Subglacial basins: Their origin and importance in glacial systems and landscapes

SJ Cook, DA Swift - Earth-Science Reviews, 2012 - Elsevier
Closed topographic basins are found beneath contemporary ice masses and within the
footprint of former ice masses in all glaciated regions. We present the first integrated review …

How accurate are estimates of glacier ice thickness? Results from ITMIX, the Ice Thickness Models Intercomparison eXperiment

D Farinotti, DJ Brinkerhoff, GKC Clarke, JJ Fürst… - The …, 2017 - tc.copernicus.org
Knowledge of the ice thickness distribution of glaciers and ice caps is an important

A general theory of glacier surges

DI Benn, AC Fowler, I Hewitt, H Sevestre - Journal of Glaciology, 2019 - cambridge.org
We present the first general theory of glacier surging that includes both temperate and
polythermal glacier surges, based on coupled mass and enthalpy budgets. Enthalpy (in the …

Channelized, distributed, and disconnected: subglacial drainage under a valley glacier in the Yukon

C Rada, C Schoof - The Cryosphere, 2018 - tc.copernicus.org
The subglacial drainage system is one of the main controls on basal sliding, but remains
only partially understood. Here we use an 8-year dataset of borehole observations on a …

Early 21st century glacier thickness changes in the Central Tien Shan

J Li, Z Li, J Zhu, X Li, B Xu, Q Wang, C Huang… - Remote Sensing of …, 2017 - Elsevier
Although studies based on satellite gravimetry (2003− 2010) and laser altimetry (2003–
2009) measurements have achieved region-wide glacier mass change for the Tien Shan …

Dilation of subglacial sediment governs incipient surge motion in glaciers with deformable beds

BM Minchew, CR Meyer - Proceedings of the Royal …, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Glacier surges are quasi-periodic episodes of rapid ice flow that arise from increases in slip
rate at the ice–bed interface. The mechanisms that trigger and sustain surges are not well …

Investigating changes in basal conditions of Variegated Glacier prior to and during its 1982–1983 surge

M Jay-Allemand, F Gillet-Chaulet, O Gagliardini… - The …, 2011 - tc.copernicus.org
Variegated Glacier (Alaska) is known to surge periodically after a sufficient amount of
cumulative mass balance is reached, but this observation is difficult to link with changes in …

Propagating speedups during quiescence escalate to the 2020–2021 surge of Sít'Kusá, southeast Alaska

J Liu, EM Enderlin, TC Bartholomaus, Y Terleth… - Journal of …, 2024 - cambridge.org
We use satellite image processing techniques to measure surface elevation and velocity
changes on a temperate surging glacier, Sít'Kusá, throughout its entire 2013–2021 surge …

Topographic controls on the surging behaviour of Sabche Glacier, Nepal (1967 to 2017)

AM Lovell, JR Carr, CR Stokes - Remote Sensing of Environment, 2018 - Elsevier
Using a combination of Landsat, Pléiades and CORONA satellite imagery from 1967 to
2017, we map changes in the terminus position, ice surface velocity and surface elevation of …
