Glacier variations at Aru Co in western Tibet from 1971 to 2016 derived from remote-sensing data

Journal of Glaciology, 2018
Twin glaciers collapsed in 2016 near Aru Co, western Tibet and caused extreme loss to human beings. In this study, we attempted to track the dynamics of glaciers in the region, for example the glacier area and mass changes in Aru Co for the period 1971 ...

Formation of a large ice depression on Dålk Glacier (Larsemann Hills, East Antarctica) caused by the rapid drainage of an englacial cavity

Journal of Glaciology, 2021
In the afternoon of 30 January 2017, a catastrophic outburst flood occurred in the Larsemann Hills (Princess Elizabeth Land, East Antarctica). The rapid drainage of both a thin supraglacial layer of water (near Boulder Lake) and Lake Ledyanoe into the ...

Including debris cover effects in a distributed model of glacier ablation [PDF]

, 2012
Distributed glacier melt models generally assume that the glacier surface consists of bare exposed ice and snow. In reality, many glaciers are wholly or partially covered in layers of debris that tend to suppress ablation rates.

Detection of crevassed areas with minimum geometric information: Vernagtferner case study

Journal of Glaciology, 2023
Crevasses pose severe risks for mountaineers and field glaciologists. Smaller cracks between 0.5 and 2 m are still dangerous, but often not visible in medium resolution satellite imagery.

Glaciology and geomorphology of the Muchuhar-Shishper glacier complex (Hunza Basin, Western Karakoram)

Journal of Maps
The Karakoram Range is a highly dynamic glacierized region where the life of millions of people depends on meltwater from glaciers. This region is also a cluster for glacier related hazards, such Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs).

Avalanche character and fatalities in the high mountains of Asia

Annals of Glaciology, 2016
With the exception of northern India, there are few, if any, consistent data records relating to avalanche activity in the high mountains of Asia. However, records do exist of avalanche fatalities in the region, contained in mountaineering expedition ...

Subglacial drainage processes at a High Arctic polythermal valley glacier [PDF]

, 2005
Dye-tracer experiments undertaken over two summer melt seasons at polythermal John Evans Glacier, Ellesmere Island, Canada, were designed to investigate the character of the subglacial drainage system and its evolution over a melt season. In both summers,

Rapid ASTER imaging facilitates timely assessment of glacier hazards and disasters [PDF]

, 2003
Glacier- and permafrost-related hazards increasingly threaten human lives, settlements, and infrastructure in high-mountain regions. Present atmospheric warming particularly affects terrestrial systems where surface and sub-surface ice are involved ...

Rapid mass loss and disappearance of summer-accumulation type hanging glacier

Advances in Climate Change Research, 2022
Hanging glaciers hold the absolute dominant number in West China and their changes had important influences on local hydrology, sea-level rise and natural hazards (snow/ice avalanches).
