Multi-sensor remote sensing to map glacier debris cover in the Greater Caucasus, Georgia

Journal of Glaciology, 2021
Global warming is causing glaciers in the Caucasus Mountains and around the world to lose mass at an accelerated pace. As a result of this rapid retreat, significant parts of the glacierized surface area can be covered with debris deposits, often making ...

The formation of valley-wall rock glaciers [PDF]

, 2012
In recent years, the study of rock glaciers has increased remarkably. Substantive progress has been made, particularly in understanding the formation of rock glaciers that have developed adjacent to existing or former valley or cirque glaciers ...

Use of a hydrologic mixing model to examine the roles of meltwater, precipitation and groundwater in the Langtang River basin, Nepal

Annals of Glaciology, 2016
Understanding the hydrology of glacierized catchments is an important step in assessing the vulnerability of water resources to a changing climate. While there have been increased efforts recently to understand the dynamics of Asia's cryosphere, glacier ...

Scottish late-glacial moraines: debris supply, genesis and significance [PDF]

, 2012
A variety of moraine forms were deposited by glaciers during the Loch Lomond Stadial. Study of such moraines and related landforms provides a valuable source of data on patterns of landscape evolution and climatic change. This thesis presents detailed

Nematodes and rotifers on two Alpine debris-covered glaciers [PDF]

, 2015
Debris-covered glaciers (DCGs) are glaciers whose ablation area is mostly covered by a continuous layer of debris, and are considered to be among the continental glacierized environments richest in life.

Surface lowering of the debris-covered area of Kanchenjunga Glacier in the eastern Nepal Himalaya since 1975, as revealed by Hexagon KH-9 and ALOS satellite observations [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2017
This study presents the geodetic mass balance of Kanchenjunga Glacier, one of the largest debris-covered glaciers in the easternmost Nepal Himalaya, which possesses a negative mass balance of −0.18 ± 0.17 m w.e.

Evolution of debris cover over glaciers in the Central Andes (1985–2024)

Journal of Glaciology
Glaciers are critical freshwater reservoirs in the Central Andes. Although supraglacial debris covers over 40% of the glacierised area in the Atlantic basins, the long-term surface evolution of debris-covered glaciers remains poorly constrained.

Proposal for geomorphological mapping of debris-covered and rock glaciers and its application to Tröllaskagi Peninsula (Northern Iceland)

Journal of Maps, 2018
This work defends and applies a new proposal for mapping debris-covered glaciers and rock glaciers. This proposal combines highly accurate traditional methods, such as manual geomorphological photointerpretation, with novel digital techniques.

Assessing glacier retreat and landform production at the ‘debris-charged’ snout of Kvíárjökull, Iceland [PDF]

, 2010
Iceland is a critical location for the study of glacier fluctuations and landform production in response to climate change due to its diverse glacial legacy and its archive of aerial photographs that provide accurately dated records of glacier retreat ...
