What Can We Learn from Comparing Glacio-Hydrological Models?
Atmosphere, 2020 Glacio-hydrological models combine both glacier and catchment hydrology modeling and are used to assess the hydrological response of high-mountain glacierized catchments to climate change. To capture the uncertainties from these model combinations, it is

Analysis of the Image of Global Glacier Tourism Destinations from the Perspective of Tourists
Land, 2022 Glaciers are attracting increasing attention in the context of climate change, and glacier tourism has also become a popular tourist product. However, few studies have been conducted concerning the image of glacier tourism destinations.

A new global dataset of mountain glacier centerlines and lengths [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2022 The length of a glacier is a key determinant of its geometry and is an important parameter in glacier inventories and modeling; glacier centerlines are the lines along which the main flow of glaciers takes place and, thus, are crucial inputs for many ...

A unified model for transient subglacial water pressure and basal sliding
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 Changes in water pressure at the beds of glaciers greatly modify their sliding rate, affecting rates of ice mass loss and sea level change. However, there is still no agreement about the physics of subglacial sliding or how water affects it.

Modeling Ablation on Place Glacier, British Columbia, from Glacier and Off-glacier Data Sets [PDF]
Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2009 Abstract The results of two simulations of hourly ablation, from late July to September 2002, at a site on the Place Glacier are described. First, ablation is modeled from a data set collected at the glacier site; second, from a data set collected off-glacier at a site below the glacier tongue.

Sub-kilometer Precipitation Datasets for Snowpack and Glacier Modeling in Alpine Terrain
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019 apturing the spatial and temporal variability of precipitation at fine scale is necessary for high-resolution modeling of snowpack and glacier mass balance in alpine terrain.

Annals of Glaciology, 2016 Neighboring tidewater glaciers often exhibit asynchronous dynamic behavior, despite relatively uniform regional atmospheric and oceanic forcings. This variability may be controlled by a combination of local factors, including glacier and fjord geometry ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Supraglacial debris affects glacier mass balance as a thin layer enhances surface melting, while a thick layer reduces it. While many glaciers are debris‐covered, global glacier models do not account for debris because its thickness is unknown.

Ocean forcing drives glacier retreat in Greenland
Science Advances, 2021 Many Greenland glaciers have been attacked by the ocean from below and, in turn, contributed to sea-level rise from the ice sheet. The retreat and acceleration of Greenland glaciers since the mid-1990s have been attributed to the enhanced intrusion of ...

Journal of Hydrology, 2019 Himalayan headwater rivers are sourced from glacier meltwater and from Indian summer monsoon (ISM) precipitation, both of which are strongly influenced by ongoing and future climate change.
