A data set of worldwide glacier length fluctuations

Holocene glacier fluctuations

A global overview of glacier advances and retreats (grouped by regions and by millennia) for the Holocene is compiled from previous studies. The reconstructions of glacier fluctuations are based on 1) mapping and dating moraines defined by 14C, TCN, OSL, lichenometry and tree rings (discontinuous records/time series), and 2) sediments from proglacial lakes and speleothems (continuous records/ t...

Seasonal fluctuations in the advance of a tidewater glacier and potential causes: Hubbard Glacier, Alaska, USA

Satellite imagery has been used to acquire seasonal terminus positions of tidewater Hubbard Glacier, Alaska, USA, from 1992 to 2006. During this 15 year time period, the width-averaged advance of the entire terminus has been 620m at a mean rate of 35ma. Seasonal fluctuation of the terminus ranges from 150 to 200m on average and varies spatially. A section of the terminus, near a narrow gap wher...

A theoretical analysis of filament length fluctuations

Abstract. Control of the structure and dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton is essential for 5 cell motility and for maintaining the structural integrity of cells. Central to understanding 6 the control of these features is an understanding of the dynamics of actin filaments, first as 7 isolated filaments, then as integrated networks, and finally as networks containing higher8 order structures su...

Historical Glacier and Climate Fluctuations at Mount Hood, Oregon

Terminus fluctuations of five glaciers and the correspondence of these fluctuations to temperature and precipitation patterns were assessed at Oregon’s Mount Hood over the period 1901–2001. Historical photographs, descriptions, and climate data, combined with contemporary GPS measurements and GIS analysis, revealed that each glacier experienced overall retreat, ranging from 62 m at the Newton C...
