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.

Global glacier change in the 21st century: Every increase in temperature matters

Science, 2023
Glacier mass loss affects sea level rise, water resources, and natural hazards. We present global glacier projections, excluding the ice sheets, for shared socioeconomic pathways calibrated with data for each glacier.

High Mountain Asian glacier response to climate revealed by multi-temporal satellite observations since the 1960s

Nature Communications, 2021
Knowledge about the long-term response of High Mountain Asian glaciers to climatic variations is paramount because of their important role in sustaining Asian river flow.

Nonlinear sensitivity of glacier mass balance to future climate change unveiled by deep learning

Nature Communications, 2022
Glaciers and ice caps are experiencing strong mass losses worldwide, challenging water availability, hydropower generation, and ecosystems. Here, we perform the first-ever glacier evolution projections based on deep learning by modelling the 21st century

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

Ocean forcing drives glacier retreat in Greenland

Science Advances, 2021
Many Greenland glaciers have been attacked by the ocean from below and, in turn, contributed to sea-level rise from the ice sheet. The retreat and acceleration of Greenland glaciers since the mid-1990s have been attributed to the enhanced intrusion of ...

Distributed Global Debris Thickness Estimates Reveal Debris Significantly Impacts Glacier Mass Balance

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
Supraglacial debris affects glacier mass balance as a thin layer enhances surface melting, while a thick layer reduces it. While many glaciers are debris‐covered, global glacier models do not account for debris because its thickness is unknown.

Dynamic ice loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet driven by sustained glacier retreat

Communications Earth & Environment, 2020
The Greenland Ice Sheet is losing mass at accelerated rates in the 21st century, making it the largest single contributor to rising sea levels. Faster flow of outlet glaciers has substantially contributed to this loss, with the cause of speedup, and ...

Democratizing Glacier Data – Maturity of Worldwide Datasets and Future Ambitions

Frontiers in Climate, 2022
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]

, 2012
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.
