Geomorphological evolution of a debris‐covered glacier surface [PDF]
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2020 There 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.

Remote SensingDebris-free and debris-covered glaciers are both extensively present in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau. High-precision and rigorous comparative observational studies on different types of glaciers help us to accurately understand the overall state of ...

Arthropod colonisation of a debris-covered glacier [PDF]
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 ...

Modeling debris-covered glaciers: response to steady debris deposition [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 Debris-covered glaciers are common in rapidly eroding alpine landscapes. When thicker than a few centimeters, surface debris suppresses melt rates. If continuous debris cover is present, ablation rates can be significantly reduced leading to increases in

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.

A comparison of glacier melt on debris-covered glaciers in the northern and southern Caucasus [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2011 Abstract. The glacier coverage in the Caucasus Mountains underwent considerable changes during the last decades. In some regions, the observed reduction in glacier area is comparable to those in the European Alps and the extent of supra-glacial debris increased on many glaciers.

Volume-area scaling for debris-covered glaciers [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2020 A volume-area scaling relation is commonly used to estimate glacier volume or its future changes on a global scale. The presence of an insulating supraglacial debris cover alters the mass-balance profile of a glacier, potentially modifying the scaling ...

Impact of debris cover on glacier ablation and atmosphere–glacier feedbacks in the Karakoram [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 The Karakoram range of the Hindu-Kush Himalaya is characterized by both extensive glaciation and a widespread prevalence of surficial debris cover on the glaciers.

GlacierNet: A Deep-Learning Approach for Debris-Covered Glacier Mapping [PDF]
IEEE Access, 2020 Rising global temperatures over the past decades is directly affecting glacier dynamics. To understand glacier fluctuations and document regional glacier-state trends, glacier-boundary detection is necessary. Debris-covered glacier (DCG) mapping, however,

Controls on Ice Cliff Distribution and Characteristics on Debris‐Covered Glaciers
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Ice cliff distribution plays a major role in determining the melt of debris‐covered glaciers but its controls are largely unknown. We assembled a data set of 37,537 ice cliffs and determined their characteristics across 86 debris‐covered glaciers within ...
