Air temperature distribution and energy balance modelling of a debris-covered glacier [PDF]

, 2016
Near-surface air temperature is an important determinant of the surface energy balance of glaciers that is often represented by constant linear temperature gradients in models.

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 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).

A distributed energy-balance melt model of an alpine debris-covered glacier [PDF]

, 2014
Distributed energy-balance melt models have rarely been applied to glaciers with extensive supraglacial debris cover. This paper describes the development of a distributed melt model and its application to the debris-covered Miage glacier, western ...

Geomorphic Process Chains in High‐Mountain Regions—A Review and Classification Approach for Natural Hazards Assessment

Reviews of Geophysics, 2023
Populations and infrastructure in high mountain regions are exposed to a wide range of natural hazards, the frequency, magnitude, and location of which are extremely sensitive to climate change.

Representing moisture fluxes and phase changes in glacier debris cover using a reservoir approach [PDF]

, 2014
Due to the complexity of treating moisture in supraglacial debris, surface energy balance models to date have neglected moisture infiltration and phase changes in the debris layer.

Upcycling Keratin‐Based Textile Waste Into High‐Performance Hybrid Fibers Via Tuning the Interfacial Interactions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Keratin recovered from animal‐hair textile waste is fractionated and blended with cellulose to produce continuously spun hybrid fibers. Selecting the high‐molecular‐weight keratin fraction enables 30 wt.% keratin incorporation while maintaining high strength in dry and wet states.

A Systematic Retrospection and Reflections on Main Glacial Hazards of the Tibetan Plateau

Remote Sensing
Glacial hazards pose significant threats to millions globally, especially with rapid climate warming drawing increased attention. Understanding past glacial hazards on both global and regional scales is crucial for early warning systems.
