Democratizing Glacier Data – Maturity of Worldwide Datasets and Future Ambitions
The creation and curation of environmental data present numerous challenges and rewards. In this study, we reflect on the increasing amount of freely available glacier data (inventories and changes), as well as on related demands by data providers, data ...

The role of glacier mice in the invertebrate colonisation of glacial surfaces: the moss balls of the Falljökull, Iceland [PDF]
Glacier surfaces have a surprisingly complex ecology. Cryoconite holes contain diverse invertebrate communities while other invertebrates, such as Collembola often graze on algae and windblown dead organic on the glacier surface.

Mass balance of glacier No. 139 in the basin of Lake Karakul in the Eastern Pamirs
Mountain glaciers, including the poorly examined glaciers of Lake Karakul Basin, are considered the most vulnerable part of the cryosphere directly reacting to the changing climatic conditions.

Thinning of the Monte Perdido Glacier in the Spanish Pyrenees since 1981 [PDF]
Producción CientíficaThis paper analyzes the evolution of the Monte Perdido Glacier, the third largest glacier in the Pyrenees, from 1981 to the present. We assessed the evolution of the glacier's surface area by analysis of aerial photographs from 1981,

Geomatic methods applied to the change study of the la Paúl Rock Glacier, Spanish Pyrenees [PDF]
Producción CientíficaRock glaciers are one of the most important features of the mountain permafrost in the Pyrenees. La Paúl is an active rock glacier located in the north face of the Posets massif in the La Paúl glacier cirque (Spanish Pyrenees).

Tributary Glacier Surges: An Exceptional Concentration at Panmah Glacier, Karakoram Himalaya [PDF]
Four tributaries of Panmah Glacier have surged in less than a decade, three in quick succession between 2001 and 2005. Since 1985, 13 surges have been recorded in the Karakoram Himalaya, more than in any comparable period since the 1850s.

Effect of topography on subglacial discharge and submarine melting during tidewater glacier retreat. [PDF]
-We explored secular variations in subglacial discharge and submarine melting with an idealized model -Subglacial discharge increases as tidewater glaciers retreat along retrograde beds -Submarine melting depends on subglacial discharge and ...

A regional spatiotemporal analysis of large magnitude snow avalanches using tree rings [PDF]
Snow avalanches affect transportation corridors and settlements worldwide. In many mountainous regions, robust records of avalanche frequency and magnitude are sparse or non-existent.

Influence of subglacial drainage system evolution on glacier surface motion: Haut Glacier d'Arolla, Switzerland [PDF]
The relationship between the evolution of subglacial drainage system morphology and spatial patterns of glacier surface velocity was investigated using dye tracing experiments and ground surveying throughout the 1995 melt season at Haut Glacier d'Arolla,
