Recent hydrological response of glaciers in the Canadian Rockies to changing climate and glacier configuration [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2022
Mountain snow and ice greatly influence the hydrological cycle of alpine regions by regulating both the quantity of and seasonal variations in water availability downstream.

Geometric Evolution of the Chongce Glacier during 1970–2020, Detected by Multi-Source Satellite Observations

Remote Sensing, 2021
Glacier surge, which causes a quick movement of ice mass from high to low elevation, is closely associated to the glacial hazards of debris flows and glacial lake outburst floods.

Sustained retreat of the Pine Island Glacier [PDF]

, 2013
We use satellite observations to show that, between 1992 and 2011, the Pine Island Glacier hinge line retreated at a rate of 0.95 ± 0.09 km yr−1 despite a progressive steepening and shoaling of the glacier surface and bedrock slopes, respectively, which ...

Recent Evolution of Glaciers in the Manaslu Region of Nepal From Satellite Imagery and UAV Data (1970–2019)

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Glacierized mountain ranges such as the Himalaya comprise a variety of glacier types, including clean and debris-covered glaciers. Monitoring their behaviour over time requires an assessment of changes in area and elevation along with surface features ...

Comprehensive estimation of lake volume changes on the Tibetan Plateau during 1976-2019 and basin-wide glacier contribution.

Science of the Total Environment, 2021
Volume changes and water balances of the lakes on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) are spatially heterogeneous and the lake-basin scale drivers remain unclear. In this study, we comprehensively estimated water volume changes for 1132 lakes larger than 1 km2 and ...

Increased rate of acceleration on Pine Island Glacier strongly coupled to changes in gravitational driving stress [PDF]

, 2009
Pine Island Glacier, Antarctica, has been undergoing several related changes for at least two decades; these include acceleration, thinning and grounding line retreat.

Rapid mass loss and disappearance of summer-accumulation type hanging glacier

Advances in Climate Change Research, 2022
Hanging glaciers hold the absolute dominant number in West China and their changes had important influences on local hydrology, sea-level rise and natural hazards (snow/ice avalanches).

Glacier Changes in Iceland From ∼1890 to 2019

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
The volume of glaciers in Iceland (∼3,400 k m 3 in 2019) corresponds to about 9 mm of potential global sea level rise. In this study, observations from 98.7% of glacier covered areas in Iceland (in 2019) are used to construct a record of mass change of ...

Glacier changes monitoring in Bhutan High Himalaya using remote sensing technology

Environmental Engineering Research, 2020
The primary objectives of this study are to identify glacier cover, detect changes of glacier from 1978 to 2017 in Bhutan, and identification of vulnerable zone based on glacier changes.
