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

, 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.

An imbalancing act: the delayed dynamic response of the Kaskawulsh Glacier to sustained mass loss

Journal of Glaciology, 2021
The Kaskawulsh Glacier is an iconic outlet draining the icefields of the St. Elias Mountains in Yukon, Canada. We determine and attempt to interpret its catchment-wide mass budget since 2007. Using SPOT5/6/7 data we estimate a 2007–18 geodetic balance of

Revisiting glacier mass-balance sensitivity to surface air temperature using a data-driven regionalization

Journal of Glaciology, 2022
This study involves examination of glaciological mass-balance time series, glacier and climatic descriptors, the application of machine learning methods for glaciological clustering, and computation of mass-balance time series based upon the clustering ...

Reconstruction of Annual Glacier Mass Balance from Remote Sensing-Derived Average Glacier-Wide Albedo

Remote Sensing, 2022
Annual mass balance is an important reflection of glacier status that is also very sensitive to climate fluctuations. However, there is no effective and universal albedo-based method for the reconstruction of annual mass balance due to the scarcity of ...

Mass Balance of “Vesper” Glacier, Washington, U.S.A. [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology, 1981
AbstractDuring 1974–75 glaciologic and geologic studies were conducted on a small (0.17 km2) avalanche-nourished glacier in the North Cascade Range of Washington. The approximate equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) for this ice body, informally called “Vesper” glacier, lies at 1475 m, some 300 m below the regional ELA value.

Glaciological Mass balance of Znosko Glacier, King George Island

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2023
The present article objective is to determine the net mass balance of the glacier Znosko for periods 2018-2019 and 2019-2020. It is situated on King George Island which belongs to the groups Shetland of the South, Antarctic Peninsula region. For this objective, during February 2018 a net of 19 stakes (which were controlled once during February 2019 and

What do We Know the Snow Darkening Effect Over Himalayan Glaciers? [PDF]

, 2011
The atmospheric absorbing aerosols such as dust, black carbon (BC), organic carbon (OC) are now well known warming factors in the atmosphere. However, when these aerosols deposit onto the snow surface, it causes darkening of snow and thereby absorbing ...

Greenland surface mass-balance observations from the ice-sheet ablation area and local glaciers [PDF]

, 2016
Glacier surface mass-balance measurements on Greenland started more than a century ago, but no compilation exists of the observations from the ablation area of the ice sheet and local glaciers.

Glacier Mass Balance Based on Two Digital Elevation Models and Ground Observation Records for the Baishui River Glacier No. 1 in Yulong Snow Mountain, Southeastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Glacier mass balance is a key idea in understanding the relationship between glaciers and climate. In this study, Landsat images, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, and Advance Land Operation Satellite digital elevation models, and ground observation ...
