Spatio-Temporal Distribution of Supra-Glacial Ponds and Ice Cliffs on Verde Glacier, Chile

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Known for their important role in locally enhancing surface melt, supraglacial ponds and ice cliffs are common features on debris-covered glaciers. We use high resolution satellite imagery to describe pond-cliff systems and surface velocity on Verde ...

Interannual and Seasonal Variability of Glacier Surface Velocity in the Parlung Zangbo Basin, Tibetan Plateau

Remote Sensing, 2020
Monitoring glacier flow is vital to understand the response of mountain glaciers to environmental forcing in the context of global climate change. Seasonal and interannual variability of surface velocity in the temperate glaciers of the Parlung Zangbo ...

Dynamic Monitoring of Debris-Covered Glacier Surface Velocity and Ice Thickness of Mt.Tomur, Tian Shan, China

Remote Sensing, 2022
The Mt.Tomur glaciers, in the Tian Shan mountains of Western China, are usually debris-covered, and due to climate change, glacial hazards are becoming more frequent in this region.

Estimation of glacier dynamics of the major glaciers of Bhutan using geospatial techniques

Journal of Water and Climate Change, 2023
The purpose of this study was to determine the glacier displacement, velocity, and thickness of seven major glaciers of Bhutan and predicted potential glacier lake formation site with its depth.

Surface lowering of the debris-covered area of Kanchenjunga Glacier in the eastern Nepal Himalaya since 1975, as revealed by Hexagon KH-9 and ALOS satellite observations [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2017
This study presents the geodetic mass balance of Kanchenjunga Glacier, one of the largest debris-covered glaciers in the easternmost Nepal Himalaya, which possesses a negative mass balance of −0.18 ± 0.17 m w.e.

STEREO-PHOTOGRAMMETRIC MEASUREMENT OF SPATIO-TEMPORAL VELOCITY FIELDS AT LANGE GLACIER, KING GEORGE ISLAND [PDF]

ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2020
A network consisting of six cameras was set up on both sides of Lange Glacier on King George Island, Antarctica, for a period of two years to monitor changes in the glacier’s motion behaviour.

Diurnal fluctuations of glacier surface velocity observed with terrestrial radar interferometry at Laohugou No. 12 Glacier, western Qilian mountains, China

Journal of Glaciology, 2019
Measurements of short-interval variations in glacier surface velocity, which contribute to our understanding of ice motion mechanisms, remain scarce on the Tibetan Plateau.

Seasonal ice dynamics in the lower ablation zone of Dagongba Glacier, southeastern Tibetan Plateau, from multitemporal UAV images

Journal of Glaciology, 2022
Most glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau have experienced continuous mass losses in response to global warming. However, the seasonal dynamics of glaciers on the southeastern Tibetan Plateau have rarely been reported in terms of glacier surface elevation and

Land- to lake-terminating transition triggers dynamic thinning of a Bhutanese glacier [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2022
There have been rapid increases in both the number and expansion of the proglacial lakes across High Mountain Asia. However, the relationship between proglacial lakes and glacier dynamics remains unclear in the Himalayan region.

Glacier retreat, dynamics and bed overdeepenings of Parkachik Glacier, Ladakh Himalaya, India

Annals of Glaciology, 2023
This study describes the morphological and dynamic changes of Parkachik Glacier, Suru River valley, Ladakh Himalaya, India. We used medium-resolution satellite images; CORONA KH-4, Landsat and Sentinel-2A from 1971–2021, and field surveys between 2015 ...
