Geomorphological evolution of a debris‐covered glacier surface [PDF]
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2020 AbstractThere exists a need to advance our understanding of debris‐covered glacier surfaces over relatively short timescales due to rapid, climatically induced areal expansion of debris cover at the global scale, and the impact debris has on mass balance.

Morphometric evolution of Everest region debris-covered glaciers
Geomorphology, 2020 Debris-covered glaciers in the central Himalaya have now experienced several decades of sustained ice loss, manifested predominantly in glacier surface lowering. In particular, glacier surfaces of low longitudinal gradient and low ice surface velocity have developed locally complex surface topographies and undergone profound changes in supraglacial ...

Evaluating deep-learning models for debris-covered glacier mapping
Applied Computing and Geosciences, 2021 In recent decades, mountain glaciers have experienced the impact of climate change in the form of accelerated glacier retreat and other glacier-related hazards such as mass wasting and glacier lake outburst floods. Since there are wide-ranging societal consequences of glacier retreat and hazards, monitoring these glaciers as accurately and repeatedly ...

Glaciation of alpine valleys: The glacier – debris-covered glacier – rock glacier continuum
Geomorphology, 2018 Abstract Alpine ice varies from pure ice glaciers to partially debris-covered glaciers to rock glaciers, as defined by the degree of debris cover. In many low- to mid-latitude mountain ranges, the few bare ice glaciers that do exist in the present climate are small and are found where snow is focused by avalanches and where direct exposure to ...

Debris-covered glacier energy balance model for Imja–Lhotse Shar Glacier in the Everest region of Nepal [PDF]
, 2015 . Debris thickness plays an important role in regulating ablation rates on debris-covered glaciers as well as controlling the likely size and location of supraglacial lakes. Despite its importance, lack of knowledge about debris properties and associated

Evolution of the debris-covered Miage Glacier
, 2021 <p>Glaciers in high-mountain regions typically exhibit a debris cover that moderates their response to climatic change. Here we present an integrated study that integrates long-term observations of debris-covered glacier mass balance, velocity, surface debris evolution and geomorphological changes (such as ponds and ice cliffs) of Miage ...

Incorporating moisture content in surface energy balance modeling of a debris-covered glacier
The Cryosphere, 2019 . Few surface energy balance models for debris-covered glaciers account for the presence of moisture in the debris, which invariably affects the debris layer's thermal properties and, in turn, the surface energy balance and sub-debris melt of a debris ...

Dynamic Changes of a Thick Debris-Covered Glacier in the Southeastern Tibetan Plateau
Remote Sensing, 2023 Debris-covered glaciers have contrasting melting mechanisms and climate response patterns if compared with debris-free glaciers and thus show a unique influence on the hydrological process.
