Proceedings of the Indian National Science Academy, 2017 Polar ice is an important component of the natural system, affecting global climate on large as well as small scale. The Antarctic ice sheet has undergone significant changes in the past and governed the earth’s climatic system. This ice sheet appears to have been very dynamic and yet, not much is known about the processes involved for this dynamism ...

A comparison of glacier melt on debris-covered glaciers in the northern and southern Caucasus [PDF]
, 2011 The glacier coverage in the Caucasus Mountains underwent considerable changes during the last decades. In some regions, the observed reduction in glacier area is comparable to those in the European Alps and the extent of supra-glacial debris increased on

Glacier monitoring by satellite
Il Nuovo Cimento C, 1983 A multitemporal analysis on the Mount Disgrazia glaciers was performed by using the 1975, 1978 and 1980 MSS Landsat images. On these images the glaciers were completely described in their boundaries and surface features. Fixed structures were used along their boundaries as fiducial points of the ground control table for the multitemporal comparison of ...

Glaciers as an Important Element of the World Glacier Monitoring Implemented in Svalbard
, 2017 Glaciers are not only contributors to the sea level rise but also important players in the circulation of pollutants. Over a billion people apply glacial waters for domestic purposes; hence, both the quality and quantity of this water should be monitored.

Which glaciers are the largest in the world?
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Glacier monitoring has been internationally coordinated for more than 125 years. Despite this long history, there is no authoritative answer to the popular question: ‘Which glaciers are the largest in the world?’ Here, we present the first systematic ...

Influence of subglacial drainage system evolution on glacier surface motion: Haut Glacier d'Arolla, Switzerland [PDF]
, 2002 The relationship between the evolution of subglacial drainage system morphology and spatial patterns of glacier surface velocity was investigated using dye tracing experiments and ground surveying throughout the 1995 melt season at Haut Glacier d'Arolla,
