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

Glacier Mass Change in High Mountain Asia Through 2100 Using the Open-Source Python Glacier Evolution Model (PyGEM)

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Glaciers in High Mountain Asia are an important freshwater resource for large populations living downstream who rely on runoff for hydropower, irrigation, and municipal use.

Globally scalable glacier mapping by deep learning matches expert delineation accuracy. [PDF]

Nat Commun
Accurate 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 ...

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.

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.

A general theory of glacier surges

Journal of Glaciology, 2019
We present the first general theory of glacier surging that includes both temperate and polythermal glacier surges, based on coupled mass and enthalpy budgets.

A new model for global glacier change and sea-level rise

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2015
The anticipated retreat of glaciers around the globe will pose far-reaching challenges to the management of fresh water resources and significantly contribute to sea-level rise within the coming decades.
