Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Despite their importance for regional water resource planning and as indicators of climate change, records of in situ glacier mass balance remain short and spatially sparse in the Himalaya.

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

Common climatic signal from glaciers in the European Alps over the last 50 years [PDF]
, 2017 Conventional glacier-wide mass balances are commonly used to study the effect of climate forcing on glacier melt. Unfortunately, the glacier-wide mass balances are also influenced by the glacier's dynamic response.

Melt regimes, internal stratigraphy, and flow dynamics of three glaciers in the Alaska Range [PDF]
, 2012 We used ground-penetrating radar (GPR), GPS and glaciochemistry to evaluate melt regimes and ice depths, important variables for mass-balance and ice-volume studies, of Upper Yentna Glacier, Upper Kahiltna Glacier and the Mount Hunter ice divide, Alaska.

Can shrubs help to reconstruct historical glacier retreats?
Environmental Research Letters, 2012 In the 21st century, most of the world’s glaciers are expected to retreat due to further global warming. The range of this predicted retreat varies widely as a result of uncertainties in climate and glacier models.

Modeling the impacts of climate trends and lake formation on the retreat of a tropical Andean glacier (1962–2020) [PDF]
The CryosphereLocated in Peru's Cordillera Blanca, the Queshque Glacier (∼9.8° S) has experienced nearly continuous retreat since the mid-20th century. More recently, this trend has accelerated after the glacier transitioned from land to lake terminating.

What is the global glacier ice volume outside the ice sheets?
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 A recent study (Millan and others, 2022a, Nature Geoscience 15(2), 124–129) claims that ice volume contained in all glaciers outside the ice sheets and its potential contribution to sea level is 20% less than previously estimated.
