Sentence examples for ice deformation from inspiring English sources

Ice deformation data from NASA's ICEsat, which indicates subglacial water movement, suggest that the lake has completely filled and drained twice since data-taking began in 2003.

The results presented here demonstrate that InSAR is an accurate tool for estimating landfast ice deformation and stability in support of ice use.

This model combines the Shallow Ice Approximation (SIA) for the ice deformation, the Shallow Shelf Approximation (SSA) for the basal sliding, and the mass conservation principle.

Similar assessment of 21 historical GLOF events in Bhutan (Komori et al. 2012) found plunging of glacier ice down into the lake (44%), glacier calving (33%), and ice deformation around a supraglacial lake (10%) are top three triggering mechanism.

A process model of transfer at glaciers with terminal overdeepenings is proposed, in which the geometry of the overdeepening influences spatial patterns of ice deformation, hydrology, and basal ice formation.

InSAR has previously proven successful in determining long-term qualitative climatology of ice deformation around on-ice operations, but is now used to explore its potential for providing quantitative guidance for ice road planning, construction, and maintenance.

With increasing spatial resolution, the velocity gradients (sea ice deformations) get more and more important.

The island, roughly triangular in shape and with an area (excluding associated islands) of 42,031 square miles (108,860 square km), is part of the Appalachian geologic province of North America, in which the landforms run from southwest to northeast and are characterized by continental drift, volcanic action, crustal deformation, ice erosion, and deposition.

Study shows that the primary effect of an ice-breaking trench is to develop local deformation of ice cover in bending and then induce its failure by creep buckling.

This paper explores the 'other cold war' through two case studies: US scientific efforts to understand and cope with polar whiteouts and the plastic deformation of ice.

It is established that the cell membrane is permeabilised during cooling and freezing due to such mechanisms as lipid phase transition, dehydration induced membrane deformation and ice crystal induced membrane deformation (Mazur, 1970; Quinn, 1985).
