Glacier Research Group, VAW Glaciology Section, ETH Zurich - Glacier and permafrost research in the Swiss Alps, Greenland Ice Sheet (Jakobshavn ice stream), and in Spitsbergen.
Stockholm University Glaciology - Describes research activities, the Tarfala Research Station, and glaciers the group has studied; lists group members; and provides photos, data, and publications.
Centre for Glaciology, University of Wales, Aberystwyth - Research focus is on glaciology and glacial geology. Staff expertise and research areas include relation between glaciers and climate and interactions between glaciers and the marine environment.
Glaciology at the University of Copenhagen - Climate research through ice core drillings (including logistics and instrumental development), analysis of chemical and physical parameters and modelling. Other topics: Studies of ice rheology and studies of extraterrestrial ice.
Glaciology, Alfred Wegener Institute - Topics include introduction to glaciology; studies of ice sheet volume and glacier mass balance of glaciers by means of modelling, geophysical reconnaissance and field studies; and reconstruction of climate history from ice core analysis.
The Crevasse Zone - Glaciological data collected on the Juneau Icefield, Alaska. Focuses on GPS-derived surface velocity, surface elevations, and strain rates.

Wikipedia Articles

Glaciology - Glaciology is the study of glaciers, or more generally ice and natural phenomena that involve ice. The word glacier is derived from the Latin glaciees, meaning ice or frost.
International Glaciological Society - The International Glaciological Society (IGS) was founded in 1936 to provide a focus for individuals interested in practical and scientific aspects of snow and ice. IGS publishes the Journal of Glaciology, Annals of Glaciology and ICE, the news bulletin of the IGS.
Starvation (glaciology) - In glaciology, starvation is said to occur when a glacier retreats not because of temperature increases, but due to precipitation being so low that ice flow downwards into the zone of ablation exceeds the replenishment from snowfall. Eventually, the ice will move so far down that it either calves into ...
James David Forbes - James David Forbes (April 20, 1809 - December 31, 1868) was a Scottish physicist who worked extensively on the conduction of heat, seismology and glaciology. Forbes was a resident of Edinburgh for most of his life, educated at the University and a professor there from 1833 until he became principal of the United College of St.
Sigurdur Thorarinsson - Sigurdur Thorarinsson or Sigurður Þórarinsson (January 8, 1912–February 8, 1983) was an Icelandic geologist, volcanologist, glaciologist, professor and lyricist. He is considered a pioneer in the field of tephrochronology, and he made significant contributions in many areas of geology, especially volcanology and glaciology, both in Iceland and abroad.
