Diffuse optics for glaciology [PDF]
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 ...

XX century: Brief historical outline of Soviet/Russian glaciology
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]
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

Mass balance of glacier No. 139 in the basin of Lake Karakul in the Eastern Pamirs
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
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
