Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Glacier mass balance and its sensitivity to climate change depend to a large degree on the albedo and albedo feedback. Although recent increasing studies reconstruct the annual surface mass balance (SMB) based on the relationships between satellite ...

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
