Reconstructing the mass balance of Brewster Glacier, New Zealand, using MODIS-derived glacier-wide albedo [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 In New Zealand, direct measurements of mass balance are sparse due to the inaccessibility of glaciers in the Southern Alps and the logistical difficulties associated with maintaining a mass balance record.

A Bibliometric and Visualized Analysis of Remote Sensing Methods for Glacier Mass Balance Research
Remote Sensing, 2023 In recent decades, climate change has led to global warming, glacier melting, glacial lake outbursts, sea level rising, and more extreme weather, and has seriously affected human life.

How to handle glacier area change in geodetic mass balance
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Innovations in geodesy enable widespread analysis of glacier surface elevation change and geodetic mass balance. However, coincident glacier area data are less widely available, causing inconsistent handling of glacier area change.

Explaining mass balance and retreat dichotomies at Taku and Lemon Creek Glaciers, Alaska
Journal of Glaciology, 2020 We reanalyzed mass balance records at Taku and Lemon Creek Glaciers to better understand the relative roles of hypsometry, local climate and dynamics as mass balance drivers. Over the 1946–2018 period, the cumulative mass balances diverged.

The climatic mass balance of Svalbard glaciers: a 10-year simulation with a coupled atmosphere–glacier mass balance model [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 Abstract. In this study we simulate the climatic mass balance of Svalbard glaciers with a coupled atmosphere–glacier model with 3 km grid spacing, from September 2003 to September 2013. We find a mean specific net mass balance of −257 mm w.e. yr−1, corresponding to a mean annual mass loss of about 8.7 Gt, with large interannual variability. Our results

Mass-balance parameters derived from a synthetic network of mass-balance glaciers [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2012 AbstractGlacier mass-balance parameters such as the equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) play an important role when working with large glacier samples. While the number of observational mass-balance series to derive such parameters is limited, more and more modeled data are becoming available.Here we explore the possibilities of analyzing such 'synthetic ...

Glacier mass‐balance standards
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1991 Deep‐sea cores and ice cores from the late Cenozoic show that the Earth's climate changes significantly. Glacier fluctuations are but one indication of this change. Glaciers are both an active component of the environmental system, regulating mountain streamflow, and a passive one, responding to climatic change.

Mass-Balance Studies of Gara Glacier [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1977 AbstractThe Gara Glacier, a north-facing valley glacier situated in the western Himalaya, was selected to be part of the study undertaken by India in connection with the International Hydrological Decade. This paper deals with the procedure adopted and the results obtained for mass-balance assessment over a period of one year between September 1974 and
