Mid-Term Monitoring of Glacier’s Variations with UAVs: The Example of the Belvedere Glacier

Remote Sensing, 2021
Recently, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have opened up unparalleled opportunities for alpine glacier monitoring, as they allow for reconstructing extensive and high-resolution 3D models.

Intra-annual and intra-seasonal flow dynamics of a High Arctic polythermal valley glacier [PDF]

, 2002
Measurements of surface dynamics on polythermal John Evans Glacier, Nunavut, Canada, over two winter periods and every 7-10 days throughout two melt seasons (June-July 2000, 2001) provide new insight into spatio-temporal patterns of High Arctic glacier ...

Recent glacier decline in the Kerguelen Islands (49°S, 69°E) derived from modeling, field observations, and satellite data [PDF]

, 2015
Date of Acceptance: 28/02/2015The retreat of glaciers in the Kerguelen Islands (49°S, 69°E) and their associated climatic causes have been analyzed using field data and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite images to validate a ...

New estimate of volume of glaciers worldwide [PDF]

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2012
As climate warms, melting mountain glaciers are likely to contribute significantly to sea level rise over the next decades, but how much they will contribute remains uncertain, as the total volume of Earth's mountain glaciers is not precisely known. Some studies have estimated the total volume of water stored in glaciers worldwide using statistical ...

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.

On the estimation of ice volume of alpine glaciers

Ice and Snow, 2015
Volume (V) − area (S) scaling approach (V = kSp, where V and S are obtained from direct measurements) is widely used for ice storage assessments in glacier-mountain systems. Accuracy of this approach was tested using surface area and volume dataset for 121 glaciers of different morphological type and sizes in Altay Mountains.

Volume, formation and sedimentation of future glacier lakes in Switzerland [PDF]

, 2022
Abstract. Ongoing climate change and associated glacier retreat is causing rapid environmental change, including shifts in high-alpine landscapes. Glacier lakes, which can form in topographical depressions left behind by glacier retreat, are prominent features within such landscapes.

A distributed energy-balance melt model of an alpine debris-covered glacier [PDF]

, 2014
Distributed energy-balance melt models have rarely been applied to glaciers with extensive supraglacial debris cover. This paper describes the development of a distributed melt model and its application to the debris-covered Miage glacier, western ...

Melting of the glacier base during a small-volume subglacial rhyolite eruption: evidence from Blahnukur, Iceland. [PDF]

, 2002
Although observations of recent volcanic eruptions beneath Vatnajokull, Iceland have improved the understanding of ice deformation and meltwater drainage, little is known about the processes that occur at the glacier base.

A comparison of glacier melt on debris-covered glaciers in the northern and southern Caucasus [PDF]

, 2011
The glacier coverage in the Caucasus Mountains underwent considerable changes during the last decades. In some regions, the observed reduction in glacier area is comparable to those in the European Alps and the extent of supra-glacial debris increased on
