Arthropod colonisation of a debris-covered glacier
The Holocene, 2010The largest debris-covered glacier in the Alps (Miage Glacier, western Italian Alps) has been studied to explore the effects of debris-cover extent and depth on the spatial distribution of ground-dwelling arthropods. A multitaxa approach has been used to compare taxa richness and distribution to the functional role (dietary habits) of each taxon along ...

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 ...

Evolution and hydrological importance of debris-covered glaciers and ice-debris landforms
2021<p>Debris-covered glaciers and ice-debris landforms such as rock glaciers are common in many mountain areas of Earth, are important for the debris transport system and contain a significant amount of ice. The presence, amount and characteristics of debris can strongly alter ice melt and the evolution of glaciers and ice-debris landforms ...

Debris-covered glaciers are characterised by a mantle of rock material, the supraglacial debris, spread over part of the ablation zone. The debris material origins from the catchment above and the bedrock below the glacier and appears at the glacier surface in the ablation zone.

Change in surface debris cover on Mont Blanc massif glaciers after the‘Little Ice Age’ termination
Holocene, 2005 International audienceBecause of insulation by supraglacial debris, the dynamics of debris-covered glaciers differ from those of‘clean' glaciers. Thus, changes in debris cover have to be taken into account when interpreting glacier fluctuations in terms ...

Recent spatial and temporal variations in debris cover on Patagonian glaciers [PDF]
Geomorphology, 2016 Supraglacial debris cover is an important component of glacier mass balance, especially in areas characterised by widespread glacier recession. Mapping of the spatial and temporal changes in debris cover on the surface of the receding outlet glaciers of ...

Modeling of the Mass Balance of Glaciers with Debris Cover
2021Mountain 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.

Modelling debris-covered glacier melt
2023Meltwater from glaciers contributes to hydro-electricity and agricultural production in some places, and model predictions of glacier melt can inform water management decisions. However, predictions are inherently uncertain. Accurately constrained uncertainty can be key to success of management decisions.

Debris cover and the thinning of Kennicott Glacier, Alaska
2021<p>Many glaciers in High Mountain Asia are experiencing the debris-cover anomaly. The Kennicott Glacier, a large Alaskan Glacier, is also thinning most rapidly under debris cover. This contradiction has been explained by melt hotspots, such as ice cliffs, streams, or ponds scattered within the debris cover or by declining ice flow in time.
