Reconstructing Climate Change: Not All Glaciers Suitable [PDF]

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2010
Glaciers are among the most trusted indicators of climate change, not just because they retreat due to the current rise in global temperatures but also because of their central role in reconstructing past climates. Glaciers come in many forms, and their sensitivity to climate change depends partly on the physics governing the individual glacier ...

Including debris cover effects in a distributed model of glacier ablation [PDF]

, 2012
Distributed glacier melt models generally assume that the glacier surface consists of bare exposed ice and snow. In reality, many glaciers are wholly or partially covered in layers of debris that tend to suppress ablation rates.

Hydrological response to climate change in a glacierized catchment in eastern Tien Shan, Central Asia

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: The headwaters of Urumqi River basin located in eastern Tien Shan Study focus: Glacier shrinkage in recent decades has caused the volume and timing of glacier-fed streamflow to change, which in turn has significantly impacted the water ...

Inland thinning of the Amundsen Sea sector, West Antarctica [PDF]

, 2002
[1] Together with the Pine Island glacier (PIG), the Thwaites (TG) and Smith (SG) glaciers are the principal drainage systems of the Amundsen Sea (AS) sector of Western Antarctica.

Rock debris on glaciers: a mechanism for reducing glacier sensitivity to climate change [PDF]

, 2012
Rock debris covering a glacier surface affects the local melt rate by regulating the amount of solar energy available for melting. Supraglacial debris with a thickness of about 2 cm or more insulates the ice, thereby reducing the heat flux.

Recent Changes in the Glaciers of Svartisen [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology, 1965
AbstractThe history of glaciological studies in the Svartisen area is outlined, and observations made by earlier workers are summarized. The present position of the ice limit in the area is indicated and is compared with those of the past Evidence of extensive, and almost continuous, retreat of the glaciers is presented, and emphasis is placed on the ...

Accelerated glacier changes on the James Ross Archipelago, Antarctica, from 2010 to 2023

Journal of Glaciology
Accelerated glacier mass loss across the Antarctic Peninsula has consequences for sea level rise and local ecology. However, there are few direct glaciological observations available from this region.

Outlet glacier seasonal terminus prediction using interpretable machine learning [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Glacier terminus retreat involves complex processes superimposed at the interface between the ice sheet, the ocean, and the subglacial substrate, posing challenges for accurate physical modeling of terminus change.

Perception, history, and science: coherence or disparity in the timing of the Little Ice Age maximum in southeast Iceland? [PDF]

, 2005
In Iceland, studies that integrate local perceptions about the landscape with scientific evidence of change have been few. This article presents a case study from southeast Iceland that has two main objectives.

Glacier changes and their impact on water resources in the qilian mountains, China between 1970 and 2020

Frontiers in Earth Science
Changes in glacier meltwater runoff in the Qilian Mountains situated on the northeastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau are important for sustaining water resources in the arid regions of Northwest China.
