Active debris removal mission from LEO with electric and hybrid propulsion [PDF]
, 2011 Debris proliferation in space environment is an impending problem for preserving future missions. Although prevention measures (IADC guidelines, NASA Handbook for Limiting Orbit Debris) with the intent to regulate and limit the space trac are adopted,

An energy-balance model for debris-covered glaciers including heat conduction through the debris layer [PDF]
, 2010 Extensive covers of supraglacial debris are often present in glacier ablation areas, and it is essential to assess exactly how the debris affects glacier melt rates.

A distributed energy-balance melt model of an alpine debris-covered glacier [PDF]
, 2014 Distributed energy-balance melt models have rarely been applied to glaciers with extensive supraglacial debris cover. This paper describes the development of a distributed melt model and its application to the debris-covered Miage glacier, western ...

Debris cover and surface melt at a temperate maritime alpine glacier: Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2012 Melt rates on glaciers are strongly influenced by the presence of supraglacial debris, which can either enhance or reduce ablation relative to bare ice.

Human Population Density is a Poor Predictor of Debris in the Environment
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 There have been a variety of attempts to model and quantify the amount of land-based waste entering the world’s oceans, most of which rely heavily on global estimates of population density as the key driving factor.

Representing moisture fluxes and phase changes in glacier debris cover using a reservoir approach [PDF]
, 2014 Due to the complexity of treating moisture in supraglacial debris, surface energy balance models to date have neglected moisture infiltration and phase changes in the debris layer.

Genetic Algorithm for Space Debris and Space Objects Attitude Motion Reconstruction Through Optical Measurements [PDF]
, 2023 Space debris has recently become a major problem in the planning and execution of space missions. Due to the recent widespread placement of satellite mega- constellations in Low Earth Orbits (LEO), where most of the catalogued debris is located, the need
