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.

Short-term variability in Greenland Ice Sheet motion forced by time-varying meltwater inputs: implications for the relationship between subglacial drainage system behavior and ice velocity. [PDF]
, 2012 High resolution measurements of ice motion along a 120 km transect in a land-terminating section of the GrIS reveal short-term velocity variations (<1 day), which are forced by rapid variations in meltwater input to the subglacial drainage system from

Improved records of glacier flow instabilities using customized NASA autoRIFT (CautoRIFT) applied to PlanetScope imagery [PDF]
The CryosphereEn masse application of feature tracking algorithms to satellite image pairs has produced records of glacier surface velocities with global coverage, revolutionizing the understanding of global glacier change.

International Journal of Digital Earth, 2023 The anomalous movements of glaciers cause disasters, such as debris flows and landslides. It is very important to assess the glacier movements and their future trends. Glacier velocity refers to movement process. The current research aims to analyse past

Hydraulic impacts of glacier advance over a sediment bed [PDF]
, 2006 A sedimentary sequence of till overlying a gravel aquifer was instrumented with water-pressure transducers prior to a small, anticipated surge of the margin of the glacier Breiðamerkurjökull in Iceland.

Ice-marginal lake hydrology and the seasonal dynamical evolution of Kennicott Glacier, Alaska
Journal of Glaciology, 2020 Glacier basal motion is responsible for the majority of ice flux on fast-flowing glaciers, enables rapid changes in glacier motion and provides the means by which glaciers shape alpine landscapes. In an effort to enhance our understanding of basal motion,

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.
