The Randolph Glacier Inventory: a globally complete inventory of glaciers [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2014 AbstractThe Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) is a globally complete collection of digital outlines of glaciers, excluding the ice sheets, developed to meet the needs of the Fifth Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for estimates of past and future mass balance.

A Systematic, Regional Assessment of High Mountain Asia Glacier Mass Balance
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 High-mountain Asia (HMA) constitutes the largest glacierized region outside of the Earth's polar regions. Although available observations are limited, long-term records indicate sustained HMA glacier mass loss since ~1850, with accelerated loss in recent

Partitioning the Uncertainty of Ensemble Projections of Global Glacier Mass Change
Earth's Future, 2020 Glacier mass loss is recognized as a major contributor to current sea level rise. However, large uncertainties remain in projections of glacier mass loss on global and regional scales.

Globally scalable glacier mapping by deep learning matches expert delineation accuracy. [PDF]
Nat CommunAccurate global glacier mapping is critical for understanding climate change impacts. Despite its importance, automated glacier mapping at a global scale remains largely unexplored. Here we address this gap and propose Glacier-VisionTransformer-U-Net (GlaViTU), a convolutional-transformer deep learning model, and five strategies for multitemporal ...

Icequakes coupled with surface displacements for predicting glacier break-off [PDF]
, 2010 A hanging glacier at the east face of Weisshorn (Switzerland) broke off in 2005. We were able to monitor and measure surface motion and icequake activity for 25 days up to three days prior to the break-off. The analysis of seismic waves generated by the glacier during the rupture maturation process revealed four types of precursory signals of the ...

Historically unprecedented global glacier decline in the early 21st century
Journal of Glaciology, 2015 Observations show that glaciers around the world are in retreat and losing mass. Internationally coordinated for over a century, glacier monitoring activities provide an unprecedented dataset of glacier observations from ground, air and space.

Heterogeneous Influence of Glacier Morphology on the Mass Balance Variability in High Mountain Asia
Journal of Geophysical Research F: Earth Surface, 2019 We investigate the control of the morphological variables on the 2000–2016 glacier‐wide mass balances of 6,470 individual glaciers of High Mountain Asia. We separate the data set into 12 regions assumed to be climatically homogeneous.
