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 ...

Recent glacier decline in the Kerguelen Islands (49°S, 69°E) derived from modeling, field observations, and satellite data [PDF]

, 2015
Date of Acceptance: 28/02/2015The retreat of glaciers in the Kerguelen Islands (49°S, 69°E) and their associated climatic causes have been analyzed using field data and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite images to validate a ...

Air temperature distribution and energy balance modelling of a debris-covered glacier [PDF]

, 2016
Near-surface air temperature is an important determinant of the surface energy balance of glaciers that is often represented by constant linear temperature gradients in models.

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 ...

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

Assessing the Use of Optical Satellite Images to Detect Volcanic Impacts on Glacier Surface Morphology

Remote Sensing, 2021
Globally, about 250 Holocene volcanoes are either glacier-clad or have glaciers in close proximity. Interactions between volcanoes and glaciers are therefore common, and some of the most deadly (e.g., Nevado del Ruiz, 1985) and most costly (e.g ...

Global glacier changes

, 2008
Changes in glaciers and ice caps provide some of the clearest evidence of climate change, and as such they constitute key variables for early detection strategies in global climate-related observations.
