Mass balance of glacier No. 139 in the basin of Lake Karakul in the Eastern Pamirs
Central Asian Journal of Water Research, 2022 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.

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

Thinning of the Monte Perdido Glacier in the Spanish Pyrenees since 1981 [PDF]
, 2016 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,

Effect of topography on subglacial discharge and submarine melting during tidewater glacier retreat. [PDF]
, 2017 -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 ...

Tributary Glacier Surges: An Exceptional Concentration at Panmah Glacier, Karakoram Himalaya [PDF]
, 2007 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.

A spatially resolved estimate of High Mountain Asia glacier mass balances, 2000-2016
Nature Geoscience, 2017 High Mountain Asia hosts the largest glacier concentration outside the polar regions. These glaciers are important contributors to streamflow in one of the most populated areas of the world. Past studies have used methods that can only provide regionally-

Impacts of tidewater glacier advance on iceberg habitat
Annals of Glaciology, 2023 Icebergs in proglacial fjords serve as pupping, resting and molting habitat for some of the largest seasonal aggregations of harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardii) in Alaska.
