Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 A large number of glaciers in the Hindu-Kush Himalaya are covered with debris in the lower part of the ablation zone, which is continuously expanding due to enhanced glacier mass loss.

A Distributed Energy-balance Melt Model of an Alpine Debris-covered Glacier [PDF]
, 2014 Distributed energy-balance melt models have rarely been applied to glaciers with extensive supraglacial debris cover. This paper describes the development of a distributed melt model and its application to the debris-covered Miage glacier, western ...

Air Temperature Distribution and Energy-balance Modelling of a Debris-covered Glacier [PDF]
, 2016 Near-surface air temperature is an important determinant of the surface energy balance of glaciers and is often represented by a constant linear temperature gradients (TGs) in models.

The New Swiss Glacier Inventory SGI2016: From a Topographical to a Glaciological Dataset
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Glaciers in Switzerland are shrinking rapidly in response to ongoing climate change. Repeated glacier inventories are key to monitor such changes at the regional scale. Here we present the new Swiss Glacier Inventory 2016 (SGI2016) that has been acquired

Arthropod colonisation of a debris-covered glacier
The Holocene, 2010 The 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

Remote Sensing, 2016 Previous studies have shown contrasting glacier elevation and mass changes in the sub-regions of high-mountain Asia. However, the elevation changes on an individual catchment scale can be potentially influenced by supraglacial debris, ponds, lakes and ...

Regional debris flow susceptibility analysis in mountainous peri-urban areas through morphometric and land cover indicators [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014 A method for assessing regional debris flow susceptibility at the watershed scale, based on an index composed of a morphometric indicator and a land cover indicator, is proposed and applied in 106 peri-urban mountainous watersheds in Bogotá, Colombia ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Debris-covered glaciers, especially in high-mountain Asia, have received increased attention in recent years. So far, few field-based observations of distributed mass loss exist and both the properties of the debris layer as well as the atmospheric ...

An ablation model for debris-covered ice: the case study of Venerocolo Glacier (Italian Alps) [PDF]
, 2015 We developed a simple model to estimate ice ablation under a debris cover. The ablation process is modelled using energy and mass conservation equations for debris and ice and heat conduction, driven by input of either i) debris surface temperature or ii)

The state of rock debris covering Earth’s glaciers [PDF]
Nature Geoscience, 2020 Rock debris can accumulate on glacier surfaces and dramatically reduce glacier melt. The structure of a debris cover is unique to each glacier and sensitive to climate. Despite this, debris cover has been omitted from global glacier models and forecasts of their response to a changing climate. Fundamental to resolving these omissions is a global map of
