The Impact of Climate Change upon the Snowmelt Hydrology of an Upland UK Catchment [PDF]
, 2011 Snowmelt hydrology is important in the winter flow regime of upland catchments in the UK as it can attenuate the extremes of the river flow hydrograph.

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.

A double continuum hydrological model for glacier applications [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 The flow of glaciers and ice streams is strongly influenced by the presence of water at the interface between ice and bed. In this paper, a hydrological model evaluating the subglacial water pressure is developed with the final aim of ...

Tropical climate and glacier hydrology: a case study in Bolivia
Journal of Hydrology, 1995 Runoff from intertropical glaciers is highly variable, indicating that they are greatly affected by climatic changes peculiar to tropical climates. The 3 km2 basin presented in this case study lies in the Cordillera Real of Bolivia and is 77% covered by glacier ice, ranging in elevation from 6000 to 4830 m a.s.l.

A multicomponent coupled model of glacier hydrology
, 2000 Multiple lines of evidence suggest a causal link between subglacial hydrology and phenomena such as fast-flowing ice. This evidence includes a measured correlation between water under alpine glaciers and their motion, the presence of saturated sediment ...

Downwasting and supraglacial lake evolution on the debris-covered Ngozumpa Glacier, Khumbu Himal, Nepal [PDF]
, 2015 In recent decades, the downwasting of several debris-covered glaciers in the Himalaya has led to the formation of large and potentially hazardous moraine- dammed lakes.

Hydrology: Asian glaciers are a reliable water source
, 2017 The people, economies and agriculture of central Asia and parts of south Asia rely on water from mountains. Modelling suggests that glacier melt, in particular, is a key water source during dry periods in some of these regions.

Runoff modelling in glacierized Central Asian catchments for present-day and future climate [PDF]
, 2006 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 ...

Modelling glacier hydrology in West Greenland
Rapport Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse, 1981 There is great interest in the possibility of using runoff in West Greenland for the generation of hydroelectric power. However, there is still very little information about hydrological conditions in the country. For example, measurements of runoff and glacier mass balance were only started at a few sites in the late 1970s by the GTO and GGU ...
