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 ...

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

Austrian glacier inventory 1998 [PDF]
, 2013 The Austrian glacier inventory 1998 (GI II) is based on arial photographs taken between 1996 and 2002. 73% of the glacier area was covered in 1997 and 1998.

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.

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 ...

A comparison of glacier melt on debris-covered glaciers in the northern and southern Caucasus [PDF]
, 2011 The glacier coverage in the Caucasus Mountains underwent considerable changes during the last decades. In some regions, the observed reduction in glacier area is comparable to those in the European Alps and the extent of supra-glacial debris increased on

Assessment of glacier water resources based on the Glacier Inventory of China [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2009 AbstractAccording to the division into subareas of water-resource distribution in China, and based on the Glacier Inventory of China (GIC), China’s total glacier water storage is 5040.2 x 109m3, 33.0% of which is distributed in the southwest drainage basins and 64.1% in the northwest inland drainage basins, forming enormous solid reservoirs with ...
