The slip of glaciers over the underlying bed is the dominant mechanism governing the migration of ice from land into the oceans, with accelerating slip contributing to sea-level …
Slow‐moving landslides are hydrologically driven. Yet, landslide sensitivity to precipitation, and in particular, precipitation extremes, is difficult to constrain because landslides occur …
Although many convincing, diverse, and sometimes competing models of glacier surging have been proposed, the observed behavior of surging glaciers does not fit into distinct …
Below hard‐bedded glaciers, both basal friction and distributed subglacial drainage are thought to be controlled by a network of cavities. Previous coupled hydro‐mechanical …
Rock glaciers are a prominent component of many alpine landscapes and constitute a significant water resource in some arid mountain environments. Here, we employ satellite …

It is commonly asserted that there are two distinct classes of glacier surges: slow, long- duration 'Svalbard-type'surges, triggered by a transition from cold-to warm-based conditions …
The dynamics of glacial sliding over water-saturated tills are poorly constrained and difficult to capture realistically in large-scale models. Experiments characterize till as a plastic …
Surge‐type glaciers are present in many cold environments in the world. These glaciers experience a dramatic increase in velocity over short time periods, the surge, followed by an …
Glacier slip is usually described using steady-state sliding laws that relate drag, slip velocity and effective pressure, but where subglacial conditions vary rapidly transient effects may …
