Annals of GlaciologyAn IGS international symposium on ‘The edges of glaciology’ was held in the University of Limerick from 2 to 7 July 2023, and this article is the preface to the resulting issue of the Annals of Glaciology. The edges of glaciology are most obviously those parts of the study of ice and ice masses which involve boundaries: grain boundaries, ice cores, the

For whom and by whom is glaciology? [PDF]
Journal of GlaciologyAbstract Glacier and ice sheet research is frequently justified on the basis of potential benefits to those communities that are most vulnerable to glacier change. In this glaciology research, funding priorities and communication to the broader public are strongly affected by the experiences and values of glaciology researchers.

Diffuse optics for glaciology [PDF]
Optics Express, 2021 Optical probing of glaciers has the potential for tremendous impact on environmental science. However, glacier ice is turbid, which prohibits the use of most established optical measurements for determining a glacier’s interior structure. Here, we propose a method for determining the depth, scattering and absorption length based upon diffuse ...

Vertical glaciology: The second discovery of the third dimension in climate research [PDF]
Centaurus, 2020 The history of climate research in the 20th century has been characterised by a crucial shift from a geography-oriented, two-dimensional approach towards a physics-based, three-dimensional concept of climate.

Former dynamic behaviour of a cold-based valley glacier on Svalbard revealed by basal ice and structural glaciology investigations [PDF]
, 2015 Large numbers of small valley glaciers on Svalbard were thicker and more extensive during the Little Ice Age (LIA), demonstrated by prominent ice-cored moraines up to several kilometres beyond present-day margins.

XX century: Brief historical outline of Soviet/Russian glaciology
Лëд и снег, 2019 The article describes the formation and development of Soviet glaciology during the second half of the XX century and the role of the Glaciological Department of the Institute of Geography of the USSR Academy of Sciences in this process.

On the finite element approximation of a semicoercive Stokes variational inequality arising in glaciology [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, 2021 Stokes variational inequalities arise in the formulation of glaciological problems involving contact. We consider the problem of a two-dimensional marine ice sheet with a grounding line, although the analysis presented here is extendable to other contact
