Glacier shrinkage across High Mountain Asia

Annals of Glaciology, 2016
An assessment of glacier shrinkage (reduction of area) for all of High Mountain Asia requires a complete compilation of measured rates of change and also a methodology for objective comparison of rates.

Modelling and climatic interpretation of the length fluctuations of Glaciar Frías (north Patagonian Andes, Argentina) 1639–2009 AD [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2012
We explore the climatic information contained in the record of length fluctuations of Glaciar Frías, in the north Patagonian Andes of Argentina. This record is one of the longest and most detailed glacier records in southern South America, starting in ...

The response of glaciers to climatic persistence

Journal of Glaciology, 2016
The attribution of past glacier length fluctuations to changes in climate requires characterizing glacier mass-balance variability. Observational records, which are relatively short, are consistent with random fluctuations uncorrelated in time, plus an ...

Testing the consistency between changes in simulated climate and Alpine glacier length over the past millennium [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2018
It is standard to compare climate model results covering the past millennium and reconstructions based on various archives in order to test the ability of models to reproduce the observed climate variability.

Neue Ergebnisse zur Gletscher- und Klimageschichte des Spätmittelalters und der Neuzeit [PDF]

Geographica Helvetica
This article contributes to the glacier and climatic fluctuations during the late Middle Ages and the Modern Times. With the aid of radiocarbon dating of fossil woods and a fossil soil (fAh) located in the gletschervorfeld of two glaciers (Glacier de ...

Long-term estimation of glacier mass balance using geospatial techniques in Western Himalayas, Ladakh, India

Quaternary Science Advances, 2023
All glaciers are subject to mass fluctuations in the current context of climate change. For daily requirements like food, drink, irrigation, and the generation of hydroelectric power, these glaciers provide water to important basins including the Indus ...

Classification and kinematics of the Planpincieux Glacier break-offs using photographic time-lapse analysis

Journal of Glaciology, 2020
Herein, we present results obtained from time-lapse imagery acquired by a digital single-lens reflex camera during 2014–18 used to monitor the Planpincieux Glacier on the Italian side of the Grandes Jorasses (Mont Blanc massif).

Widespread and accelerating glacier retreat on the Lyngen Peninsula, northern Norway, since their ‘Little Ice Age’ maximum

Journal of Glaciology, 2018
The recession of mountain glaciers worldwide is increasing global sea level and, in many regions, human activities will have to adapt to changes in surface hydrology.

Multi-decadal elevation changes of the land terminating sector of West Greenland

Journal of Glaciology, 2023
Regional assessments of ice elevation change provide insight into the processes controlling an ice sheet's geometric response to climate forcing. In Southwest Greenland's land terminating sector (SWLTS), it is presumed that ice surface elevation changes ...

Diurnal fluctuations of glacier surface velocity observed with terrestrial radar interferometry at Laohugou No. 12 Glacier, western Qilian mountains, China

Journal of Glaciology, 2019
Measurements of short-interval variations in glacier surface velocity, which contribute to our understanding of ice motion mechanisms, remain scarce on the Tibetan Plateau.
