Mapping alpine glaciers changes from space

IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2003
This paper presents the results obtained from the analysis of a set of multitemporal Landsat images for the study of the status of the Italian Alpine glaciers. A fuzzy set based classification technique has permitted the identification of snow and exposed ice in glaciated areas.

Glaciers and climate change

Although my book focuses on valley glaciers, it is not intended to provide a basic course in glaciology, nor does it claim to give a state-of-the-art picture of glacier research. It consists mainly of the personal reflections of a meteorologist who gradually became interested in glaciers and is written primarily for persons with a general interest in ...

Rock Glaciers. A Case for a Change in Nomenclature

Geografiska Annaler. Series A, Physical Geography, 1983
The connotation of the term rock glacier, has been one of a common origin form but it is increasingly appar- ent that we are studying a range of landforms which, with the exception of the glacier debris system type, have no relation- ship with glaciers.

Glacier Changes and Permafrost Distribution

2015
Glaciers, snow cover and permafrost are important storages of terrestrial fresh water and are released from the storage by melting processe having a seasonal dynamics. Their changes over time can have significant impacts on the water cycle controlling the discharge behaviour of alpine rivers and on natural disasters relating to thawing of glaciers ...

Glacier Science and Environmental Change

2006
Glacier Science and Environmental Change is an authoritative and comprehensive reference work on contemporary issues in glaciology. It explores the interface between glacier science and environmental change, in the past, present, and future. Written by the world's foremost authorities in the subject and researchers at the scientific frontier where ...

Karakoram Glaciers and Climate Change

2013
This chapter looks at fluctuations in Karakoram glaciers, mainly in the last 200 years, their consequences and implications for future responses to climate change. Most of the evidence available concerns terminus changes. Improvements in satellite coverage and analytical techniques have increased the range and quality of information but results can ...

Understanding glacier processes to decode the drivers of glacier change

Detection, attribution and projection of glacier and ice-sheet change characterize much of our community’s work, motivated in part by the associated impacts ranging from local hazards to regional water supply to global sea-level rise. Toward improved attribution of glacier change on local to regional scales, I profile work aimed at discerning
