Arthropod colonisation of a debris-covered glacier

The Holocene, 2010
The largest debris-covered glacier in the Alps (Miage Glacier, western Italian Alps) has been studied to explore the effects of debris-cover extent and depth on the spatial distribution of ground-dwelling arthropods. A multitaxa approach has been used to compare taxa richness and distribution to the functional role (dietary habits) of each taxon along ...

Meteorology and surface energy fluxes in the 2005–2007 ablation seasons at the Miage debris‐covered glacier, Mont Blanc Massif, Italian Alps

Journal of Geophysical Research, 2010
During the 2005–2007 June–September ablation seasons, meteorological conditions were recorded on the lower and upper parts of the debris‐covered ablation zone of Miage Glacier, Italy. In 2005, debris temperature and subdebris ice melt were also monitored

Glaciological and meteorological investigations of an Alpine debris-covered glacier: the case study of Amola Glacier (Italy) [PDF]

Cold Regions Science and Technology, 2023
Debris-covered glaciers are common in many regions of the world, and accurately modelling their melt is of increasing importance for water resources planning, and biological and ecological research.

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 ...

Flow velocities of the debris-covered Miyar Glacier, western Himalaya, India

Geografiska Annaler, Series A: Physical Geography, 2022
Spatiotemporal surface velocity measurements of the alpine valley type debris-covered Miyar Glacier of the Chandrabhaga (Chenab) basin, western Himalaya, were assessed based on the cross-correlation of Landsat images spanning nearly three decades (1992 ...

Modeling of the Mass Balance of Glaciers with Debris Cover

2021
Mountain glaciers are an important contributor to river runoff and sea-level change, and are an excellent proxy for climate change. Glaciers account for about 0.5% of the terrestrial land surface, and most of these glaciers are largely shrinking and thinning due to ongoing climate change.

Debris-Covered Glaciers

2018
Debris-covered glaciers are characterised by a mantle of rock material, the supraglacial debris, spread over part of the ablation zone. The debris material origins from the catchment above and the bedrock below the glacier and appears at the glacier surface in the ablation zone.

Assessing glacier features supporting supraglacial trees: A case study of the Miage debris-covered Glacier (Italian Alps)

Holocene, 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

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 ...

The role of glacier structures in the degradation of debris-covered glaciers.

2023
Glaciers in High Mountain Asia (HMA) are in a state of rapid decline, attributed to climatic changes at an intra-regional scale. Mass loss from glaciers in the region occurs in the form of the thinning and recession of glacier tongues, formation and coalescence of supraglacial ponds, and a growth in the size and number of glacial lakes, leading to a ...
