Reconciling Svalbard Glacier Mass Balance [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 Since the first estimates of Svalbard-wide glacier mass balance were made in the early 2000s, there has been great progress in remote sensing and modeling of mass balance, existing field records have been extended, field records at new locations have ...

Hot Spots of Glacier Mass Balance Variability in Central Asia. [PDF]
Geophys Res Lett, 2021 AbstractThe Tien Shan and Pamir mountains host over 28,000 glaciers providing essential water resources for increasing water demand in Central Asia. A disequilibrium between glaciers and climate affects meltwater release to Central Asian rivers, challenging the region's water availability. Previous research has neglected temporal variability.

Atmosphere Driven Mass-Balance Sensitivity of Halji Glacier, Himalayas
Atmosphere, 2021 The COupled Snowpack and Ice surface energy and mass balance model in PYthon (COSIPY) was employed to investigate the relationship between the variability and sensitivity of the mass balance record of the Halji glacier, in the Himalayas, north-western ...

The Energy and Mass Balance of Peruvian Glaciers [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2021 AbstractPeruvian glaciers are important contributors to dry season runoff for agriculture and hydropower, but they are at risk of disappearing due to climate change. We applied a physically based, energy balance melt model at five on‐glacier sites within the Peruvian Cordilleras Blanca and Vilcanota. Net shortwave radiation dominates the energy balance,

Monitoring the annual geodetic mass balance of Bordu and Sary-Tor glaciers using UAV data
Annals of Glaciology, 2023 The geodetic mass balance of a glacier corresponds to glacier-wide volume changes, converted to mass changes using density assumptions. It is typically calculated by differencing multi-temporal digital elevation models.

Glacier mass-balance and discharge modeling
, 2014 Glaciers are among the most frequently used natural phenomena to illustrate ongoing global warming. Retreating glacier tongues and the reduction of glacierized areas are visible all over the world. Changes in glacier volume affect both the river runoff regime downstream and sea level.
