The Randolph Glacier Inventory: a globally complete inventory of glaciers

W. T. Pfeffer, A. A. Arendt, Andrew Bliss et al. · 1 Jan 2014

Abstract The Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) is a globally complete collection of digital outlines of glaciers, excluding the ice sheets, developed to meet the needs of the Fifth Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for estimates of past and future mass balance. The RGI was created with limited resources in a short period.…

Water Pressure in Intra- and Subglacial Channels

Hans Röthlisberger · 1 Jan 1972

Abstract Water flowing in tubular channels inside a glacier produces frictional heat, which causes melting of the ice walls. However the channels also have a tendency to close under the overburden pressure. Using the equilibrium equation that at every cross-section as much ice is melted as flows in, differential equations are given for steady flow…

The link between climate warming and break-up of ice shelves in the Antarctic Peninsula

T. A. Scambos, Christina Hulbe, M. A. Fahnestock et al. · 1 Jan 2000

Abstract A review of in situ and remote-sensing data covering the ice shelves of the Antarctic Peninsula provides a series of characteristics closely associated with rapid shelf retreat: deeply embayed ice fronts; calving of myriad small elongate bergs in punctuated events; increasing flow speed; and the presence of melt ponds on the ice-shelf surface in…

Historically unprecedented global glacier decline in the early 21st century

Michael Zemp, Holger Frey, Isabelle Gärtner‐Roer et al. · 1 Jan 2015

Abstract Observations show that glaciers around the world are in retreat and losing mass. Internationally coordinated for over a century, glacier monitoring activities provide an unprecedented dataset of glacier observations from ground, air and space. Glacier studies generally select specific parts of these datasets to obtain optimal assessments of the mass-balance data relating to the…

Movement of Water in Glaciers

Ronald L. Shreve · 1 Jan 1972

Abstract A network of passages situated along three-grain intersections enables water to percolate through temperate glacier ice. The deformability of the ice allows the passages to expand and contract in response to changes in pressure, and melting of the passage walls by heat generated by viscous dissipation and carried by above-freezing water causes the larger…
