Classification of Debris-Covered Glaciers and Rock Glaciers in the Andes of Central Chile [PDF]

open access: yesGeomorphology, 2015
In the Dry Andes of Chile (17 to 35° S), debris-covered glaciers and rock glaciers are differentiated from true glaciers based on the percentage of surface debris cover, thickness of surface debris, and ice content. Internal ice is preserved by an insulating cover of thick debris, which acts as a storage reservoir to release water during the summer and

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 ...

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 ...

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.
