ICESat laser altimetry over small mountain glaciers [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 Using sparsely glaciated southern Norway as a case study, we assess the potential and limitations of ICESat laser altimetry for analysing regional glacier elevation change in rough mountain terrain.

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).

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.

Glacier elevation and mass changes in Himalayas during 2000–2014 [PDF]
, 2019 Abstract. Glacier mass balance is a crucial parameter to understand the changes in glaciers. For the Himalayas, it is more complex as glaciers have a heterogeneous pattern of elevation and mass changes. In this study, mass balance using geodetic method is estimated, for which we utilize SRTM and TanDEM-X global digital elevation models (DEMs) of the ...

Changes in the Surface Elevation of the Laohugou Glacier No. 12 in Western Qilian Mountains [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 As the largest valley glacier in the Qilian Mountains, the Laohugou glacier No. 12 (LHG12) has shrunk significantly since 1957. In this study, two topographic maps and a WorldView-2 satellite stereopair image data were used to assess the volume and cumulative mass balance of LHG12 located at the western Qilian Mountains during 1957–2015.

Evaluation of the global glacier inventories and assessment of glacier elevation changes over north-western Himalaya [PDF]
, 2021 Abstract. The study evaluates the global glacier inventories available for the study area viz., RGI, GAMDAM and ICIMOD, with the newly generated Kashmir University Glacier Inventory (KUGI) for three Himalaya basins; Jhelum, Suru and Chenab in the north-western Himalaya, comprising of 2096 glaciers spread over an area of 3300 km2.

InSAR observations of ice elevation and velocity fluctuations at the Flade Isblink ice cap, eastern North Greenland [PDF]
, 2010 The 8500 km(2) Flade Isblink ice cap (FIIC) (81 degrees 15'N, 15 degrees 0'W) is the largest ice cap in Greenland. We use repeat-pass interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) techniques to investigate the form and flow of the FIIC.

Rapid demise and committed loss of Bowman Glacier, northern Ellesmere Island, Arctic Canada
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Using historical and recent aerial photography and structure from motion (SfM) multiview stereo (MVS) techniques, we reconstruct the 1959 and 2018 ice surface topography and determine the geodetic mass balance of Bowman Glacier, a small mountain glacier ...

The New Swiss Glacier Inventory SGI2016: From a Topographical to a Glaciological Dataset
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Glaciers in Switzerland are shrinking rapidly in response to ongoing climate change. Repeated glacier inventories are key to monitor such changes at the regional scale. Here we present the new Swiss Glacier Inventory 2016 (SGI2016) that has been acquired

Elevation, volume and terminus changes of nine glaciers in North America [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1998 AbstractNine glaciers in Alaska and Washington, U.S.A., originally mapped as part of the International Geophysical Year (IGY) in 1957—58, were re-mapped between 1993 and 1996, eight using airborne surface elevation profiling and the ninth using ground-based kinematic global positioning system methods.
