History of Glaciology in Iceland

2016
Icelanders are shown to have had a greater knowledge and experience of glaciers than most nations, from the time of settlement through to the 18th century, and they were sometimes pioneers in glaciological studies. The first written accounts of glaciers can be traced back to the 12th century, and the connecting of ice masses with climate is dated to ...

GHub: Building a glaciology gateway to unify a community

Concurrency and Computation, 2020
There is no consensus on how quickly the earth's ice sheets are melting due to global warming, nor on the ramifications to sea level rise. Due to its potential effects on coastal populations and global economies, sea level rise is a grave concern, making

Pathways to Multitemporal Radar Sounding in Terrestrial Glaciology

IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2020
Radar sounding from airborne and ground-based platforms is one of the most powerful geophysical techniques in terrestrial glaciology. It can be used to probe a wide range of conditions from the near surface to the base of ice sheets and ice shelves ...

Solving the Vialov Equation of Glaciology in Terms of Elementary Functions

Mathematical Geosciences, 2017
Very few exact solutions are known for the non-linear Vialov ordinary differential equation describing the longitudinal profiles of alpine glaciers and ice caps under the assumption that the ice deforms according to Glen’s constitutive relationship ...

Glaciology

Progress in Physical Geography: Earth and Environment, 2012
This progress report is the first of three overviews of important fields of study within contemporary glaciology, illustrated with reference to exemplar research contributions and highlighting key developments in each field since 2005, the date of the last review of ‘Glaciology’ in this journal.

The glaciology of the coniston basin

Geological Journal, 1962
AbstractMuch of the lower hill‐country of the Lake District had a continuous ice‐cover during the Main Irish Sea glaciation, as probably also in the earlier glaciations, and there are many indications of ice‐action at considerable altitudes. The later phases of the Newer glaciation, however, made a great contribution to the present topography, in ...

Glaciology. Himalayan ice can fool climate studies.

Science, 2015
Many glaciers in the Himalayas are retreating, but some glaciers in the Karakoram Range, at the geographic intersection of India, Pakistan, China, and Afghanistan, appear to be on the march.
