Mapping of debris-covered glaciers in the Garhwal Himalayas using ASTER DEMs and thermal data [PDF]

, 2011
Mapping of debris-covered glaciers using remote-sensing techniques is recognized as one of the greatest challenges for generating glacier inventories and automated glacier change analysis.

Deriving seasonal and annual surface mass balance for debris-covered glaciers from flow-corrected satellite stereo DEM time series

Journal of Glaciology
Glaciers in High-Mountain Asia are experiencing varying rates and patterns of mass loss due to a complex interplay between glacier surface processes, local conditions and climate forcing.

The formation of valley-wall rock glaciers

, 2012
In recent years, the study of rock glaciers has increased remarkably. Substantive progress has been made, particularly in understanding the formation of rock glaciers that have developed adjacent to existing or former valley or cirque glaciers ...

Scottish late-glacial moraines: debris supply, genesis and significance

, 2012
A variety of moraine forms were deposited by glaciers during the Loch Lomond Stadial. Study of such moraines and related landforms provides a valuable source of data on patterns of landscape evolution and climatic change. This thesis presents detailed

Glacio-limnological interactions at lake-calving glaciers

, 2012
Iceberg calving is an efficient ablation process which introduces mechanical instability to glacier systems and can cause non-linear climatic response.

Alpine debris-covered glaciers as a habitat for plant life

, 2011
Debris-covered glaciers represent a significant, increasing fraction of glaciers and can host plant life on their surface. The goal of this work was to evaluate the suitability of supraglacial debris as a habitat for plant life and to discuss its ...

Automated delineation of debris-covered glaciers based on ASTER data

, 2007
Large areas of the glacier tongues at Mt. Everest are heavily covered by supraglacial debris. This hampers the automated mapping of the actual ice snout by means of spaceborne imagery due to the similar spectral signal of the surrounding debris. The most

Contrasting Changes of Debris-Free Glacier and Debris-Covered Glacier in Southeastern Tibetan Plateau

Remote Sensing
Debris-free and debris-covered glaciers are both extensively present in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau. High-precision and rigorous comparative observational studies on different types of glaciers help us to accurately understand the overall state of water resource variability and the underlying mechanisms.

Present extension of the debris-covered glaciers at the regional scale of the French Alps

, 2012
As part of the EU-funded project GlaRiskAlp (Alcotra France-Italy), we realize a French Alps glaciers inventory. For the present glacier extension, it is based on 2006-2009 orthophotographs (50 cm resolution), and lists the French Alps glaciers, maps ...
