Surging Seepage: A Triple Bond Accretion System
My current work revels in a state of flux. I strive for the work to be electrically charged, conveying a feverish sense of immediacy and vitality that implies motion and frenetic energy. The work is an accretion of brightly colored biomorphic forms that extend out from the wall and onto the floor. …

Glacier surging in the West Kunlun Shan
… This study aims to expand the current dataset of surging in the region by characterising a series of surges identified in a small range at the western end of the West Kunlun Shan. This site exists between the Karakoram and the site of the one previous surging study in the region (Yasuda and …

Remote Detection of Surging Glaciers Across High Mountain Asia
… and individual glacier – scale studies of surging, our understanding of this phenomenon remains largely ambiguous. This study sought to identify and quantify trends in the characteristics and distribution of glacier surging synoptically across HMA using remote sensing techniques. This was …

Changes in surging outlet glaciers of the Langjökull Ice Cap, Iceland
This study investigated the surging Hagafellsjökull outlets of the Langjökull ice cap, Iceland. It utilises digital elevation models from 1986, 1997, 2004 and 2007 in order to assess topographic change. These changes are linked to the surging outlets in terms of alteration of the subglacial …

Blink and You'll Miss It: An Investigation into Surging on Flade Isblink, Greenland
… to the hydrological budgets estimated for the surging glaciers. Results also indicate that this type of surge can self-terminate even without thinning of overlying ice, as slowdown will naturally reduce the frictional heat flux at the bed and thereby increase the release of latent heat of …

Investigation of Surge-Type Glaciers in Svalbard
… to identify characteristics which are related to surging. Field experiments were undertaken on Bjuvbreen, a small surge-type glacier in central Spitsbergen, to determine the dynamics and hydrology of the glacier during its quiescent phase. The probability that a glacier in the Svalbard sample …

Effect of turbine motion on floating off shore wind turbine aerodynamics
… that there is generally close agreement between surging inflow and surging actuator disk LES simulations, with a difference in time-averaged power production no larger than 1.8% for any of the investigated cases, confirming the hypothesized similarity between these two methods to simulate …

Assessing the style of advance and retreat of the Des Moines Lobe using LiDAR topographic data
… thought to be the result of the lobe surging out of balance with a warming climate. Various styles of hummocky topography, collectively sometimes called stagnation moraine, are interpreted to be the result of widespread stagnation and down-wasting of ice following surges. …

Bed shear stress under wave runup on steep slopes
… and bed shear stress were obtained for surging, collapsing, plunging and spilling swashes, in both medium and prototype scale fixed-bed laboratory wave flumes with steep slopes (1:3 and 1:6, respectively). The hydrodynamics of swash flows were found to adhere surprisingly well to …

The Effectiveness Of Data Codes And Hardware Selection To Mitigate Scintillation Effects On Free Space Optical Data Transmission
… meters above ground. The effects of a fading and surging beam wave were considered in regards to code techniques for error correction, amplitude modulation and hardware architecture schemes. This study simulated the use of arrays and large apertures for the receiving devices, and compared the …

Reconstructing the Surge History and Dynamics of Fisher Glacier, Yukon, 1948-2022
… of Fisher Glacier to better characterize surging in the southwest Yukon and assess the risk posed by this glacier’s surges on surrounding regions. Fisher Glacier has previously been identified as a surge-type glacier but, until now, it had not been the focus of any detailed studies. We …
