Seasonal speedup of glacier in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau Open
Most glaciers around the world are slowing down, but some marine-terminating outlet glaciers occur and trigger seasonal or shorter-term accelerations (up to 100% greater than the annual mean), and the speedup events of glaciers cause accel…
