Debris cover and surface melt at a temperate maritime alpine glacier: Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2012 Melt rates on glaciers are strongly influenced by the presence of supraglacial debris, which can either enhance or reduce ablation relative to bare ice.

Crevasses triggered on Pine Island Glacier by drilling through an exceptional melt layer [PDF]
, 2010 The basic theory of crevasse formation suggests that crevasses initiate at or near the surface. However, due to variations in stress with depth, it has been suggested that it is possible for crevasses to initiate at depths of 10–30m.

Seven-year variation in glacier surface velocity at Narsap Sermia in Southwest Greenland
GIScience & Remote Sensing, 2023 Glacier velocity is a critical factor closely related to ice dynamics of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS). We present variations of ice velocity using space-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) observations from July 2013 to September 2020.

Heterogeneity in topographic control on velocities of Western Himalayan glaciers [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractStudies of the seasonal and annual patterns of glacier velocities improve our understanding of the ice volume, topography, responses to climate change, and surge events of glaciers. Such studies are especially relevant and equally rare for the Himalayan glaciers, which supply many rivers that sustain some of the most heavily populated ...

Subglacial drainage processes at a High Arctic polythermal valley glacier [PDF]
, 2005 Dye-tracer experiments undertaken over two summer melt seasons at polythermal John Evans Glacier, Ellesmere Island, Canada, were designed to investigate the character of the subglacial drainage system and its evolution over a melt season. In both summers,

InSAR observations of ice elevation and velocity fluctuations at the Flade Isblink ice cap, eastern North Greenland [PDF]
, 2010 The 8500 km(2) Flade Isblink ice cap (FIIC) (81 degrees 15'N, 15 degrees 0'W) is the largest ice cap in Greenland. We use repeat-pass interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) techniques to investigate the form and flow of the FIIC.

Remote Sensing, 2022 Offset tracking technology is widely studied to evaluate glacier surface displacements. However, few studies have used a cross-platform to this end. In this study, two heterogeneous data sources, Sentinel-1 and Landsat 8, from January 2019 to January ...

The Sliding Velocity of Athabasca Glacier, Canada [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1970 AbstractA method of estimating siding velocity is presented. It rests on few assumptions, one of which is that longitudinal strain-rate varies linearly with depth. The flow law of ice is not used. To apply it, the sliding velocity at one point must be known.
