Ice velocity and thickness of the world’s glaciers

open access: yesNature Geoscience, 2022
The effect of climate change on water resources and sea-level rise is largely determined by the size of the ice reservoirs around the world and the ice thickness distribution, which remains uncertain. Here, we present a comprehensive high-resolution mapping of ice motion for 98% of the world's total glacier area during the period 2017-2018. We use this

Outlet glacier flow response to surface melt: based on analysis of a high-resolution satellite data set

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2023
The dynamics of the Greenland Ice Sheet are affected by surface meltwater reaching the base of the ice, altering ice contact with the bedrock. Lack of understanding of this evolution hampers the ability to predict the effects of increasing temperatures ...

Bayesian Inference of Ice Softness and Basal Sliding Parameters at Langjökull

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
We develop Bayesian statistical models that are designed for the inference of ice softness and basal sliding parameters, important glaciological quantities.

Radioglaciological studies on Hurd Peninsula glaciers, Livingston Island, Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We present the results of several radio-echo sounding surveys carried out on Johnsons and Hurd Glaciers, Livingston Island, Antarctica, between the 1999/2000 and 2004/05 austral summer campaigns, which included both radar profiling and common-midpoint ...

Simulation Study of the Transport Characteristics of the Ice Core in Ice Drilling with Air Reverse Circulation

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Ice core drilling with air reverse circulation is a promising technology that uses high-speed airflow to transport the ice core from the bottom of the hole along the central passage of the drill pipe to the surface.

Impact of boundary conditions on the modeled thermal regime of the Antarctic ice sheet [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere
A realistic initialization of ice flow models is critical for predicting future changes in ice sheet mass balance and their associated contribution to sea level rise. The initial thermal state of an ice sheet is particularly important, as it controls ice

A comparison of balance velocities, measured velocities and thermomechanically modelled velocities for the Greenland ice sheet [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 2000
AbstractBalance velocities for the Greenland ice sheet have been calculated from a new digital-elevation model, accumulation-rates compilation and an existing ice-thickness grid, using a two-dimensional finite-difference scheme. The pattern of velocities over the ice sheet is presented and compared with velocities derived from synthetic-aperture-radar ...

InSAR observations of ice elevation and velocity fluctuations at the Flade Isblink ice cap, eastern North Greenland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The 8500 km(2) Flade Isblink ice cap (FIIC) (81 degrees 15'N, 15 degrees 0'W) is the largest ice cap in Greenland. We use repeat-pass interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) techniques to investigate the form and flow of the FIIC.
