South Cascade Glacier mass balance, 1935–2006 [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2009 AbstractA simple model uses daily observations of precipitation and temperature at a nearby weather station to estimate glacier-average seasonal mass-balance components at South Cascade Glacier, Washington, USA, from 1935, 24 years before measurements began at the glacier.

Mass balance re-analysis of Findelengletscher, Switzerland; benefits of extensive snow accumulation measurements [PDF]
, 2016 A re-analysis is presented here of a 10 year mass balance series at Findelengletscher, a temperate mountain glacier in Switzerland. Calculating glacier-wide mass balance from the set of glaciological point balance observations using conventional ...

Surface melt dominates Alaska glacier mass balance
Geophysical Research Letters, 2015 AbstractMountain glaciers comprise a small and widely distributed fraction of the world's terrestrial ice, yet their rapid losses presently drive a large percentage of the cryosphere's contribution to sea level rise. Regional mass balance assessments are challenging over large glacier populations due to remote and rugged geography, variable response of

Mass-balance reconstruction for Glacier No. 354, Tien Shan, from 2003 to 2014 [PDF]
, 2016 This study presents a reconstruction of the seasonal mass balance of Glacier No. 354, located in the Akshiirak range, Kyrgyzstan, from 2003 to 2014. We use a distributed accumulation and temperature-index melt model driven by daily air temperature and

A minimal machine learning glacier mass balance model
The CryosphereAbstract. Glacier retreat presents significant environmental and social challenges. Understanding the local impacts of climatic drivers on glacier evolution is crucial, with mass balance being a central concept. This study introduces miniML-MB, a new minimal machine learning model designed to estimate annual point surface mass balance (PMB) for very ...

The impact of Saharan dust and black carbon on albedo and long-term mass balance of an Alpine glacier [PDF]
, 2016 Light-absorbing impurities in snow and ice control glacier melt as shortwave radiation represents the main component of the surface energy balance. Here, we investigate the long-term effect of snow impurities, i.e., mineral dust and black carbon (BC), on

Runoff modelling in glacierized Central Asian catchments for present-day and future climate [PDF]
, 2006 A conceptual precipitation–runoff model was applied in five glacierized catchments in Central Asia. The model, which was first developed and applied in the Alps, works on a daily time step and yields good results in the more continental climate of the ...

Application of terrestrial‚ 'structure-from-motion' photogrammetry on a medium-size Arctic valley glacier: potential, accuracy and limitations [PDF]
, 2014 Terrestrial photogrammetry was the standard method for mapping high mountain terrain in the early days of mountain cartography, until it was replaced by aerial photogrammetry and airborne laser scanning.
