Inventory of glaciers and perennial snowfields of the conterminous USA

Earth System Science Data, 2023
This report summarizes an updated inventory of glaciers and perennial snowfields of the conterminous United States. The inventory is based on interpretation of mostly aerial imagery provided by the National Agricultural I magery Program, US Department of Agriculture, with some satellite imagery in places where aerial imagery was ...

Estimating equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) from glacier inventory data [PDF]

, 2009
A glacier's most fundamental altitude is the equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) because it divides the glacier into ablation and accumulation areas. The best parameterization of the ELA for glacier inventory is the balanced-budget ELA.

Glacier Change and Its Influencing Factors in the Northern Part of the Kunlun Mountains

Remote Sensing, 2023
The glaciers in northwest China are mainly distributed in the northern part of the Himalayas, the Kunlun Mountains, and the Tianshan Mountains. Glaciers are an important freshwater resource in the northern part of the Kunlun Mountains, and the melting of

Climate regime of Asian glaciers revealed by GAMDAM Glacier Inventory [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2014
Abstract. Among meteorological elements, precipitation has a large spatial variability and less observation, particularly in High Mountain Asia, although precipitation in mountains is an important parameter for hydrological circulation. We estimated precipitation contributing to glacier mass at median elevation of glaciers, which is presumed to be at ...

Compiling a new glacier inventory for southeastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau from Landsat and PALSAR data

Journal of Glaciology, 2016
Glacier change has been recognized as an important climate variable due to its sensitive response to climate change. Although there are a large number of glaciers distributed over the southeastern Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, the region is poorly represented

A new glacier inventory of Iran [PDF]

Annals of Glaciology, 2009
AbstractA new glacier inventory of Iran, compiled according to GLIMS guidelines through the use of photogrammetry and remote sensing supported by fieldwork, provides the first comprehensive study of its mountain glaciers. The glaciers are found in five main areas: two in the higher elevations of the Alborz mountain range (Damavand and Takhte–Soleiman ...

Interdecadal glacier inventories in the Karakoram since the 1990s

Earth System Science Data, 2022
Abstract. Multi-temporal glacier inventories provide key information about the glaciers, their characteristics and changes and are inevitable for glacier modelling and investigating geodetic mass changes. However, to date, no consistent multi-tempo glacier inventory for the whole of the Karakoram exists, negatively affecting the monitoring of ...

On thin glacial ice: New Austrian Glacier Inventory shows accelerating glacier shrinkage and 31 % area loss within two decades [PDF]

The Cryosphere
We present the new Austrian glacier inventory, AGI5. Glacier outlines were manually digitized from high-resolution orthoimagery and digital elevation models, using older inventories as a baseline.
