New inventory of glaciers in Tajikistan from 3 m PlanetScope imagery (2024): the Tajikistan Glacier Inventory (TGI) [PDF]
Glaciers in Tajikistan serve as a crucial water source in Central Asia. However, existing glacier data products suffer from several limitations, including outdated temporal coverage, coarse spatial resolution, and inadequate mapping of debris-covered ...

Regional Glacier Mapping Using Optical Satellite Data Time Series
The first of two Sentinel-2 satellites, launched mid2015, has similar characteristics as the Landsat TM/ETM + /OLI satellites. Together, these satellites will produce a tremendous quantity of optical images worldwide for glacier mapping, with increasing ...

GlacierNet: A Deep-Learning Approach for Debris-Covered Glacier Mapping
Rising global temperatures over the past decades is directly affecting glacier dynamics. To understand glacier fluctuations and document regional glacier-state trends, glacier-boundary detection is necessary. Debris-covered glacier (DCG) mapping, however,

Debris-covered glacier identification in the Karakoram aided by thermal remote sensing [PDF]
Summary: Glacier changes in the Karakoram Mountain (KM) region were analyzed using Landsat images from 2000 to 2021. Clean ice boundaries were mapped using supervised classification, while debris-covered ice was identified by integrating surface ...

Updating glacier inventories on the periphery of Antarctica and Greenland using multi-source data
Melting and calving of glaciers and ice caps in Antarctica and Greenland could potentially contribute significantly to global sea level rise. Updates to existing outlines that provide critical glacier baseline information in both regions could help in ...
