Glacier fluctuations and climates in the Himalayas.
Glacier fluctuations during the Holocene in the Himalayas are compared with those in the world. Characteristics of glacier mass balance in the Nepal Himalaya, which belongs to the summer-accumulation type, are described. And the glacier fluctuations after the Little Ice Age in the Nepal Himalaya are discussed on the basis of variation of summer air ...

The distribution of basal motion beneath a High Arctic polythermal glacier [PDF]
The longitudinal pattern of surface velocity of a large, predominantly colds polythermal glacier (John Evans Glacier, Ellesmere Island, Canada) was measured over summer and winter periods.

Fluctuations of glaciers of the Klyuchevskaya group of volcanoes in the 20th –21st centuries
Changes in sizes of the Klyuchevskaya volcanic group's glaciers had been estimated for the period from 1949–1950 to 2010–2015 using results of analysis of current satellite imagery, data of field observations and historic records.

Projected effects of temperature changes on the Italian Western Tauri glaciers (Eastern Alps)
A linear model was used to investigate the behaviour of the Italian Western Tauri glaciers as a result of temperature changes projected for the 21st century.

Glaciological results of the 2005 expedition to Inylchek Glacier, Central Tian Shan [PDF]
Like many other glaciers in Central Asia, Southern Inylchek glacier in the Kyrgyz Tian Shan is covered by supraglacial moraine, which drastically influences melt rates and complicates the estimation of ablation. The quantification of sub-debris melt from

The history of glacier length fluctuations serves as a reliable indicator of the past climate. In this paper, a numerical flowline model has been used to study the relationship between length variations of Chhota Shigri glacier and local climate since ...

Cirque Glacier on South Georgia Shows Centennial Variability over the Last 7000 Years
A 7000 year-long cirque glacier reconstruction from South Georgia, based on detailed analysis of fine-grained sediments deposited downstream in a bog and a lake, suggests continued presence during most of the Holocene.

Runoff modelling in glacierized Central Asian catchments for present-day and future climate [PDF]
A conceptual precipitation–runoff model was applied in five glacierized catchments in Central Asia. The model, which was first developed and applied in the Alps, works on a daily time step and yields good results in the more continental climate of the ...
