Estimation of glacier ice storage in western China constrained by field ground-penetrating Radar surveys

open access: yesAdvances in Climate Change Research, 2022
Recent decades have witnessed the accelerated retreat of alpine glaciers, which likely portends a decline in the glacial ice melt on which large downstream populations rely for freshwater. Thus, estimating water storage in alpine glaciers is critical for

Canada and the World Glacier Inventory [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 2009
AbstractThis paper reviews the origins of the World Glacier Inventory program and Canada’s participation. It tracks the program of the Canadian federal government from its initiation to its demise. Today, progress is geared towards the international GLIMS and GlobGlacier programs, to which scientists from several Canadian universities are making ...

Debris cover and surface melt at a temperate maritime alpine glacier: Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Melt rates on glaciers are strongly influenced by the presence of supraglacial debris, which can either enhance or reduce ablation relative to bare ice.

RECENT CHANGE OF GLACIERS OF THE NORTHEASTERN ASIA AND PROJECTION FOR THE FUTURE

open access: yesGeography, Environment, Sustainability, 2011
Paper presents the results of comparative analysis of the satellite images data about the glacier state in glacier systems of Byrranga, Suntar-Khayata, and Chersky ranges (2003) with the data given in the Glacier Inventory of the USSR (1945, 1967 and ...

Spatiotemporal characteristics of glacier area and length changes in Xizang, China, from 2000 to 2022

open access: yesInternational Journal of Digital Earth
Understanding glacier changes is critical for assessing climate impacts, water security, and regional sustainability. Using a visual interpretation method based on Landsat TM/ETM+/OLI imagery, we revised the Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) V7.0 dataset ...

Sustained retreat of the Pine Island Glacier [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We use satellite observations to show that, between 1992 and 2011, the Pine Island Glacier hinge line retreated at a rate of 0.95 ± 0.09 km yr−1 despite a progressive steepening and shoaling of the glacier surface and bedrock slopes, respectively, which ...

Influence of subglacial drainage system evolution on glacier surface motion: Haut Glacier d'Arolla, Switzerland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The relationship between the evolution of subglacial drainage system morphology and spatial patterns of glacier surface velocity was investigated using dye tracing experiments and ground surveying throughout the 1995 melt season at Haut Glacier d'Arolla,
