CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF COMBINED PIXEL AND OBJECT-BASED METHOD FOR DELINEATION OF DEBRIS-COVERED GLACIERS [PDF]
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018 Delineation of the glacier is an important task for understanding response of glaciers to climate. In Himalayan region, most of the glaciers are covered with debris.

Delineation of Radar Glacier Zones in the Antarctic Peninsula Using Polarimetric SAR [PDF]
Water (Switzerland), 2020 Climate change is a cause of the expansion of snowmelt phenomena in the Antarctic, and shifts in position of wet and dry snow lines have been considered as good indicators of climate changes. The impacts of climate change are observable by the delineation of significant position change of glacier zones.

Automatic Delineation of Debris-Covered Glaciers Using InSAR Coherence Derived From X-, C- and L-Band Radar Data: A Case Study of Yazgyl Glacier [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2018 Despite their importance for mass-balance estimates and the progress in techniques based on optical and thermal satellite imagery, the mapping of debris-covered glacier boundaries remains a challenging task. Manual corrections hamper regular updates.

Debris cover and the thinning of Kennicott Glacier, Alaska: in situ measurements, automated ice cliff delineation and distributed melt estimates [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Many glaciers are thinning rapidly beneath melt-reducing debris cover, including Kennicott Glacier in Alaska where glacier-wide maximum thinning also occurs under debris.

A New Global Gridded Glacier Dataset Based on the Randolph Glacier Inventory Version 6.0
Journal of Glaciology, 2021 Gridded glacier datasets are essential for various glaciological and climatological research because they link glacier cover with the corresponding gridded meteorological variables.

Delineation of Glacier Drainage Basins on Western Vatnajokull [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 1986 Three ice-drainage basins on western Vatnajökull have been delineated with the aid of the first available, accurate ice-surface maps. These basins drain ice towards the major river systems: Tungnaá, Sylgja, and Kaldakvísl, There seems to be an important difference in the location of ice-drainage basins and melt water-drainage basins for the rivers ...

How to Get the Most Out of U-Net for Glacier Calving Front Segmentation
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2022 The melting of ice sheets and glaciers is one of the main contributors to global sea-level rise. Hence, continuous monitoring of glacier changes and in particular the mapping of positional changes of their calving front is of significant importance. This

Slight Change of Glaciers in the Pamir Over the Period 2000–2017
Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2022 Glaciers in the Pamir are the water tower of arid Central Asia, and more than 50 million people depend on meltwater from them. Many studies have reported glacier changes in the Pamir, but the glacier inventories employed in the previous investigations ...
