Modelling debris transport within glaciers by advection in a full-Stokes ice flow model [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 Glaciers with extensive surface debris cover respond differently to climate forcing than those without supraglacial debris. In order to include debris-covered glaciers in projections of glaciogenic runoff and sea level rise and to understand the ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Modelling ablation of glacier ice under a layer of mineral debris is increasingly important, because the extent of supraglacial debris is expanding worldwide due to glacier recession.

Debris Thickness of Glaciers in the Everest Area (Nepal Himalaya) Derived from Satellite Imagery Using a Nonlinear Energy Balance Model [PDF]
, 2014 Debris thickness is an important characteristic of debris-covered glaciers in the Everest region of the Himalayas. The debris thickness controls the melt rates of the glaciers, which has large implications for hydrologic models, the glaciers' response to

Geomorphology, 2020 Debris-covered glaciers receive increasing attention during the current period of sustained negative mass balance and expanding debris cover. The debris cover induces various feedback mechanisms that shape the evolution of the glacier geometry, and also ...

Sub-debris melt rates on southern Inylchek Glacier, central Tian Shan [PDF]
, 2008 Melt rates of glacier surfaces are strongly influenced by the existence of a debris cover. Dependent on thickness and other physical parameters the debris layer can enhance or reduce ablation as compared to bare ice conditions.

Recycled ejecta modulating Strombolian explosions [PDF]
, 2016 Two main end-members of eruptive regimes are identified from analyses of high-speed videos collected at Stromboli volcano (Italy), based on vent conditions: one where the vent is completely clogged by debris, and a second where the vent is open, without ...

Supraglacial Ponds Regulate Runoff From Himalayan Debris‐Covered Glaciers [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 AbstractMeltwater and runoff from glaciers in High Mountain Asia is a vital freshwater resource for one‐fifth of the Earth's population. Between 13% and 36% of the region's glacierized areas exhibit surface debris cover and associated supraglacial ponds whose hydrological buffering roles remain unconstrained.

Ice cliff contribution to the tongue-wide ablation of Changri Nup Glacier, Nepal, central Himalaya [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 Ice cliff backwasting on debris-covered glaciers is recognized as an important mass-loss process that is potentially responsible for the debris-cover anomaly, i.e.

Southwest-facing slopes control the formation of debris-covered glaciers in the Bhutan Himalaya [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2013 To understand the formation conditions of debris-covered glaciers, we examined the dimension and shape of debris-covered areas and potential debris-supply (PDS) slopes of 213 glaciers in the Bhutan Himalaya.
