[HTML][HTML] Holocene glacial history of Svalbard: Status, perspectives and challenges

WR Farnsworth, L Allaart, Ó Ingólfsson… - Earth-Science …, 2020 - Elsevier
We synthesize the current understanding of glacier activity on Svalbard from the end of the
Late Pleistocene (12,000 yrs. before present) to the end of the Little Ice Age (c. 1920 AD) …

Calving rates at tidewater glaciers vary strongly with ocean temperature

A Luckman, DI Benn, F Cottier, S Bevan… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Rates of ice mass loss at the calving margins of tidewater glaciers (frontal ablation rates) are
a key uncertainty in sea level rise projections. Measurements are difficult because mass lost …

Global time series and temporal mosaics of glacier surface velocities, derived from Sentinel-1 data

P Friedl, T Seehaus, M Braun - Earth System Science Data …, 2021 - essd.copernicus.org
Consistent and continuous data on glacier surface velocity are important inputs to time
series analyses, numerical ice dynamic modelling and glacier mass flux computations …

The variety and distribution of submarine glacial landforms and implications for ice-sheet reconstruction

JA Dowdeswell, M Canals, M Jakobsson, BJ Todd… - 2016 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Glacimarine processes affect about 20% of the global ocean today, and this area expanded
considerably under cyclical full-glacial conditions during the Quaternary (Fig. 1)(Dowdeswell …

Enthalpy balance theory unifies diverse glacier surge behaviour

DI Benn, IJ Hewitt, AJ Luckman - Annals of Glaciology, 2022 - cambridge.org
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 …

Over 400 previously undocumented Svalbard surge-type glaciers identified

WR Farnsworth, Ó Ingólfsson, M Retelle… - Geomorphology, 2016 - Elsevier
Identifying glaciers that exhibit surge-type behavior is important when using evidence of ice
front fluctuations as a proxy for reconstructing past climate oscillations. This study identifies …

Thermal structure of Svalbard glaciers and implications for thermal switch models of glacier surging

H Sevestre, DI Benn, NRJ Hulton… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Switches between cold‐and warm‐based conditions have long been invoked to explain
surges of High Arctic glaciers. Here we compile existing and new data on the thermal regime …

Calving controlled by melt-under-cutting: detailed calving styles revealed through time-lapse observations

P How, KM Schild, DI Benn, R Noormets… - Annals of …, 2019 - cambridge.org

FA Holmes, N Kirchner, J Kuttenkeuler, J Krützfeldt… - Scientific reports, 2019 - nature.com
Fjord-terminating glaciers in Svalbard lose mass through submarine melt and calving
(collectively: frontal ablation), and surface melt. With the recently observed Atlantification of …
