Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 This study aims to quantify the contribution of anthropogenic forcings on the retreat of the Argentière Glacier (European Alps). The glacier evolution is simulated over 1850–2014 following retrospective scenarios produced with the IPSL‐CM6‐LR climate ...

Glacier-wide summer surface mass-balance calculation: hydrological balance applied to the Argentière and Mer de Glace drainage basins (Mont Blanc) [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2018 We present the glacier-wide summer surface mass balances determined by a detailed hydrological balance (sSMBhydro) and the quantification of the uncertainties of the calculations on the Argentière and Mer de Glace-Leschaux drainage basins, located in the

Geodetic point surface mass balances: a new approach to determine point surface mass balances on glaciers from remote sensing measurements [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Mass balance observations are very useful to assess climate change in different regions of the world. As opposed to glacier-wide mass balances which are influenced by the dynamic response of each glacier, point mass balances provide a direct climatic ...

Disaggregating geodetic glacier mass balance to annual scale using remote-sensing proxies
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Decadal-scale, high-resolution geodetic measurements of glacier thinning have transformed our understanding of glacier response to climate change. Annual glacier mass balance can be estimated using remote-sensing proxies like snow-line altitude.

Snow glacier melt estimation in tropical Andean glaciers using artificial neural networks [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Snow and glacier melt (SGM) estimation plays an important role in water resources management. Although melting process can be modelled by energy balance methods, such studies require detailed data, which is rarely available.

Distributed surface mass balance of an avalanche-fed glacier [PDF]
The CryosphereLocal snow redistribution processes such as avalanches can considerably impact the spatial variability of accumulation on glaciers. However, this spatial variability is difficult to quantify with traditional surface mass balance measurements or geodetic ...

1D-Var multilayer assimilation of X-band SAR data into a detailed snowpack model [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 The structure and physical properties of a snowpack and their temporal evolution may be simulated using meteorological data and a snow metamorphism model. Such an approach may meet limitations related to potential divergences and accumulated errors, to a

Saharan dust impacts on the surface mass balance of Argentière Glacier (French Alps) [PDF]
The CryosphereSaharan dust deposits frequently turn alpine glaciers orange and darken their surface. Together with other light-absorbing particles, mineral dust reduces snow albedo, increases snow melt rate, and lowers the surface mass balance of glaciers.
