Rapid advance of two mountain glaciers in response to mine-related debris loading (2015)
Journal Article
Jamieson, S., Ewertowski, M., & Evans, D. (2015). Rapid advance of two mountain glaciers in response to mine-related debris loading. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 120(7), 1418-1435. https://doi.org/10.1002/2015jf003504

Rapid glacier advance is known to occur by a range of mechanisms. However, although large-scale debris loading has been proposed as a process for causing rapid terminus advance, it has rarely been observed. We use satellite remote-sensing data to obs...

Quantification of the ice-cored moraines' short-term dynamics in the high-Arctic glaciers Ebbabreen and Ragnarbreen, Petuniabukta, Svalbard (2015)
Journal Article
Ewertowski, M., & Tomczyk, A. (2015). Quantification of the ice-cored moraines' short-term dynamics in the high-Arctic glaciers Ebbabreen and Ragnarbreen, Petuniabukta, Svalbard. Geomorphology, 234, 211-227. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2015.01.023

Extensive ice-cored moraine complexes are common elements, marking the last advance of many Svalbard glaciers. Sediment gravity flows are among the most dynamic processes, transforming these landforms. The short-term (yearly and weekly) dynamics of m...

Recent transformations in the high-Arctic glacier landsystem, Ragnarbreen, Svalbard (2014)
Journal Article
Ewertowski, M. (2014). Recent transformations in the high-Arctic glacier landsystem, Ragnarbreen, Svalbard. Geografiska Annaler: Series A, Physical Geography, 96(3), 265-285. https://doi.org/10.1111/geoa.12049

Ragnarbreen is a small glacier located in the central part of Spitsbergen Island (Svalbard archipelago) and fed by the larger ice mass of Mittag-Lefflerbreen. Glacier recession and landforms' development in the foreland of Ragnarbreen are quantified... Read More about Recent transformations in the high-Arctic glacier landsystem, Ragnarbreen, Svalbard.

Quantifying short-term surface changes on recreational trails: The use of topographic surveys and ‘digital elevation models of differences’ (DODs) (2013)
Journal Article
Tomczyk, A., & Ewertowski, M. (2013). Quantifying short-term surface changes on recreational trails: The use of topographic surveys and ‘digital elevation models of differences’ (DODs). Geomorphology, 183, 58-72. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2012.08.005

This study applied a new method for detailed surveys of short-term dynamics in the surface of recreational trails. The main objectives of this study were: (1) to analyze the spatial aspect of surface changes in microscale; (2) to quantify precisely t...
