Journal of Glaciology, 2016 Thinning rates for the debris-covered Gangotri Glacier and its tributary glaciers during the period 1968–2014, length variation and area vacated at the snout from 1965 to 2015, and seasonal variation of ice-surface velocity for the last two decades have ...

Variability of air temperature over a debris-covered glacier in the Nepalese Himalaya
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 Estimates of melt from debris-covered glaciers require distributed estimates of meteorological variables and air temperature in particular. Meteorological data are scarce for this environment, and spatial variability of temperature over debris is poorly ...

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

The formation of glacier dirt cones
Journal of GlaciologyGlacier dirt cones are meter-scale cones of ice covered with sediment and rock. The cones develop through a process known as differential melt, whereby ice underlying thick debris melts more slowly than bare ice.

The formation of valley-wall rock glaciers
, 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 ...

Backwasting rate on debris-covered Koxkar glacier, Tuomuer mountain, China
, 2010 A physically based energy-balance model with improved parameterization of solar radiation for a sloped ice surface has been developed to estimate the backwasting rate of an ice cliff in a debris-covered area.

Glacio-limnological interactions at lake-calving glaciers
, 2012 Iceberg calving is an efficient ablation process which introduces mechanical instability to glacier systems and can cause non-linear climatic response.
Haresign, Eleanor C.
core
, 2016 The number of debris-covered glaciers featuring supraglacial trees is increasing worldwide, as a response of high mountain environments to climate warming. Generally, their distribution on the glacier surface is not homogeneous, thus suggesting that some

Modelling debris-covered glacier melt
Meltwater from glaciers contributes to hydro-electricity and agricultural production in some places, and model predictions of glacier melt can inform water management decisions. However, predictions are inherently uncertain.
