Modelling debris-covered glacier melt

2023
Meltwater 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.

Evaluating Simplified Numerical Models of Debris-Covered Glaciers

2021
<p>The transient response of debris-covered glaciers to a changing climate is governed by nonlinear feedbacks between ice dynamics, debris transport, and glacier geometry and that act over a wide range of temporal and spatial scales.

The geomorphology of debris-covered Ponkar Glacier, Nepal

2020
<p>Understanding the evolution of debris-covered glaciers in High Mountain Asia is important for making informed projections of climate change impacts and associated water security and hazard-related issues.  Here we describe the geomorphology of Ponkar Glacier, a debris-covered glacier in Nepal using high-resolution

The formation of supraglacial debris covers by primary dispersal from transverse englacial debris bands

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2013
ABSTRACTGlaciological controls on debris cover formation are investigated from the perspective of primary dispersal of supraglacial debris across a melting ice surface. This involves the migration of angled debris septa outcrops across a melting, thinning glacier ablation zone.

Inferring Debris Properties on Debris-Covered Glaciers: Implications for Glacier Modelling

Debris, ranging from thin surface dust to medial moraines and thick, continuous layers in ablation zones, partially covers glaciers all around the world. By modifying energy transfer from the atmosphere to the ice, the supraglacial debris layer fundamentally controls sub-debris melt rates.

DEBRIS-COVERED GLACIERS AND ROCK GLACIERS

2014
The debris-covered glaciers are observed all over the glaciation regions of the world (Alps, Antarctica, Greenland, Ants, Cascades, Rocky Mountains and ext.). The debris covered glaciers are the formations which occur as a result of the recession of normal glaciers.
