Glacier volume response time and its links to climate and topography based on a conceptual model of glacier hypsometry [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2009 Glacier volume response time is a measure of the time taken for a glacier to adjust its geometry to a climate change. It has been previously proposed that the volume response time is given approximately by the ratio of glacier thickness to ablation at ...

Volume Changes of Elbrus Glaciers From 1997 to 2017 [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019 This study describes the analysis of changes in area and volume of the Mt.Elbrus glacier system, Central Caucasus from 1997 to 2017. It is based on helicopter-borne ice thickness measurements, comparison of high-resolution imagery and two digital ...

Estimation of glacier volume and volume change by scaling methods
, 2011 While difficult to measure directly, glacier volume can be more easily approximated by measuring surface area and applying a power-law scaling relationship.

Machine-learned global glacier ice volumes. [PDF]
Sci DataKnowledge of glacier ice volumes is crucial for constraining future sea level rise, evaluating freshwater resources, and assessing impacts on societies, from regional to global. Yet, significant uncertainties persist in both regional estimates of total glacier ice volume and in distributed ice thickness for individual glaciers.

Glacier thickness and ice volume of the Northern Andes [PDF]
Scientific Data, 2022 AbstractTropical glacier melt provides valuable water to surrounding communities, but climate change is projected to cause the demise of many of these glaciers within the coming century. Understanding the future of tropical glaciers requires a detailed record of their thicknesses and volumes, which is currently lacking in the Northern Andes.

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.

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

Sustained retreat of the Pine Island Glacier [PDF]
, 2013 We use satellite observations to show that, between 1992 and 2011, the Pine Island Glacier hinge line retreated at a rate of 0.95 ± 0.09 km yr−1 despite a progressive steepening and shoaling of the glacier surface and bedrock slopes, respectively, which ...
