Supraglacial debris strongly modifies melt rates on debris-covered glaciers, yet simulating this effect remains challenging because modelling the full surface energy balance (SEB) and the vertical conduction of heat through the debris layer requires many

Debris-covered glaciers are glaciers with the largest part of the ablation zone covered by a debris layer. Recent papers showed that debris-covered glaciers are able to support plant and arthropod life, advancing the hypothesis that such landforms could ...
