A Bayesian ice thickness estimation model for large-scale applications
Journal of Glaciology, 2020 Accurate estimations of ice thickness and volume are indispensable for ice flow modelling, hydrological forecasts and sea-level rise projections. We present a new ice thickness estimation model based on a mass-conserving forward model and a Bayesian ...

A review of volume‐area scaling of glaciers
Reviews of Geophysics, 2015 AbstractVolume‐area power law scaling, one of a set of analytical scaling techniques based on principals of dimensional analysis, has become an increasingly important and widely used method for estimating the future response of the world's glaciers and ice caps to environmental change.

INVESTIGATION OF MOUNTAIN GLACIER STORAGE AND ITS CHANGES DURING 2000–2016 IN THE WESTERN TIBETAN PLATEAU USING COMBINED GROUND AND SATELLITE OBSERVATIONS [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2019 The Upper Indus River Basin (UIB) has developed the largest midlatitude mountain glaciers worldwide. Ice thickness and volume distribution are important prerequisites for glaciological and hydrological investigations. In this paper, we presented detailed

Rapid demise and committed loss of Bowman Glacier, northern Ellesmere Island, Arctic Canada
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Using historical and recent aerial photography and structure from motion (SfM) multiview stereo (MVS) techniques, we reconstruct the 1959 and 2018 ice surface topography and determine the geodetic mass balance of Bowman Glacier, a small mountain glacier ...

Glacier volume‐area relation for high‐order mechanics and transient glacier states [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2012 Glacier volume is known for less than 0.1% of the world's glaciers, but this information is needed to quantify the impacts of glacier changes on global sea level and regional water resources. Observations indicate a power‐law relation between glacier area and volume, with an exponentγ≈ 1.36.

Advances in Climate Change Research, 2022 Recent decades have witnessed the accelerated retreat of alpine glaciers, which likely portends a decline in the glacial ice melt on which large downstream populations rely for freshwater. Thus, estimating water storage in alpine glaciers is critical for

Journal of Glaciology, 2021 We calibrate the calving parameterisation implemented in the Open Global Glacier Model via two methods (velocity constraint and surface mass balance (SMB) constraint) and assess the impact of accounting for frontal ablation on the ice volume estimate of ...

Probabilistic estimation of glacier volume and glacier bed topography: the Andean glacier Huayna West [PDF]
, 2013 Abstract. Glacier retreat will increase sea level and decrease fresh water availability. Glacier retreat will also induce morphologic and hydrologic changes due to the formation of glacial lakes. Hence, it is important not only to estimate glacier volume, but also to understand the spatial distribution of ice thickness. There are several approaches for

Journal of Glaciology, 2023 The Tian Shan mountain range, known as the water towers of Central Asia, plays a key role in local water supply, yet large uncertainties remain about the amount of water that is stored in its glaciers.

Remote Sensing, 2021 Lakes on the Tibetan Plateau have experienced variations over the last several decades, and the delineation of lake dynamics is favorable for the regional water cycle and can serve as important information for plateau environmental research.
