Seasonal and interannual variabilities in terminus position, glacier velocity, and surface elevation at Helheim and Kangerlussuaq Glaciers from 2008 to 2016
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Geophysical Research"
DOI: 10.1002/2016jf004133
Abstract: The dynamic response of Greenland tidewater glaciers to oceanic and atmospheric change has varied both spatially and temporally. While some of this variability is likely related to regional climate signals, glacier geometry also appears to… read more here.

The evolution of brittle and ductile structures at the surface of a partly debris‐covered, rapidly thinning and slowly moving glacier in 1998–2012 (Pasterze Glacier, Austria)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Earth Surface Processes and Landforms"
DOI: 10.1002/esp.4552
Abstract: Many glaciers in alpine regions are currently rapidly receding and thinning at historically unobserved rates causing changes in the velocity field and in normal and shear stresses affecting the surface expression of structures within the… read more here.

Decoupled kinematics of two neighbouring permafrost creeping landforms in the Eastern Italian Alps

DOI: 10.1002/esp.4698
Abstract: An overall acceleration of rock glacier displacement rates in the Alps has been observed in recent decades, with several cases of destabilization leading to potential geomorphological hazards. This behaviour has been attributed to the rising… read more here.

The Andes Cordillera. Part III: glacier surface mass balance and contribution to sea level rise (1979–2014)

DOI: 10.1002/joc.4907
Abstract: Glacier surface mass balance (SMB) observations for the Andes Cordillera are limited and therefore estimates of the SMB contribution to sea-level rise are highly uncertain. Here (in Part 3), we simulate glacier surface meteorological and… read more here.
