Worldwide Assessment of National Glacier Monitoring and Future Perspectives
Mountain Research and Development, 2019 It is widely accepted that glaciers are retreating throughout the world and that their decline causes serious impacts on many societies. Knowledge of glacier distribution and quantification of glacier changes is crucial to assessing the impact of glacier

Local topography increasingly influences the mass balance of a retreating cirque glacier [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 Local topographically driven processes – such as wind drifting, avalanching, and shading – are known to alter the relationship between the mass balance of small cirque glaciers and regional climate.

Boundary Aware U-Net for Glacier Segmentation [PDF]
, 2023 Large-scale study of glaciers improves our understanding of global glacier change and is imperative for monitoring the ecological environment, preventing disasters, and studying the effects of global climate change. Glaciers in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) are particularly interesting as the HKH is one of the world's most sensitive regions for climate

A New Method for Automatic Glacier Extraction by Building Decision Trees Based on Pixel Statistics
Remote SensingAutomatic glacier extraction from remote sensing images is the most important approach for large scale glacier monitoring. Commonly used band calculation indices to enhance glacier information are not effective in identifying shadowed glaciers and debris-

J.Phys.Conf.Ser.309:012012,2011, 2011 Liquid argon detectors, with mass up to 100 kton, are being actively studied in the context of proton decay searches, neutrino astrophysics and for the next generation of long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments to study the neutrino mass hierarchy and CP violation in the leptonic sector. The proposed Giant Liquid Argon Charge Imaging ExpeRiment (
