Increasing cryospheric hazards in a warming climate
The cryosphere is an important component of the global climate system. Cryospheric
components are sensitive to climate warming, and changes in the cryosphere can lead to …

Glacier crevasses: Observations, models, and mass balance implications
We review the findings of approximately 60 years of in situ and remote sensing studies of
glacier crevasses, as well as the three broad classes of numerical models now employed to …

Flash flood susceptibility assessment and zonation by integrating analytic hierarchy process and frequency ratio model with diverse spatial data
Flash floods are the most dangerous kinds of floods because they combine the destructive
power of a flood with incredible speed. They occur when heavy rainfall exceeds the ability of …

Seasonal changes in ice sheet motion due to melt water lubrication
IJ Hewitt - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2013 - Elsevier
A numerical model is used to calculate how the motion of an idealized ice-sheet margin is
affected by the subglacial drainage of melt water from its surface. The model describes the …

Winter motion mediates dynamic response of the Greenland Ice Sheet to warmer summers
We present ice velocities from a land‐terminating transect extending> 115 km into the
western Greenland Ice Sheet during three contrasting melt years (2009–2011) to determine …

Greenland subglacial drainage evolution regulated by weakly connected regions of the bed
Penetration of surface meltwater to the bed of the Greenland Ice Sheet each summer causes
an initial increase in ice speed due to elevated basal water pressure, followed by slowdown …
