Including debris cover effects in a distributed model of glacier ablation

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research, 2012
Distributed glacier melt models generally assume that the glacier surface consists of bare exposed ice and snow. In reality, many glaciers are wholly or partially covered in layers of debris that tend to suppress ablation rates.

Evolution of debris cover on glaciers of the Eastern Alps, Austria, between 1996 and 2015

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2021
Debris cover on glaciers is an important component of glacial systems as it influences climate–glacier dynamics and thus the lifespan of glaciers. Increasing air temperatures, permafrost thaw and rock faces freshly exposed by glacier downwasting in ...

Debris-cover impact on glacier melting in the Upper Indus Basin

open access: yesPolar Science, 2022
Out of 4530 glaciers covering ∼4770 km2 in the Upper Indus Basin, viz., Chenab, Zanaskar and Suru sub-basins, we selected topographically and morphologically homogeneous set of 98 glaciers; 56 debris-covered and 42 clean to assess the impact of debris ...

Structurally controlled englacial origin of supraglacial debris cover and relief at a debris-covered Alpine glacier

2022
<p>It is common for temperate glaciers in mountainous regions to exhibit an extensive ablation-zone supraglacial debris cover. Although secondary reworking of surface debris and its role in modifying rates of glacier melt is receiving increasing attention, debris origin and primary distribution is poorly understood. Arguably, studies have

CARBON GAS CYCLING IN SUPRAGLACIAL DEBRIS COVERS

Geological Society of America Abstracts with Programs, 2020
<p>Debris-covered glaciers extend over 4000 km2 in the high Asian Mountains and are significant and expanding features of most of the World’s glacierized mountain ranges. Within supraglacial debris covers, a combination of fresh mechanically-weathered rock and an abundance of water and energy during melt seasons ...

Debris thickness patterns on debris-covered glaciers

Geomorphology, 2018
Abstract Many debris-covered glaciers have broadly similar debris thickness patterns: surface debris thickens and tends to transition from convex- to concave-up-down glacier. We explain this pattern using theory (analytical and numerical models) paired with empirical observations.
