Air temperature distribution and energy balance modelling of a debris-covered glacier [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Near-surface air temperature is an important determinant of the surface energy balance of glaciers that is often represented by constant linear temperature gradients in models.

Mass balance of glacier No. 139 in the basin of Lake Karakul in the Eastern Pamirs

open access: yesCentral 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.

Hydraulic impacts of glacier advance over a sediment bed [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A sedimentary sequence of till overlying a gravel aquifer was instrumented with water-pressure transducers prior to a small, anticipated surge of the margin of the glacier Breiðamerkurjökull in Iceland.

A distributed energy-balance melt model of an alpine debris-covered glacier [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Distributed energy-balance melt models have rarely been applied to glaciers with extensive supraglacial debris cover. This paper describes the development of a distributed melt model and its application to the debris-covered Miage glacier, western ...

The Randolph Glacier Inventory: a globally complete inventory of glaciers [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2014
Abstract The 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.

Modeling 2m air temperatures over mountain glaciers: Exploring the influence of katabatic cooling and external warming [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Air temperature is one of the most relevant input variables for snow and ice melt calculations. However, local meteorological conditions, complex topography, and logistical concerns in glacierized regions make the measuring and modeling of air ...

The distribution of basal motion beneath a High Arctic polythermal glacier [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The longitudinal pattern of surface velocity of a large, predominantly colds polythermal glacier (John Evans Glacier, Ellesmere Island, Canada) was measured over summer and winter periods.

Coherent scatterers detection: application over glacier terrain using TerraSAR-X time series data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This paper investigates the detection of Coherent Scatterers (CSs) in ice and glacier terrain by means of TerraSAR-X time series data in the test site of the Helheim Glacier in Greenland.
