Glacier classification from Sentinel-2 imagery using spatial-spectral attention convolutional model
International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021 Glaciers are critical components of the cryosphere and most sources of water. The Sentinel-2 imagery provides an efficient and cost-effective way for the production of inventories of glaciers.

Subglacial drainage processes at a High Arctic polythermal valley glacier [PDF]
, 2005 Dye-tracer experiments undertaken over two summer melt seasons at polythermal John Evans Glacier, Ellesmere Island, Canada, were designed to investigate the character of the subglacial drainage system and its evolution over a melt season. In both summers,

Large-Scale Debris Cover Glacier Mapping Using Multisource Object-Based Image Analysis Approach
Remote Sensing, 2022 Large-scale debris cover glacier mapping can be efficiently conducted from high spatial resolution (HSR) remote sensing imagery using object-based image analysis (OBIA), which works on a group of pixels.

Multi-sensor remote sensing to map glacier debris cover in the Greater Caucasus, Georgia
Journal of Glaciology, 2021 Global warming is causing glaciers in the Caucasus Mountains and around the world to lose mass at an accelerated pace. As a result of this rapid retreat, significant parts of the glacierized surface area can be covered with debris deposits, often making ...

Remotely sensed debris thickness mapping of Bara Shigri Glacier, Indian Himalaya [PDF]
, 2015 Despite the important role of supraglacial debris in ablation, knowledge of debris thickness on Himalayan glaciers is sparse. A recently developed method based on reanalysis data and thermal band satellite imagery has proved to be potentially suitable ...

Which glaciers are the largest in the world?
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Glacier monitoring has been internationally coordinated for more than 125 years. Despite this long history, there is no authoritative answer to the popular question: ‘Which glaciers are the largest in the world?’ Here, we present the first systematic ...

An energy-balance model for debris-covered glaciers including heat conduction through the debris layer [PDF]
, 2010 Extensive covers of supraglacial debris are often present in glacier ablation areas, and it is essential to assess exactly how the debris affects glacier melt rates.
