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.

Glacier change in Norway since the 1960s – an overview of mass balance, area, length and surface elevation changes

Journal of Glaciology, 2020
In this paper, we give an overview of changes in area, length, surface elevation and mass balance of glaciers in mainland Norway since the 1960s. Frontal advances have been recorded in all regions except the northernmost glaciers in Troms and Finnmark ...

Modeling the impacts of climate trends and lake formation on the retreat of a tropical Andean glacier (1962–2020) [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Located 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.

Regional Geography of Glacier Mass Balance Variability Over Seven Decades 1946–2015

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Despite much progress with remote sensing, on-site measurements of glacier mass balance (with stakes and snow pits) still have advantages for resolution of interannual and seasonal changes of mass balance. Understanding these changes may help to identify

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.

Temporal downscaling of glaciological mass balance using seasonal observations

Journal of Glaciology, 2023
Glaciological mass-balance measurements have been the backbone of internationally coordinated glacier monitoring. The resulting annual observations have been used to understand glacier reactions to climate change, and to assess both regional and global ...

Multiproxy tree ring reconstruction of glacier mass balance: insights from Pinus cembra trees growing near Silvretta Glacier (Swiss Alps) [PDF]

Climate of the Past
Glacier 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.

Glacier Mass Balance in the Nyainqentanglha Mountains between 2000 and 2017 Retrieved from ZiYuan-3 Stereo Images and the SRTM DEM

Remote Sensing, 2020
Mountain glaciers are excellent indicators of climate change and have an important role in the terrestrial water cycle and food security in many parts of the world. Glaciers are the major water source of rivers and lakes in the Nyainqentanglha Mountains (
