Decay of a long-term monitored glacier: Careser Glacier (Ortles-Cevedale, European Alps) [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2013 Abstract. The continuation of valuable, long-term glacier observation series is threatened by the accelerated mass loss which currently affects a large portion of so-called "benchmark" glaciers. In this work we present the evolution of the Careser Glacier, from the beginning of systematic observation at the end of the 19th century to its current ...

Monitoring Glacier Outburst Floods [PDF]
Hydrology Research, 1980 A review is given of the phenomenon of glacier outburst floods. Geographical distribution, modes of occurrence of glacier-dammed lakes and modes of lake-emptying are discussed. Techniques of monitoring the filling and emptying of glacier-dammed lakes are evaluated and procedures for forecasting the magnitude and frequency of floods are analyzed.
