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.

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 ...

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

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.

Mass balance of glacier No. 139 in the basin of Lake Karakul in the Eastern Pamirs
Central Asian Journal of Water Research, 2022 Mountain glaciers, including the poorly examined glaciers of Lake Karakul Basin, are considered the most vulnerable part of the cryosphere directly reacting to the changing climatic conditions.

The Queen of the Arctic: Louise Arner Boyd
Polar Research, 2023 Louise Boyd (1887–1972) was a female pioneer in Arctic research whose legacy includes the exploration of north-east Greenland. In this Perspective piece, we use a broad interdisciplinary approach to investigate her career as a photographer and expedition

Journal of Glaciology, 2021 Kolumban Hutter ’ s new text ‘ Fundamental glaciology ’ departs from established norms in glacier science; sets a new standard for glacier mechanics; and deftly collects flow and fracture under one roof.

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021 We develop a generalized interpolation material point method (GIMPM) for the shallow shelf approximation (SSA) of ice flow. The GIMPM, which can be viewed as a particle version of the finite element method, is used here to solve the shallow shelf ...
