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.

A more complete version of the World Glacier Inventory [PDF]

Annals of Glaciology, 2009
AbstractThe World Glacier Inventory (WGI) was conceived half a century ago as an activity to be completed during the International Geophysical Year, 1957/58. It consisted until very recently of nearly 70 000 glacier records covering slightly less than one-quarter of the glacier ice outside the ice sheets. A complete WGI must be a compromise if it is to

Vanished glaciers of the Swiss Alps: An inventory-based assessment from 1973 to 2016

Annals of Glaciology
This study presents the first nationwide assessment of vanished glaciers in Switzerland. By comparing the Swiss Glacier Inventories SGI1973 and SGI2016, we identify 1019 vanished glaciers, representing more than 40% of all glaciers inventoried in 1973 ...

Current status and recent changes of glaciers in Tajikistan

Regional Sustainability
Tajikistan contains the majority of Central Asia’s glaciers, which cover about 6.00% of the national territory; their rapid shrinkage poses a significant threat to regional water resource security.

Periglacial Environments as Failed Objects of Governance in Argentina’s National Glacier Inventory

Latin American Research Review
What happens when scientists, dedicated to basic scientific research, are called forth to participate in politically fraught scenarios? We explore this question through a qualitative study of the intimate experiences of scientists who developed the first

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).

The new Italian Glacier inventory: a didactic tool for a better knowledge of the natural Alpine environment

, 2015
A glacier inventory is an important instrument to better know the Alpine glacierized environment. After the glacier inventory realized by the Comitato Glaciologico Italiano (CGI, 1959-1962), only regional and local glacier inventories have been developed.
