Changing snow cover and the net mass balance of Storglaciaren, northern Sweden [PDF]
, 2008 The spatial and temporal variability of seasonal snow cover in glacierized catchments has important implications for the net mass balance of alpine glaciers.

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 ...

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

A distributed energy-balance melt model of an alpine debris-covered glacier [PDF]
, 2014 Distributed energy-balance melt models have rarely been applied to glaciers with extensive supraglacial debris cover. This paper describes the development of a distributed melt model and its application to the debris-covered Miage glacier, western ...

Reanalysing glacier mass balance measurement series [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2013 Glacier-wide mass balance has been measured for more than sixty years and is widely used as an indicator of climate change and to assess the glacier contribution to runoff and sea level rise.

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.

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.

More than a century of direct glacier mass-balance observations on Claridenfirn, Switzerland
Journal of Glaciology, 2021 Glacier mass-balance observations at seasonal resolution have been performed since 1914 at two sites on Claridenfirn, Switzerland. The measurements are the longest uninterrupted records of glacier mass balance worldwide.
