Thinning of the Monte Perdido Glacier in the Spanish Pyrenees since 1981 [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 This paper analyzes the evolution of the Monte Perdido Glacier, the third largest glacier in the Pyrenees, from 1981 to the present. We assessed the evolution of the glacier's surface area by analysis of aerial photographs from 1981, 1999, and 2006, and ...

Testing hypotheses of the cause of peripheral thinning of the Greenland Ice Sheet: is land-terminating ice thinning at anomalously high rates? [PDF]
, 2008 Recent observations have shown that the periphery of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) is thinning rapidly and that this thinning is greatest around marine-terminating outlet glaciers. Several theories have been proposed which provide a link between climate

Detailed quantification of glacier elevation and mass changes in South Georgia
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 Abstract Most glaciers in South America and on the Antarctic Peninsula are retreating and thinning. They are considered strong contributors to global sea level rise. However, there is a lack of glacier mass balance studies in other areas of the Southern Hemisphere, such as the surrounding Antarctic Islands.

Performance Assessment of TanDEM-X DEM for Mountain Glacier Elevation Change Detection [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2019 TanDEM-X digital elevation model (DEM) is a global DEM released by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) at outstanding resolution of 12 m. However, the procedure for its creation involves the combination of several DEMs from acquisitions spread between 2011 and 2014, which casts doubt on its value for precise glaciological change detection studies.

A Bibliometric and Visualized Analysis of Remote Sensing Methods for Glacier Mass Balance Research
Remote Sensing, 2023 In recent decades, climate change has led to global warming, glacier melting, glacial lake outbursts, sea level rising, and more extreme weather, and has seriously affected human life.

Glacier elevation change in the Western Qilian mountains as observed by TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X images
, 2021 The glaciers in the Qilian mountains are a major water resource for the arid Hexi corridor and Qaidam basin. With the climate becoming warmer and wetter, it is essential to study the glacier elevation changes in this region.

Runaway thinning of the low-elevation Yakutat Glacier, Alaska, and its sensitivity to climate change [PDF]
, 2014 Lake-calving Yakutat Glacier in southeast Alaska, USA, is undergoing rapid thinning and terminus retreat. We use a simplified glacier model to evaluate its future mass loss.
