Brief communication: Thinning of debris-covered and debris-free glaciers in a warming climate [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 Recent geodetic mass-balance measurements reveal similar thinning rates on glaciers with or without debris cover in the Himalaya–Karakoram region. This comes as a surprise as a thick debris cover reduces the surface melting significantly due to its ...

Sediment supply from lateral moraines to a debris-covered glacier in the Himalaya
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2019 . Debris-covered glaciers in the Himalaya play an important role in the high-altitude water cycle. The thickness of the debris layer is a key control of the melt rate of those glaciers, yet little is known about the relative importance of the three ...

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

A talus rock glacier in Nantlle Valley, North Wales
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Landforms comprising mixtures of fine and coarse sediment and deposited during late glacial times are ubiquitous in the British mountains. In many cases, their interpretation has often proved contentious; as a result, the non‐generic term discrete debris accumulations (DDA) has been used to describe them and, over the last 50 years, some have ...

Glaciological results of the 2005 expedition to Inylchek Glacier, Central Tian Shan [PDF]
, 2008 Like many other glaciers in Central Asia, Southern Inylchek glacier in the Kyrgyz Tian Shan is covered by supraglacial moraine, which drastically influences melt rates and complicates the estimation of ablation. The quantification of sub-debris melt from

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT An understanding of the terrestrial extent, retreat dynamics and climate–glacier coupling of ice masses during the Last Glacial Termination (LGT, ~18–11 ka) is often limited by a fragmentary geomorphological record and is dependent on precise, accurate and robust dating frameworks.

Remote Sensing, 2020 Many debris-covered glaciers are broadly distributed across High Mountain Asia and have made a number of contributions to water circulation for Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP).

International Workshop Examines Debris‐covered Glaciers
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2001 Glaciers are important features in climate studies. The smaller alpine glaciers respond to climatic variation in ways visible during the human lifetime. Glacial processes modify the landscape leaving signatures of past climatic conditions. The large ice sheets have an important role in the global heat and water balance, which in turn play a major role ...

New constraints on the postglacial evolution of Lago Maggiore, Northern Italy
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lago Maggiore is situated in an overdeepened valley reach at the southern margin of the European Alps, and its thick sediment infill allows the reconstruction of the postglacial valley and lake evolution. We study here the sedimentary succession in the lower Ossola Valley, which is infilled by ~500 m of deposits. In a marginal position, a core
