Remote sensing of glacier- and permafrost-related hazards in high mountains: an overview [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2005
Process interactions and chain reactions, the present shift of cryospheric hazard zones due to atmospheric warming, and the potential far reach of glacier disasters make it necessary to apply modern remote sensing techniques for the assessment of glacier

Glacier and Permafrost Hazards

, 2021
Retreating glaciers and thawing permafrost are causing local- to regional-scale hazards that threaten lives and livelihoods, infrastructure, sustainable resource development, and national security. Permafrost hazards are gradually impacting people across the Arctic, while glacier/permafrost hazard cascades are abrupt, more localized, and most life ...

Glacier and glacier hazard characterization based on remote sensing interpretation: a case study in Qinghai Province, China

Frontiers in Earth Science
Against the backdrop of global climate warming, glaciers across the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau are undergoing widespread retreat, glacial lakes are expanding rapidly, and disasters such as ice avalanches and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are occurring ...

Melting of the glacier base during a small-volume subglacial rhyolite eruption: evidence from Blahnukur, Iceland. [PDF]

, 2002
Although observations of recent volcanic eruptions beneath Vatnajokull, Iceland have improved the understanding of ice deformation and meltwater drainage, little is known about the processes that occur at the glacier base.

Kinematics of the exceptionally-short surge cycles of Sít’ Kusá (Turner Glacier), Alaska, from 1983 to 2013

Journal of Glaciology, 2021
Glacier surges are periodic episodes of mass redistribution characterized by dramatic increases in ice flow velocity and, sometimes, terminus advance.

Evaluating deep-learning models for debris-covered glacier mapping

Applied Computing and Geosciences, 2021
In recent decades, mountain glaciers have experienced the impact of climate change in the form of accelerated glacier retreat and other glacier-related hazards such as mass wasting and glacier lake outburst floods.

Simultaneous drainage events from supraglacial lakes on the southern Inylchek Glacier, Central Asia

Journal of Glaciology, 2022
To understand the mechanism of simultaneous drainage event related to supraglacial lakes on a debris-covered glacier, we investigated water-level variations of supraglacial lakes on the southern Inylchek Glacier in Kyrgyzstan. To examine these variations,
