Seasonal and interannual variabilities in terminus position, glacier velocity, and surface elevation at Helheim and Kangerlussuaq Glaciers from 2008 to 2016

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.

DOI: 10.1002/2017gl074320
Abstract: Using radar satellite data from the Italian COSMO-SkyMed (CSK) constellation and the German TanDEM-X formation, we present comprehensive measurements of the bi-weekly grounding line dynamics of Pine Island Glacier, West Antarctica, from August to December… 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.

DOI: 10.1002/esp.5854
Abstract: Ice caps are important water resources for Iceland and are threatened by climate change. Despite their importance and vulnerability, the geodetic glacier mass balance estimate for the recent decade lacks a high‐resolution result. To address… read more here.

Is a glacier gone when it looks gone? Subsurface characteristics of high‐Arctic ice‐cored slopes as evidence of the latest maximum glacier extent
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Earth Surface Processes and Landforms"
DOI: 10.1002/esp.5894
Abstract: In the context of glacier retreat and increased precipitations, Arctic glacier basin slopes are subject to stress leading to visible transformations. In this work, subsurface features of a small Arctic glacier basin slopes are mapped… read more here.

Glacier thickness modelling and monitoring with geophysical data constraints: A case study on the Indren Glacier (NW Italy)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Earth Surface Processes and Landforms"
DOI: 10.1002/esp.6068
Abstract: The ongoing global temperature increase has accelerated the mass loss of glaciers worldwide, with Italian alpine glaciers being particularly vulnerable due to their small size, complex geometries and exposition that implies a fast reaction to… read more here.

Influence of permafrost degradation and glacier retreat on recent high mountain rockfall distribution in the eastern European Alps
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Earth Surface Processes and Landforms"
DOI: 10.1002/esp.70063
Abstract: High mountain environments are among the regions most affected by global warming, with glacier retreat and permafrost degradation leading to significant changes in slope stability. This study investigates the spatial distribution of rockfalls above the… read more here.

The Andes Cordillera. Part III: glacier surface mass balance and contribution to sea level rise (1979–2014)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "International Journal of Climatology"
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.
