Debris cover and surface melt at a temperate maritime alpine glacier: Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2012 Melt rates on glaciers are strongly influenced by the presence of supraglacial debris, which can either enhance or reduce ablation relative to bare ice.

Ice Volume Characterization using Long-Wavelength Airborne PolSAR Data [PDF]
, 2012 The interest in studying land ice for glaciological and climate change research has increased in recent years. The need of information on a global scale makes synthetic aperture radar (SAR) suitable for these studies.

Glacier volume estimation as an ill-posed inversion [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2014 AbstractEstimating a glacier’s volume by inferring properties at depth (e.g. bed topography or basal slip) from properties observed at the surface (e.g. area and slope) creates a calculation instability that grows exponentially with the size of the glacier.

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,

The physical basis of glacier volume‐area scaling [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1997 Ice volumes are known for only a few of the roughly 160,000 glaciers worldwide but are important components of many climate and sea level studies which require water flux estimates. A scaling analysis of the mass and momentum conservation equations shows that glacier volumes can be related by a power law to more easily observed glacier surface areas ...

Volume–area scaling vs flowline modelling in glacier volume projections [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2007 AbstractVolume–area scaling provides a practical alternative to ice-flow modelling to account for glacier size changes when modelling the future evolution of glaciers; however, uncertainties remain as to the validity of this approach under non-steady conditions.

How sensitive are mountain glaciers to climate change? Insights from a block model
Journal of Glaciology, 2018 Simple models of glacier volume evolution are important in understanding features of glacier response to climate change, due to the scarcity of data adequate for running more complex models on a global scale.
