Estimation of the Surface Velocity Field of Temperate Glaciers Using Airborne SAR Interferometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This paper presents a methodology to process airborne interferometric SAR data to measure surface velocity fields of temperate glaciers. First, a solution based on multi-squint is proposed to estimate residual motion errors (inaccuracies of the ...

Simulated global-mean sea level changes over the last half-millennium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Simulations of the last 500 yr carried out using the Third Hadley Centre Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere GCM (HadCM3) with anthropogenic and natural (solar and volcanic) forcings have been analyzed.

Self-affine structure of glacial surfaces in Lombardy

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Communications
The surface of a glacier represents the interface with the atmosphere where mass and energy fluxes exchanges occur due to the exposition to solar radiation, precipitation (solid and liquid) and wind currents.

Three-dimensional modelling of calving processes on Johnsons Glacier, Livingston Island, Antarctica. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Iceberg calving is an important mass loss mechanism from ice shelves and tidewater glaciers for many mid and high-latitude glaciers and ice caps, yet the process is not well represented in prognostic models of ice dynamics.

How Glaciers Function and How They Create Landforms: Testing the Effectiveness of Fieldwork on Students’ Mental Models—A Case Study from the Sanabria Lake (NW Spain)

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
This paper analyzes the impact of fieldwork on the development of students’ mental models concerning glaciers and their effects on the landscape. Data were collected by means of an open-ended questionnaire that was administered to 279 pre-service ...

Investigating Subglacial Water‐Filled Cavities by Spectral Analysis of Ambient Seismic Noise: Results on the Polythermal Tête‐Rousse Glacier (Mont Blanc, France)

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Polythermal glaciers can trap considerable volumes of liquid water with the potential to generate devastating outburst floods. This study aims to identify water‐filled subglacial reservoirs from ambient seismic noise collected by moderate‐cost surveys ...

Meteorology and surface energy fluxes in the 2005–2007 ablation seasons at the Miage debris-covered glacier, Mont Blanc Massif, Italian Alps [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
During the 2005–2007 June–September ablation seasons, meteorological conditions were recorded on the lower and upper parts of the debris‐covered ablation zone of Miage Glacier, Italy. In 2005, debris temperature and subdebris ice melt were also monitored

Downwasting and supraglacial lake evolution on the debris-covered Ngozumpa Glacier, Khumbu Himal, Nepal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In recent decades, the downwasting of several debris-covered glaciers in the Himalaya has led to the formation of large and potentially hazardous moraine- dammed lakes.
