Contrasting thinning patterns between lake- and land-terminating glaciers in the Bhutanese Himalaya
... In recent decades, glacial lakes have formed and expanded at the termini of retreating glaciers in the Himalaya (Ageta et al., 2000; Komori, 2008; Fujita et al., 2009; Hewitt and Liu, 2010; Sakai and Fujita, 2010; ...

Testing hypotheses of the cause of peripheral thinning of the Greenland Ice Sheet: is land-terminating ice thinning at anomalously high rates?
... Marine-terminating outlet glaciers may be inherently more sensitive to changes in basal water pressure than land- terminating outlet glaciers since their termini are often al- ready at or near the ...

Contrasting geometric and dynamic evolution of lake and land-terminating glaciers in the central Himalaya
... An additional process that may be contributing to glacier decel- eration is a reduction in accumulation and therefore a reduction in ice flux to lower elevations (e.g. Benn et al., 2012; Nuimura et al., 2011; Heid and K ...

Repeat optical satellite images reveal widespread and long term decrease in land-terminating glacier speeds
... The glaciers in the studied regions are mainly alpine and land-terminating, and they are influenced by different cli- matic conditions. Glaciers on the southern side of the Alaska Range experience a ...
