Glacier surging in the West Kunlun Shan
… third-largest glacial system on Earth, with a glacierised area of ~40 800 km2 (Bolch et al., 2012) and a mass balance of -26 ± 12 Gt a-1: ~10% of the global contribution of the cryosphere to sea level rise (Vaughan et al., 2013). The glaciers of the Karakoram and West Kunlun Shan represent the …

Remote Detection of Surging Glaciers Across High Mountain Asia
High Mountain Asia (HMA) hosts the largest glacier concentration outside of polar regions. This region also represents the second major surge cluster, globally. Despite numerous sub-regional and individual glacier – scale studies of surging, our understanding of this phenomenon remains largely …

Reconstructing the Surge History and Dynamics of Fisher Glacier, Yukon, 1948-2022
Glacier surges are periods of dynamic instabilities which result in semi-regular alternating periods of slow flow, termed the quiescent phase, and fast flow, termed the active phase. This study uses remotely sensed imagery, digital elevation models, glacier velocity datasets, and in situ oblique …

Blink and You'll Miss It: An Investigation into Surging on Flade Isblink, Greenland
Mass loss from fringing ice caps and glaciers in Greenland accounted for 20% of the ice sheet’s mass loss between 2003 and 2008 and could be responsible for up to 11 mm of sea- level rise by the end of the century. This study therefore applies a 3D, full-Stokes glaciological flow model, Elmer/Ice, …

Formation and Drainage of Glacier Dammed Dań Zhùr (Donjek) Lake, Yukon
Dań Zhùr (Donjek) Glacier, located in the St. Elias Mountains, Yukon, is a surge-type glacier that undergoes cyclical periods of rapid advance over a period of ~1-2 years, followed by retreat for a period of ~10 years (Kochtitzky et al., 2019). Dań Zhùr Chù’ (Donjek River) runs perpendicular to the …
