Satellite and UAV remote sensing of debris-covered glaciers [PDF]

, 2022
Mountain glaciers play a crucial role in the global provision of water resources. The majority of these glaciers are retreating rapidly in response to anthropogenic climate change, posing serious risks to downstream communities, many of which are located in some of the most socio-economically vulnerable regions on Earth.

Evolution of the debris-covered Miage Glacier

2021
<p>Glaciers in high-mountain regions typically exhibit a debris cover that moderates their response to climatic change. Here we present an integrated study that integrates long-term observations of debris-covered glacier mass balance, velocity, surface debris evolution and geomorphological changes (such as ponds and ice cliffs) of Miage ...

Hydrology of debris-covered glaciers in High Mountain Asia [PDF]

Earth-Science Reviews, 2020
The hydrological characteristics of debris-covered glaciers are known to be fundamentally different from those of clean-ice glaciers, even within the same climatological, geological, and geomorphological setting.

Slow dynamics in debris-covered and rock glaciers in Hofsdalur, Tröllaskagi Peninsula (northern Iceland)

Geomorphology, 2019
The results of previous work on the dynamics of the debris-covered and rock glaciers in Tröllaskagi are contradictory. To improve our knowledge of these dynamics and determine the origin and evolution of these landforms, we analyzed two case studies ...

Debris-covered Glaciers During Glacial and Interglacial Periods on the Taurus Mountains (Turkey)

Procedia, Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2014
The debris-covered glaciers are observed all over the glaciation regions of the world (Alps, Antarctica, Greenland, Andes, Cascades, Rocky Mountains and etc.). The debris covered glaciers are known as the formations which occur in the retreating phase of

Arthropod colonisation of a debris-covered glacier

The Holocene, 2010
The largest debris-covered glacier in the Alps (Miage Glacier, western Italian Alps) has been studied to explore the effects of debris-cover extent and depth on the spatial distribution of ground-dwelling arthropods. A multitaxa approach has been used to compare taxa richness and distribution to the functional role (dietary habits) of each taxon along ...

Modeling of the Mass Balance of Glaciers with Debris Cover

2021
Mountain glaciers are an important contributor to river runoff and sea-level change, and are an excellent proxy for climate change. Glaciers account for about 0.5% of the terrestrial land surface, and most of these glaciers are largely shrinking and thinning due to ongoing climate change.

Debris-Covered Glaciers

2018
Debris-covered glaciers are characterised by a mantle of rock material, the supraglacial debris, spread over part of the ablation zone. The debris material origins from the catchment above and the bedrock below the glacier and appears at the glacier surface in the ablation zone.

Glaciation of alpine valleys: The glacier – debris-covered glacier – rock glacier continuum

Geomorphology, 2018
Abstract Alpine ice varies from pure ice glaciers to partially debris-covered glaciers to rock glaciers, as defined by the degree of debris cover. In many low- to mid-latitude mountain ranges, the few bare ice glaciers that do exist in the present climate are small and are found where snow is focused by avalanches and where direct exposure to ...
