First in situ record of decadal glacier mass balance (2003–2014) from the Bhutan Himalaya

Annals of Glaciology, 2016
This study presents the first decadal mass-balance record of a small debris-free glacier in the Bhutan Himalaya, where few in situ measurements have been reported to date. Since 2003 we have measured the mass balance of Gangju La glacier, which covers an

A comparison of glacier melt on debris-covered glaciers in the northern and southern Caucasus [PDF]

, 2011
The glacier coverage in the Caucasus Mountains underwent considerable changes during the last decades. In some regions, the observed reduction in glacier area is comparable to those in the European Alps and the extent of supra-glacial debris increased on

Differences in the transient responses of individual glaciers: a case study of the Cascade Mountains of Washington State, USA

Journal of Glaciology, 2022
Mountain glaciers have response times that govern retreat due to anthropogenic climate change. We use geometric attributes to estimate individual response times for 383 glaciers in the Cascade mountain range of Washington State, USA. Approximately 90% of

Vanishing and vanished glaciers. Introduction to the Annals of Glaciology Collection

Annals of Glaciology
We summarize and reflect on the nearly 30 studies that form this Collection on Vanishing Glaciers as a contribution to the 2025 International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation. Some of the studies in this Collection are extensions of the stories told in the

Surface velocity fluctuations for Glaciar Universidad, central Chile, between 1967 and 2015

Journal of Glaciology, 2016
For the Andes Cordillera, where observed mass-balance records are sparse, long-term glacier velocity measurements potentially represent a useful tool for assessing glacier health.

Brief communication "Historical glacier length changes in West Greenland" [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2012
Past glacier fluctuations provide insight into glacier dynamics, climate change, and the contribution of glaciers to sea-level rise. Here, the length fluctuations since the 19th century of 18 local glaciers in West and South Greenland are presented ...

Recent mass-balance changes of Agua Negra glacier (30°S) in the Desert Andes of Argentina

Journal of Glaciology, 2022
The Desert Andes contain >4500 ice masses, but only a handful are currently being monitored. We present the mass changes of the small mountain glacier Agua Negra (1 km2) and of the rest of glaciers in the Jáchal river basin. Remote-sensing data show Agua

Modelling evolution of a large, glacier-fed lake in the Western Indian Himalaya

Scientific Reports, 2023
In this study, we simulated the evolution of a large glacier-fed lake called the Gepan Gath lake located in Western Himalayas by numerically modelling the evolution of the Gepan Gath glacier that feeds the lake.
