Summer Mass Balance and Surface Velocity Derived by Unmanned Aerial Vehicle on Debris-Covered Region of Baishui River Glacier No. 1, Yulong Snow Mountain

Remote Sensing, 2020
Glacier retreat is a common phenomenon in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) with global warming during the past several decades, except for several mountains, such as the glaciers in the Karakoram and the western Kunlun Mountains.

Morphometric evolution of Everest region debris-covered glaciers

Geomorphology, 2020
Debris-covered glaciers in the central Himalaya have now experienced several decades of sustained ice loss, manifested predominantly in glacier surface lowering. In particular, glacier surfaces of low longitudinal gradient and low ice surface velocity have developed locally complex surface topographies and undergone profound changes in supraglacial ...

Surface facies analysis of the Gangotri and neighbouring glaciers, central Himalaya

Science of Remote Sensing
Glaciers are primarily monitored using medium-to-high resolution satellite data, undermining the potential of coarse-resolution data. In pursuance of this, high resolution 10 m super-resolved glacier maps derived from 56 m coarse-resolution AWiFS data ...

Debris-covered glaciers mapping based on machine learning and multi-source satellite images over Eastern Pamir

Big Earth Data
Debris-covered glaciers present significant challenges for accurately mapping and monitoring glacier dynamics, particularly in regions like the Eastern Pamir Plateau.

A low-cost and open-source approach for supraglacial debris thickness mapping using UAV-based infrared thermography [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Debris-covered glaciers exist in many mountain ranges and play an important role in the regional water cycle. However, modelling the surface mass balance, runoff contribution and future evolution of debris-covered glaciers is fraught with uncertainty as ...

Glacial and periglacial landforms and their recent dynamics in the Las Veguitas catchment, Cordillera Frontal of the Andes (Argentina)

Frontiers in Earth Science
The semi-arid Andes of South America are characterized by large areas with glacial and periglacial environments. This study focuses on the distribution and recent dynamics of glacial and periglacial landforms in the Las Veguitas catchment (3000–5500 m ...

Downwasting and supraglacial lake evolution on the debris-covered Ngozumpa Glacier, Khumbu Himal, Nepal

, 2015
In recent decades, the downwasting of several debris-covered glaciers in the Himalaya has led to the formation of large and potentially hazardous moraine- dammed lakes.
