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.

Improving semi-automated glacier mapping with a multi-method approach: applications in central Asia [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 Studies of glaciers generally require precise glacier outlines. Where these are not available, extensive manual digitization in a geographic information system (GIS) must be performed, as current algorithms struggle to delineate glacier areas with debris

Delineation of a complexly dipping temperate glacier bed using short-pulse radar arrays [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2000 AbstractWe have defined the complex bed topography for a section of a small temperate glacier using 50 MHz monostatic short-pulse radar data and a synthetic-aperture array-processing method. The data were collected on a 100 m by 340 m array grid in the upper stem of Gulkana Glacier, central Alaska, U.S.A.

Subglacial drainage processes at a High Arctic polythermal valley glacier [PDF]
, 2005 Dye-tracer experiments undertaken over two summer melt seasons at polythermal John Evans Glacier, Ellesmere Island, Canada, were designed to investigate the character of the subglacial drainage system and its evolution over a melt season. In both summers,

Air temperature distribution and energy balance modelling of a debris-covered glacier [PDF]
, 2016 Near-surface air temperature is an important determinant of the surface energy balance of glaciers that is often represented by constant linear temperature gradients in models.

Downwasting and supraglacial lake evolution on the debris-covered Ngozumpa Glacier, Khumbu Himal, Nepal [PDF]
, 2015 In recent decades, the downwasting of several debris-covered glaciers in the Himalaya has led to the formation of large and potentially hazardous moraine- dammed lakes.

Remote Sensing, 2021 Lakes on the Tibetan Plateau have experienced variations over the last several decades, and the delineation of lake dynamics is favorable for the regional water cycle and can serve as important information for plateau environmental research.

Hydraulic impacts of glacier advance over a sediment bed [PDF]
, 2006 A sedimentary sequence of till overlying a gravel aquifer was instrumented with water-pressure transducers prior to a small, anticipated surge of the margin of the glacier Breiðamerkurjökull in Iceland.

Glacier inventory and recent glacier variations in the Andes of Chile, South America
Annals of Glaciology, 2017 The first satellite-derived inventory of glaciers and rock glaciers in Chile, created from Landsat TM/ETM+ images spanning between 2000 and 2003 using a semi-automated procedure, is presented in a single standardized format.
