A debris-covered glacier at Kerguelen (49°S, 69°E) over the past 15 000 years
Antarctic Science, 2020 Debris-covered glaciers constitute a large part of the world's cryosphere. However, little is known about their long-term response to multi-millennial climate variability, in particular in the Southern Hemisphere. Here, we provide first insights into the

Morphometric evolution of Everest region debris-covered glaciers [PDF]
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 ...

Reduced melt on debris-covered glaciers: investigations from Changri Nup Glacier, Nepal [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 Abstract. Debris-covered glaciers occupy more than 1/4 of the total glacierized area in the Everest region of Nepal, yet the surface mass balance of these glaciers has not been measured directly. In this study, ground-based measurements of surface elevation and ice depth are combined with terrestrial photogrammetry and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV ...

Modelling runoff from a Himalayan debris-covered glacier [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014 Although the processes by which glacial debris mantles alter the melting of glacier ice have been well studied, the mass balance and runoff patterns of Himalayan debris-covered glaciers and the response of these factors to climate change are not well ...

Decadal evolution of a very small heavily debris-covered glacier in an Alpine permafrost environment
Journal of Glaciology, 2016 Glacier response to climate forcing can be heterogeneous and complex, depending on glacier system characteristics. This article presents the decadal evolution of the Tsarmine Glacier (Swiss Alps), a very small and heavily debris-covered cirque glacier ...

Debris cover and the thinning of Kennicott Glacier, Alaska: in situ measurements, automated ice cliff delineation and distributed melt estimates [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Many glaciers are thinning rapidly beneath melt-reducing debris cover, including Kennicott Glacier in Alaska where glacier-wide maximum thinning also occurs under debris.

Debris Emergence Elevations and Glacier Change
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Debris-covered glaciers represent potentially significant stores of freshwater in river basins throughout High Mountain Asia (HMA). Direct glacier mass balance measurements are extremely difficult to maintain on debris-covered glaciers, and optical ...

Surface composition of debris-covered glaciers across the Himalaya using linear spectral unmixing of Landsat 8 OLI imagery [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 The Himalaya mountain range is characterized by highly glacierized, complex, dynamic topography. The ablation area of Himalayan glaciers often features a highly heterogeneous debris mantle comprising ponds, steep and shallow slopes of various aspects ...
