Linking glacier annual mass balance and glacier albedo retrieved from MODIS data [PDF]
, 2012 Albedo is one of the variables controlling the mass balance of temperate glaciers. Multispectral imagers, such as MODerate Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board the TERRA and AQUA satellites, provide a means to monitor glacier surface albedo.

Representing glaciers in a regional climate model [PDF]
, 2018 A glacier parameterization scheme has been developed and implemented into the regional climate model REMO. The new scheme interactively simulates the mass balance as well as changes of the areal extent of glaciers on a subgrid scale.

Accelerated glacier mass loss in the mid-latitude Eurasia from 2019 to 2022 revealed by ICESat-2
Advances in Climate Change ResearchThe dynamics of glaciers serve as one of the most important indicators of climate change. Whilst current research has primarily concentrated on long-term interannual glacier mass balance and its response to climate change, glaciers may respond more ...

Accelerated glacier mass loss in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau since the 1970s
Advances in Climate Change Research, 2023 The southeastern Tibetan Plateau (SETP) is a region in High Mountain Asia with the most serious glacier mass loss. However, long-term and large regional-scale studies that estimate glacier mass balance in this area remain limited.

Repeat optical satellite images reveal widespread and long term decrease in land-terminating glacier speeds [PDF]
, 2012 By matching of repeat optical satellite images it is now possible to investigate glacier dynamics within large regions of the world and also between regions to improve knowledge about glacier dynamics in space and time.

Simulating ice thickness and velocity evolution of Upernavik Isstrom 1849-2012 by forcing prescribed terminus positions in ISSM [PDF]
, 2018 . Tidewater glacier velocity and mass balance are known to be highly responsive to terminus position change. Yet it remains challenging for ice flow models to reproduce observed ice margin changes.

Disaggregating geodetic glacier mass balance to annual scale using remote-sensing proxies
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Decadal-scale, high-resolution geodetic measurements of glacier thinning have transformed our understanding of glacier response to climate change. Annual glacier mass balance can be estimated using remote-sensing proxies like snow-line altitude.

Glaciers in Svalbard: mass balance, runoff and freshwater flux [PDF]
Polar Research, 2003 Gain or loss of the freshwater stored in Svalbard glaciers has both global implications for sea level and, on a more local scale, impacts upon the hydrology of rivers and the freshwater flux to fjords. This paper gives an overview of the potential runoff from the Svalbard glaciers. The freshwater flux from basins of different scales is quantified.
