Basal buoyancy and fast-moving glaciers: in defense of analytic force balance

The geometric approach to force balance advocated by T. Hughes in a series of publications has challenged the analytic approach by implying that the latter does not adequately account for basal buoyancy on ice streams, thereby neglecting the contribution to the gravitational driving force associated with this basal buoyancy. Application of the geometric approach to Byrd Glacier, Antarctica, yie...

Derivation of deformation characteristics in fast-moving glaciers

Crevasse patterns are the writings in a glacier’s history book – the movement, strain and deformation frozen in ice. Therefore by analysis of crevasse patterns we can learn about the ice-dynamic processes which the glacier has experienced. Direct measurement of ice movement and deformation is time-consuming and costly, in particular for large glaciers; typically, observations are lacking when s...

Slow and Fast Extramixing in Evolved Stars from Magnetic Buoyancy

We present the results of nucleosynthesis computations in mass transport phenomena affecting the final evolutionary stages of a low mass star. We assume that the process starts near the H-burning shell, and is driven by magnetic mechanisms, according to recent suggestions [1]. This is due to the fact that magnetized bubbles are subject to a fast buoyancy, accompanied by a downward flow induced ...

Mass balance of three Svalbard glaciers reconstructed back to 1948

A simple model using upper-air meteorological variables in the NCEP-NCAR Reanalysis database is used to model seasonal components of mass balance of three glaciers in Svalbard. The model was originally developed for glaciers in North America, and has been applied to glaciers in Norway, Sweden and Iceland. Over the period for which mass balance data are available for the three Svalbard glaciers,...
