Assessing the applicability of terrestrial laser scanning for mapping englacial conduits.
Kamintzis, J.E.; Jones, J. P. P.; Irvine-Fynn, T. D. L.; Holt, T. O.; Bunting, P.; Jennings, S. J. A.; Porter, Philip; Hubbard, B. (2018-02-01)The morphology of englacial drainage networks and their temporal evolution are poorly characterised, particularly within cold ice masses. At present, direct observations of englacial channels are restricted in both spatial ... -
Examination of a physically based, high-resolution, distributed Arctic temperature-index melt model, on Midtre Lovénbreen, Svalbard
Irvine-Fynn, Tristram D. L.; Hanna, E.; Barrand, N.E.; Porter, Philip; Kohler, J.; Hodson, A.J. (2014-01-01)Improvements in our ability to model runoff from glaciers remain an important scientific goal. This paper describes a new temperature-radiation-index glacier melt model specifically enhanced for use in High-Arctic environments, ... -
Geomorphological consequences of glacier advance across a paraglacial rock avalanche deposit
Cook, Simon; Porter, Philip; Bendall, Charles A (2013-05)Glacial reworking of paraglacial rock slope sediment has been inferred from long-deglaciated terrains to contribute significantly to glacial sediment transfer. At Feegletscher, Switzerland, we provide the first description ... -
Supraglacial ponds regulate runoff from Himalayan debris-covered glaciers.
Irvine-fynn, Tristam D. L.; Porter, Philip; Rowan, Ann V.; Quincey, Duncan J.; Gibson, Morgan J.; Bridge, Jonathan W.; Watson, C. Scott; Hubbard, Alun; Glasser, Neil F. (2017-12-16)Meltwater and runoff from 1 glaciers in High Mountain Asia is a vital freshwater resource for one fifth of the Earth’s population. Between 13% and 36% of the region’s glacierized areas exhibit surface debris cover and ... -
The sustainability of water resources in the High Mountain Asia in the context of recent and future glacier change.
Rowan, Ann V.; Quincey, Duncan J.; Gibson, Morgan J.; Glasser, Neil F.; Westoby, Matthew J.; Irvine-Fynn, Tristam D. L.; Porter, Philip; Hambrey, Michael J. (2017-11-01)High Mountain Asia contains the largest volume of glacier ice outside the Polar regions, and contain the headwaters of some of the largest rivers in central Asia. These glaciers are losing mass at a mean rate of between ... -
Ten Top tips to liven up your lectures!
Porter, Philip; Fergus, Suzanne (2013-07)Like it or not, many of us will deliver the bulk of our teaching to large groups through the traditional lecture format. The advantages and disadvantages of this teaching format continue to be discussed and debated at ...
