The state of rock debris covering Earth’s glaciers [PDF]
Nature Geoscience, 2020 Rock debris can accumulate on glacier surfaces and dramatically reduce glacier melt. The structure of a debris cover is unique to each glacier and sensitive to climate. Despite this, debris cover has been omitted from global glacier models and forecasts of their response to a changing climate. Fundamental to resolving these omissions is a global map of

Journal of the Geological Society, 2021 Glaciers respond sensitively to climate variability and change, with associated impacts on meltwater production, sea-level rise and geomorphological hazards.

Understanding Complex Debris-Covered Glaciers: Concepts, Issues, and Research Directions
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Understanding the climate-glacier dynamics of debris-covered glaciers is notoriously difficult given a multitude of controlling factors and feedback mechanisms involving climate forcing, debris-load properties, supraglacial water bodies, and multi-scale ...

Remote Sensing, 2022 The Mt.Tomur glaciers, in the Tian Shan mountains of Western China, are usually debris-covered, and due to climate change, glacial hazards are becoming more frequent in this region.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF COMBINED PIXEL AND OBJECT-BASED METHOD FOR DELINEATION OF DEBRIS-COVERED GLACIERS [PDF]
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018 Delineation of the glacier is an important task for understanding response of glaciers to climate. In Himalayan region, most of the glaciers are covered with debris.

Estimation of ice ablation on a debris-covered glacier from vertical debris-temperature profiles
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 A supraglacial debris layer controls energy transfer to the ice surface and moderates ice ablation on debris-covered glaciers. Measurements of vertical temperature profiles within the debris enables the estimation of thermal diffusivities and sub-debris ...

Internal structure of a Himalayan debris-covered glacier revealed by borehole optical televiewing
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 Characterising the structures within glaciers can give unique insight into ice motion processes. On debris-covered glaciers, traditional structural glaciological mapping is challenging because the lower glacier is hidden by the supraglacial debris layer.

The Concept of Steady State, Cyclicity and Debris Unloading of Debris-Covered Glaciers
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 It can easily be expected that debris-covered glaciers show a different response on external forcing compared to clean-surface glaciers. The supra-glacial debris cover acts as an additional transfer layer for the energy exchange between atmosphere and ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Modelling ablation of glacier ice under a layer of mineral debris is increasingly important, because the extent of supraglacial debris is expanding worldwide due to glacier recession.

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Ongoing changes in mountain glaciers affect local water resources, hazard potential and global sea level. An increasing proportion of remaining mountain glaciers are affected by the presence of a surface cover of rock debris, and the response of these ...
