Monitoring spatial and temporal variations of surface albedo on Saint Sorlin Glacier (French Alps) using terrestrial photography [PDF]
, 2011 Accurate knowledge of temperate glacier mass balance is essential to understand the relationship between glacier and climate. Defined as the reflected fraction of incident radiation over the whole solar spectrum, the surface broadband albedo is one of

The Mass balance modelling of Spitzbergen glaciers [PDF]
Polar Research, 2018 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.

Journal of Glaciology, 2019 We conducted a mass-balance study of debris-free Trambau Glacier in the Rolwaling region, Nepal Himalaya, which is accessible to 6000 m a.s.l., to better understand mass-balance processes and the effect of precipitation on these processes on high ...

Favorable climatic regime for maintaining the present-day geometry of the Gregoriev Glacier, Inner Tien Shan [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2011 We conducted 2 yr (2005–2007) of in situ meteorological and glaciological observations on the Gregoriev Glacier, a flat-top glacier within the Inner Tien Shan, Kyrgyzstan. Relative carrier-phase GPS surveys reveal a vertical lowering at the summit of the

Mass-balance model parameter transferability on a tropical glacier [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2013 AbstractWe explore the small-scale spatial and temporal transferability of model parameters between two points in the ablation zone of tropical Glaciar Shallap, Cordillera Blanca, Peru (9°S, −77° W; ∼4800 m a.s.l.) in order to provide a robust assessment of the performance of a process-based glacier mass-balance model. Relative surface height change is

Mass balance evolution of Martial Este Glacier, Tierra del Fuego (Argentina) for the period 1960–2099 [PDF]
, 2009 The Martial Este Glacier in southern Tierra del Fuego was studied in order to estimate the surface mass balance from 1960 until 2099. For this reason a degree-day model was calibrated.

First in situ record of decadal glacier mass balance (2003–2014) from the Bhutan Himalaya
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 This study presents the first decadal mass-balance record of a small debris-free glacier in the Bhutan Himalaya, where few in situ measurements have been reported to date. Since 2003 we have measured the mass balance of Gangju La glacier, which covers an

Glaciers as Indicators of Climatic Change - Background and Tools for Modelling [PDF]
, 1993 Glaciers may be used as indicators of climatic change. This paper presents data from six glaciers with records of glacier length greater than 200 years. All show a strong retreat since 1850.

A fifty year record of winter glacier melt events in southern Chile, 38°–42°S [PDF]
, 2012 Little is known about the frequency and potential mass balance impact of winter glacier melt events. In this study, daily atmospheric temperature soundings from the Puerto Montt radiosonde (41.43°S) are used to reconstruct winter melting events at the ...
