Sensitivity of glacier volume change estimation to DEM void interpolation [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 . Glacier mass balance has been estimated on individual glacier and regional scales using repeat digital elevation models (DEMs). DEMs often have gaps in coverage (“voids”), the properties of which depend on the nature of the sensor used and the surface ...

Glacier volume response time and its links to climate and topography based on a conceptual model of glacier hypsometry [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2009 Glacier volume response time is a measure of the time taken for a glacier to adjust its geometry to a climate change. It has been previously proposed that the volume response time is given approximately by the ratio of glacier thickness to ablation at ...

Volume Changes of Elbrus Glaciers From 1997 to 2017 [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019 This study describes the analysis of changes in area and volume of the Mt.Elbrus glacier system, Central Caucasus from 1997 to 2017. It is based on helicopter-borne ice thickness measurements, comparison of high-resolution imagery and two digital ...

Distributed ice thickness and glacier volume in southern South America [PDF]
Global and Planetary Change, 2016 South American glaciers, including those in Patagonia, presently contribute the largest amount of meltwater to sea level rise per unit glacier area in the world. Yet understanding of the mechanisms behind the associated glacier mass balance changes remains unquantified partly because models are hindered by a lack of knowledge of subglacial topography ...

Recent observations and glacier modeling point towards near-complete glacier loss in western Austria (Ötztal and Stubai mountain range) if 1.5 °C is not met [PDF]
The CryosphereMost glaciers in Austria are expected to disappear in the coming decades. The general trend to deglaciation is apparent from observations of past glacier change as well as projections of future glacier evolution in the region.

Longbasaba Glacier recession and contribution to its proglacial lake volume between 1988 and 2018
Journal of Glaciology, 2021 During the last few decades, the lake-terminating glaciers in the Himalaya have receded faster than the land-terminating glaciers as proglacial lakes have exacerbated the mass loss of their host glaciers.

A review of volume‐area scaling of glaciers
Reviews of Geophysics, 2015 AbstractVolume‐area power law scaling, one of a set of analytical scaling techniques based on principals of dimensional analysis, has become an increasingly important and widely used method for estimating the future response of the world's glaciers and ice caps to environmental change.

Limited Contribution of Glacier Mass Loss to the Recent Increase in Tibetan Plateau Lake Volume
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 The Tibetan plateau plays an essential role in the water supply to Asia’s large river systems and, as the largest and highest mountain plateau in the world, it drives the Asian monsoon and influences global atmospheric circulation patterns.

Neural Networks Applied to Estimating Subglacial Topography and Glacier Volume [PDF]
Journal of Climate, 2009 AbstractTo predict the rate and consequences of shrinkage of the earth’s mountain glaciers and ice caps, it is necessary to have improved regional-scale models of mountain glaciation and better knowledge of the subglacial topography upon which these models must operate.
