Use of ablation-season albedo as an indicator of annual mass balance of four glaciers in the Tien Shan

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Thinning of the Monte Perdido Glacier in the Spanish Pyrenees since 1981 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Producción CientíficaThis paper analyzes the evolution of the Monte Perdido Glacier, the third largest glacier in the Pyrenees, from 1981 to the present. We assessed the evolution of the glacier's surface area by analysis of aerial photographs from 1981,

Re-analysis of seasonal mass balance at Abramov glacier 1968–2014 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Abramov glacier, located in the Pamir Alay, Kyrgyzstan, is a reference glacier within the Global Terrestrial Network for Glaciers. Long-term glaciological measurements exist from 1968 to 1998 and a mass-balance monitoring programme was re-established in ...

Glacier mass‐balance standards

open access: yesEos, 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.

Tributary Glacier Surges: An Exceptional Concentration at Panmah Glacier, Karakoram Himalaya [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Four tributaries of Panmah Glacier have surged in less than a decade, three in quick succession between 2001 and 2005. Since 1985, 13 surges have been recorded in the Karakoram Himalaya, more than in any comparable period since the 1850s.

Region-Wide Annual Glacier Surface Mass Balance for the European Alps From 2000 to 2016

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Studying glacier mass changes at regional scale provides critical insights into the impact of climate change on glacierized regions, but is impractical using in situ estimates alone due to logistical and human constraints.

A long-term mass-balance reconstruction (1974–2021) and a decadal in situ mass-balance record (2011–2021) of Rikha Samba Glacier, central Himalaya

open access: yesJournal 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.

New long-term mass-balance series for the Swiss Alps [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In this study we present 19 new or re-analysed series of glacier-wide seasonal mass balance for the Swiss Alps based on direct measurements. The records partly start around 1920 and continue until today.

The influence of changes in glacier extent and surface elevation on modeled mass balance [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.
