Thinning and surface mass balance patterns of two neighbouring debris-covered glaciers in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Debris-covered glaciers are a common feature of the mountain cryosphere in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau. A better understanding of these glaciers is necessary to reduce the uncertainties in regional water resource variability and to anticipate ...

Comparison of turbulent structures and energy fluxes over exposed and debris-covered glacier ice
Journal of Glaciology, 2020 We present the first direct comparison of turbulence conditions measured simultaneously over exposed ice and a 0.08 m thick supraglacial debris cover on Suldenferner, a small glacier in the Italian Alps.

Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 133-151., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Role of Debris Cover in the Thermal Physics of Glaciers [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1986 AbstractA mathematical model is presented of non-stationary melting processes of ice including particles of morainic material. The problem is treated as a Stephen-type one with the phase boundary of ice melting being located under the debris cover. The main terms of the heat-balance equation for a glacier surface are solar radiation and convective heat

Remotely sensed debris thickness mapping of Bara Shigri Glacier, Indian Himalaya [PDF]
, 2015 Despite the important role of supraglacial debris in ablation, knowledge of debris thickness on Himalayan glaciers is sparse. A recently developed method based on reanalysis data and thermal band satellite imagery has proved to be potentially suitable ...

Sub-debris melt rates on southern Inylchek Glacier, central Tian Shan [PDF]
, 2008 Melt rates of glacier surfaces are strongly influenced by the existence of a debris cover. Dependent on thickness and other physical parameters the debris layer can enhance or reduce ablation as compared to bare ice conditions.

Remote Sensing, 2023 Deglaciation in high mountain areas signifies the transition from glacial to periglacial conditioned landscapes. Due to the reduced melt rate of debris-covered glacier ice, these areas of the glacier may persist long after the surrounding glacier has ...

Spatial patterns in glacier characteristics and area changes from 1962 to 2006 in the Kanchenjunga–Sikkim area, eastern Himalaya [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 This study investigates spatial patterns in glacier characteristics and area changes at decadal scales in the eastern Himalaya – Nepal (Arun and Tamor basins), India (Teesta basin in Sikkim) and parts of China and Bhutan – based on various satellite ...

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