An efficient melting probe for glacial research

Annals of Glaciology, 2021
In this paper, we present an electric-thermal drill with a novel design of a melting head that was developed within the EnEx-RANGE project. The design combines a short melting head with a large surface area of parabolic shape.

Seismic Precursors to the Blatten, Switzerland Landslide Revealed by Unsupervised Machine Learning

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract The transition from stable to unstable states in geological systems, such as landslides and fault zones, remains poorly understood. Seismic precursors and foreshocks related to the transition, if present, are often difficult to observe, and their interpretation remains challenging.

For whom and by whom is glaciology?

Journal of Glaciology
Glacier and ice sheet research is frequently justified on the basis of potential benefits to those communities that are most vulnerable to glacier change.

Search and recovery of aircraft parts in ice-sheet crevasse fields using airborne and in situ geophysical sensors

Journal of Glaciology, 2020
On 30 September 2017, an Air France Airbus A380-800 suffered a failure of its fourth engine while over Greenland. This failure resulted in the loss of the engine fan hub, fan blades and surrounding structure.

A First Look at the Snow/Ice Penetration Effect of SWOT Observations on Water Level of Global Glacial Lakes

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission promises quasi‐global monitoring of glacial lakes, yet the elevation difference arising from its Ka‐band radar penetrating lake snow/ice cover remains unquantified. This poses a challenge to assessing their level changes.

Landsystems of the tropical high Peruvian Andes: Glaciers, lakes, wetlands and water resources in the Cordillera Vilcanota

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
We outline the geomorphological relationships between glaciers, lakes and bofedal wetlands, and the way in which moraines, talus slopes and sandar interact with catchment hydrology in the tropical Andes of Peru. Bofedales are well developed within glacial limits, with glacial processes such as erosion and formation of moraines providing the poorly ...

Instruments and methods: Submersible remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) for investigations of the glacier-ocean-sediment interface

, 1996
Submersible remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are valuable research tools for data collection in dangerous or inaccessible environments associated with glaciers terminating in the sea.

Signal characteristics of surface seismic explosive sources near the West Antarctic Ice Sheet divide

Journal of Glaciology
Seismic imaging in 3-D holds great potential for improving our understanding of ice sheet structure and dynamics. Conducting 3-D imaging in remote areas is simplified by using lightweight and logistically straightforward sources.

Modelling the Black Carbon Variability and Dynamics in Almaty, Kazakhstan, During Winter and Summer Seasons

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
The study investigates the seasonal transport of black carbon (BC) from Almaty, Kazakhstan, to adjacent mountain areas. The radiative effects associated with BC are evaluated at the surface, within the atmosphere, and at the top of the atmosphere. ABSTRACT Large cities with poor air quality can affect surrounding areas through pollutant transport and ...

Automatic measurement of glacier ice ablation using thermistor strings

Journal of Glaciology, 2019
In this work we tested the suitability of thermistor strings as automatic tools for the continuous measurement of glacier ice ablation. Experimental data collected in summer 2017 over an Italian glacier provided ice ablation readings with accuracy ...
