Journal ArticleDOI
Ice mélange dynamics and implications for terminus stability, Jakobshavn Isbræ, Greenland
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used time-lapse imagery, seismic and audio recordings, iceberg and glacier velocities, ocean wave measurements, and simple theoretical considerations to investigate the interactions between Jakobshavn Isbrae and its proglacial ice melange.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continued evolution of Jakobshavn Isbrae following its rapid speedup
Ian Joughin,Ian M. Howat,Mark Fahnestock,Ben Smith,William B. Krabill,Richard B. Alley,Harry L. Stern,Martin Truffer,Martin Truffer +8 more
TL;DR: In the case of Jakobshavn Isbrae, the authors showed that the speedup rate of ∼5% a−1 over much of the fast-moving region appears to be a diffusive response to the initial much larger speedup near the front.
Journal ArticleDOI
A method to estimate the ice volume and ice-thickness distribution of alpine glaciers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method to estimate the ice-thickness distribution and the total ice volume of alpine glaciers based on glacier mass turnover and principles of ice-flow mechanics.
Submarine Melting of the 1985 Jakobshavn Isbrae Floating Tongue and the Triggering of the Current Retreat
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the thinning of the ice tongue is mostly due to submarine melting with average rates of 228 ± 49 m yr−1 (0.62 ± 0.13 m d−1) between the summers of 1984 and 1985.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ice-front variation and tidewater behavior on Helheim and Kangerdlugssuaq Glaciers, Greenland
Ian Joughin,Ian M. Howat,Richard B. Alley,Göran Ekström,Mark Fahnestock,Twila Moon,Meredith Nettles,Martin Truffer,Victor C. Tsai +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used satellite images to examine the calving behavior of Helheim and Kangerdlugssuaq glaciers, Greenland, from 2001 to 2006, a period in which they retreated and sped up.
