive : Application to the Pamir-Karakoram-Himalaya [PDF]
, 2015 International audienceMountain glaciers are pertinent indicators of climate change and their dynamics, in particular surface velocity change, is an essential climate variable. In order to retrieve the climatic signature from surface velocity, large-scale

Mechanical and hydrologic basis for the rapid motion of a large tidewater glacier: 1. Observations [PDF]
, 1994 Measurements of glacier flow velocity and basal water pressure at two sites on Columbia Glacier, Alaska, are combined with meteorological and hydrologic data to provide an observational basis for assessing the role of water storage and basal water ...

Glacier Velocity Monitoring by Maximum Likelihood Texture Tracking [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2009 The performance of a tracking algorithm considering remotely sensed data strongly depends on a correct statistical description of the data, i.e., its noise model. The objective of this paper is to introduce a new intensity tracking algorithm for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data, considering its multiplicative speckle/noise model.
