A comparison of glacier melt on debris-covered glaciers in the northern and southern Caucasus [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2011 The glacier coverage in the Caucasus Mountains underwent considerable changes during the last decades. In some regions, the observed reduction in glacier area is comparable to those in the European Alps and the extent of supra-glacial debris increased on

Supra-glacial debris cover changes in the Greater Caucasus from 1986 to 2014 [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Knowledge of supra-glacial debris cover and its changes remain incomplete in the Greater Caucasus, in spite of recent glacier studies. Here we present data of supra-glacial debris cover for 659 glaciers across the Greater Caucasus based on Landsat and ...

High-resolution debris-cover mapping using UAV-derived thermal imagery: limits and opportunities [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Debris-covered glaciers are widespread in high mountain ranges on earth. However, the dynamic evolution of debris-covered glacier surfaces is not well understood, in part due to difficulties in mapping debris-cover thickness in high spatiotemporal ...

Debris cover effects on energy and mass balance of Batura Glacier in the Karakoram over the past 20 years [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System SciencesThe influence of supraglacial debris cover on glacier mass balance in the Karakoram is noteworthy. However, understanding of how debris cover affects the seasonal and long-term variations in glacier mass balance through alterations in the glacier's ...

Debris Cover Limits Subglacial Erosion and Promotes Till Accumulation. [PDF]
Geophys Res Lett, 2022 Glaciers are commonly conceptualized as bodies composed of snow and ice. Yet, many glaciers contain a substantial amount of rock, especially those abutting steep mountains. Mountain slopes erode, depositing rocks on glaciers below.

Estimation of debris flight trajectories of roof cover from low-rise buildings
Frontiers in Built EnvironmentDuring windstorm events buildings can represent both wind-borne debris source and target elements. Roof cover can fail and be blown away, impacting the surrounding construction, reaching significant distances.

Modelling supraglacial debris-cover evolution from the single-glacier to the regional scale: an application to High Mountain Asia [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Currently, about 12 %–13 % of High Mountain Asia’s glacier area is debris-covered, which alters its surface mass balance. However, in regional-scale modelling approaches, debris-covered glaciers are typically treated as clean-ice glaciers, leading to a ...

Patterns and drivers of glacier debris-cover development in the Afghanistan Hindu Kush Himalaya
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Debris-covered ice is widespread in mountain regions with debris an important control on surface ice melt and glacier retreat. Quantifying debris cover extent and its evolution through time over large regions remains a challenge.

DERIVATION OF SUPRAGLACIAL DEBRIS COVER BY MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS ON THE GEE PLATFORM: A CASE STUDY OF GLACIERS IN THE HUNZA VALLEY [PDF]
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2020 Calculating the spatial-temporal distribution of supraglacial debris cover on glaciers is essential for understanding mass balance processes, glacier lake outburst floods, hydrological predictions, and glacier fluctuations that have attracted attention ...
