Episodic Subglacial Drainage Cascades Below the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Subglacial hydrology can exert an important control on ice flow by affecting friction at the ice‐bedrock interface. Here, we report on a series of subglacial drainage events along the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS), initiating as far inland as ...

Closing Greenland's Mass Balance: Frontal Ablation of Every Greenlandic Glacier From 2000 to 2020

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
In Greenland, 87% of the glacierized area terminates in the ocean, but mass lost at the ice‐ocean interface, or frontal ablation, has not yet been fully quantified. Using measurements and models we calculate frontal ablation of Greenland's 213 outlet and

Modeling of ocean‐induced ice melt rates of five west Greenland glaciers over the past two decades

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2016
High‐resolution, three‐dimensional simulations from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology general circulation model ocean model are used to calculate the subaqueous melt rate of the calving faces of Umiamako, Rinks, Kangerdlugssup, Store, and ...

Annotated bibliography of the Russian languages literature on glaciology for 2015

open access: yesЛëд и снег, 2017
The proposed annual bibliography continues annotated lists of the Russian‑language literature on glaciology that were regularly published in the past. It includes 245 references grouped into the following ten sections: 1)  general issues of glaciology; 2)

Distributed acoustic sensing of microseismic sources and wave propagation in glaciated terrain

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
In this study, Walter and colleagues deploy a 1 km long fiber optics cable on a glacier surface. Via the use of distributed acoustic sensing, the authors are capable of monitoring glacier dynamics and Alpine mass movements.

Remote Detection of Surge-Related Glacier Terminus Change across High Mountain Asia

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
High Mountain Asia (HMA) hosts the largest glacier concentration outside of polar regions. It is also distinct glaciologically as it forms one of two major surge clusters globally, and many glaciers there contradict the globally observed glacier ...

Evaluating Greenland glacial isostatic adjustment corrections using GRACE, altimetry and surface mass balance data

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2014
Glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) represents a source of uncertainty for ice sheet mass balance estimates from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) time-variable gravity measurements.

A Generalized Interpolation Material Point Method for Shallow Ice Shelves. 2: Anisotropic Nonlocal Damage Mechanics and Rift Propagation

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021
Ice shelf fracture is responsible for roughly half of Antarctic ice mass loss in the form of calving and can weaken buttressing of upstream ice flow.

Exploring the submarine geomorphology of Te Rua-o-te-Moko Fiordland, Aotearoa New Zealand

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
Temperate fjords serve as key environments for understanding glacial landscape evolution, sedimentary processes, and dynamics. These overdeepened, glacially carved inlets serve as high-resolution repositories of past climate and ice behaviour.
