Field-based research directions for investigating the interior of high-elevation debris-covered glaciers [PDF]

Annals of Glaciology, 2022
The debris that covers the ablation areas of high-elevation debris-covered glaciers contributes to the distinctive features and processes occurring both on and within such glaciers.

Southwest-facing slopes control the formation of debris-covered glaciers in the Bhutan Himalaya [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2013
To understand the formation conditions of debris-covered glaciers, we examined the dimension and shape of debris-covered areas and potential debris-supply (PDS) slopes of 213 glaciers in the Bhutan Himalaya.

Supraglacial Ice Cliffs Can Substantially Increase the Mass Loss of Debris-Covered Glaciers

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
The thinning patterns of debris‐covered glaciers in High Mountain Asia are not well understood. Here we calculate the effect of supraglacial ice cliffs on the mass balance of all glaciers in a Himalayan catchment, using a process‐based ice cliff melt ...

Warming Has Accelerated the Melting of Glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau, but the Debris-Covered Glaciers Are Rapidly Expanding

Remote Sensing, 2022
Glacier changes on the Tibetan Plateau are of great importance for regional climate and hydrology and even global ecological changes. It is urgent to understand the effect of climate warming on both clean and debris-covered glaciers on the Tibetan ...

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 ...

The Challenge of Non-Stationary Feedbacks in Modeling the Response of Debris-Covered Glaciers to Climate Forcing

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 ...

Meteorological impacts of a novel debris‐covered glacier category in a regional climate model across a Himalayan catchment

Atmospheric Science Letters, 2021
Many of the glaciers in the Nepalese Himalaya are partially covered in a layer of loose rock known as debris cover. In the Dudh Koshi River Basin, Nepal, approximately 25% of glaciers are debris‐covered.

Delineation Evaluation and Variation of Debris-Covered Glaciers Based on the Multi-Source Remote Sensing Images, Take Glaciers in the Eastern Tomur Peak Region for Example

Remote Sensing, 2023
As a particular type of alpine glacier, debris-covered glaciers are essential for local water resources and glacial disaster warnings. The Eastern Tomur Peak Region (EPTR) is the most concentrated glacier in Tien Shan Mountain, China, where the glaciers ...

Updated inventory of glacier ice in New Zealand based on 2016 satellite imagery

Journal of Glaciology, 2021
The only complete inventory of New Zealand glaciers was based on aerial photography starting in 1978. While there have been partial updates using 2002 and 2009 satellite data, most glaciers are still represented by the 1978 outlines in contemporary ...
