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 ...

A Hierarchical Spatio-Temporal Statistical Model Motivated by Glaciology [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Biological and Environmental Statistics, 2019 In this paper, we extend and analyze a Bayesian hierarchical spatio-temporal model for physical systems. A novelty is to model the discrepancy between the output of a computer simulator for a physical process and the actual process values with a ...

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.

Structural glaciology of Isunguata Sermia, West Greenland
Journal of Maps, 2018 We present a 1:42,000 scale map of Isunguata Sermia, a land-terminating outlet glacier draining the western-sector of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Structure-from-Motion software applied to ∼3,600 aerial images collected by a fixed-wing unmanned aerial ...
