Comparison of multiple glacier inventories with a new inventory derived from high-resolution ALOS imagery in the Bhutan Himalaya [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 Digital glacier inventories are invaluable data sets for revealing the characteristics of glacier distribution and for upscaling measurements from selected locations to entire mountain ranges.

Using a Web Map Service to map Little Ice Age glacier extents at regional scales
Annals of Glaciology, 2023 Extending the record of glacier area changes into the past improves our understanding of climate change impacts. Although analogue maps showing historic glacier extents are abundant, digital outlines from before the satellite era are sparse as the ...

A distributed energy-balance melt model of an alpine debris-covered glacier [PDF]
, 2014 Distributed energy-balance melt models have rarely been applied to glaciers with extensive supraglacial debris cover. This paper describes the development of a distributed melt model and its application to the debris-covered Miage glacier, western ...

The GAMDAM glacier inventory: a quality-controlled inventory of Asian glaciers [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 We present a new glacier inventory for high-mountain Asia named "Glacier Area Mapping for Discharge from the Asian Mountains" (GAMDAM). Glacier outlines were delineated manually using 356 Landsat ETM+ scenes in 226 path-row sets from the period 1999–2003,

Modeling 2m air temperatures over mountain glaciers: Exploring the influence of katabatic cooling and external warming [PDF]
, 2015 Air temperature is one of the most relevant input variables for snow and ice melt calculations. However, local meteorological conditions, complex topography, and logistical concerns in glacierized regions make the measuring and modeling of air ...

AutoTerm: A "big data" repository of Greenland glacier termini delineated using deep learning
, 2022 Abstract. Ice sheet marine margins via outlet glaciers are susceptible to climate change and are expected to respond through retreat, steepening, and acceleration, although with significant spatial heterogeneity. However, research on ice-ocean interactions has continued to rely on decentralized, manual mapping of features at the ice-ocean interface ...

Across-Track and Multi-Aperture InSAR for 3-D Glacier Velocity Estimation of the Siachen Glacier
Remote Sensing, 2023 Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) remote sensing generally lacks deformation sensitivity in the along-track direction. In this proposed approach, across-track observations from conventional InSAR, using both ascending and descending passes,
