Diffuse optics for glaciology [PDF]

open access: yesOptics 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 ...

On the finite element approximation of a semicoercive Stokes variational inequality arising in glaciology [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM 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

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

open access: yesCentral 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

open access: yesPolar 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

Book review: K. Hutter, 2020. Fundamental Glaciology: modelling thermomechanical processes of ice in the geophysical environment, engineering and material science. International Glaciological Society

open access: yesJournal 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.
