A note on hysteresis in glaciology
Applied Mathematics Letters, 2000 Recent studies on the mechanism governing the Laurentide ice sheet oscillations of the Last Ice Age focus on the most critical effect of the basal hydraulic processes enhanced when the ice is sliding along soft deformable beds. To understand the import of this, we consider {A. C. Fowler} and \textit{C. Johnson}'s 0-D hydrological flow model [J. Glaciol.

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

Retreat of Humboldt Gletscher, North Greenland, Driven by Undercutting From a Warmer Ocean
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Humboldt Gletscher is a 100‐km wide, slow‐moving glacier in north Greenland which holds a 19‐cm global sea level equivalent. Humboldt has been the fourth largest contributor to sea level rise since 1972 but the cause of its mass loss has not been ...

Evolving ice fraction in the shallow firn layer of Devon Ice Cap, Canada, between 2012 and 2022
Journal of GlaciologyFirn can store glacial meltwater and delay contribution to sea level rise, but ice layers and ice slabs within the shallow firn layer can impede the downward percolation of melt. Here we report firn conditions along a transect on southwest Devon Ice Cap (

The K-transect in west Greenland: Automatic weather station data (1993–2016)
Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2018 We present twenty-three years (1993–2016) of automatic weather station (AWS) data, collected along the K-transect near Kangerlussuaq in west Greenland. The transect runs from east to west, roughly perpendicular to the ice sheet edge at about 67° N. The K-
