Spatio-Temporal Distribution of Supra-Glacial Ponds and Ice Cliffs on Verde Glacier, Chile
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Known for their important role in locally enhancing surface melt, supraglacial ponds and ice cliffs are common features on debris-covered glaciers. We use high resolution satellite imagery to describe pond-cliff systems and surface velocity on Verde ...

Recovery of Petermann Glacier Velocity from SAR Imagery Using a Spatiotemporal Hybrid Neural Network
Applied SciencesNumerous studies have demonstrated the potential of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) in monitoring glacier velocity. However, owing to the complex dynamics of glaciers and the variability of their surface features, velocity fields derived from even short ...

Annual and Seasonal Variations in Glacier Velocity, and Surging Glaciers in the West Kunlun Mountain
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote SensingMonitoring glacier velocity is crucial for revealing glacier dynamics and clarifying the responses of glaciers to climate change. The West Kunlun mountain (WKM) is at the center of the Karakoram Anomaly; however, insufficient systematic studies have been conducted to determine glacier velocities in this region.

Variations in the surface velocity of an alpine cirque glacier [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2018 ABSTRACTFollowing pioneering work in Norway, cirque glaciers have widely been viewed as rigidly rotating bodies. This model is incorrect for basin-filling cirque glaciers, as we have demonstrated at West Washmawapta Glacier, a small glacier in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

Debris Emergence Elevations and Glacier Change
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Debris-covered glaciers represent potentially significant stores of freshwater in river basins throughout High Mountain Asia (HMA). Direct glacier mass balance measurements are extremely difficult to maintain on debris-covered glaciers, and optical ...

Sediment motion and velocity in a glacier-fed stream [PDF]
Geomorphology, 2017 Current understanding of coarse sediment transport (e.g. threshold for motion, travel length and virtual velocity) in mountain rivers is still quite limited, and even less is known about glacial streams. However, the hydrological characteristics of these systems (strong daily discharge fluctuations, high water turbidity) pose challenges to the use of ...

Across-Track and Multi-Aperture InSAR for 3-D Glacier Velocity Estimation of the Siachen Glacier
Remote Sensing, 2023 Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) remote sensing generally lacks deformation sensitivity in the along-track direction. In this proposed approach, across-track observations from conventional InSAR, using both ascending and descending passes, were superimposed with the along-track movement derived from multi-aperture InSAR (MAI) to ...

Glacier retreat, dynamics and bed overdeepenings of Parkachik Glacier, Ladakh Himalaya, India
Annals of Glaciology, 2023 This study describes the morphological and dynamic changes of Parkachik Glacier, Suru River valley, Ladakh Himalaya, India. We used medium-resolution satellite images; CORONA KH-4, Landsat and Sentinel-2A from 1971–2021, and field surveys between 2015 ...

Analyzing ice dynamics using Sentinel-1 data at the Solheimajoküll Glacier, Iceland
GIScience & Remote Sensing, 2020 The climate in southern Iceland has warmed over the last 70 years, resulting in accelerated glacier dynamics at the Solheimajoküll glacier. In this study, we compare glacier terminus locations from 1973 to 2018, to changes in climate across the study ...
