The Mass balance modelling of Spitzbergen glaciers [PDF]
Polar Research, 1992 This thesis deals with a series of mass balance studies carried out on two glaciers in north-west Spitsbergen, Midre Lovenbreen and Austre Broggerbreen, using an energy balance model. A general description of glaciers, including their classification and the manner in which their surfaces may be sub-divided, is carried out.

Geodetic mass balance of Azarova glacier, Kodar Mountains, eastern Siberia, and its links to observed and projected climatic change [PDF]
, 2011 The Kodar Mountains in eastern Siberia accommodate 30 small, cold-based glaciers with a combined surface area of about 19 km2. Very little is known about these glaciers, with the first survey conducted in the late 1950s. In this paper, we use terrestrial

The influence of changes in glacier extent and surface elevation on modeled mass balance [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2010 Glaciers are widely recognized as unique demonstration objects for climate change impacts, mostly due to the strong change of glacier length in response to small climatic changes.

Accelerated Shrinkage of Glaciers in the Altai Mountains From 2000 to 2020
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Mountain glaciers are an important component of the global hydrological cycle. Existing research about glacier changes in the Altai focused on limited regions. Study about recent glacier changes in the entire Altai Mountains is still lacking.

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.

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.

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.

Multiproxy tree ring reconstruction of glacier mass balance: insights from Pinus cembra trees growing near Silvretta Glacier (Swiss Alps) [PDF]
Climate of the PastGlacier mass balance reconstructions provide a means of placing relatively short observational records into a longer-term context. Here, we use multiple proxies from Pinus cembra trees from God da Tamangur, combining tree ring anatomy and stable isotope ...

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.
