Decadal evolution of a very small heavily debris-covered glacier in an Alpine permafrost environment
Journal of Glaciology, 2016 Glacier response to climate forcing can be heterogeneous and complex, depending on glacier system characteristics. This article presents the decadal evolution of the Tsarmine Glacier (Swiss Alps), a very small and heavily debris-covered cirque glacier ...

Spatial differences of ice volume across High Mountain Asia
Advances in Climate Change Research, 2023 Advanced knowledge of glacier ice volume is vital for water resource assessment. Previous studies have focused on the estimation of ice volume, but the quantitative understanding of the spatial variability of ice volume across High Mountain regions is ...

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.

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.

What is the global glacier ice volume outside the ice sheets?
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 A recent study (Millan and others, 2022a, Nature Geoscience 15(2), 124–129) claims that ice volume contained in all glaciers outside the ice sheets and its potential contribution to sea level is 20% less than previously estimated.

Recent changes in glacial area and volume on Tuanjiefeng peak region of Qilian Mountains, China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Glaciers' runoff in the Qilian Mountains serves as a critical water resource in the northern sections of the Gansu province, the northeastern sections of the Qinghai province, and the northeastern fringe of the Tibetan Plateau.

Improving estimation of glacier volume change: a GLIMS case study of Bering Glacier System, Alaska [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2007 Abstract. The Global Land Ice Measurements from Space (GLIMS) project has developed tools and methods that can be employed by analysts to create accurate glacier outlines. To illustrate the importance of accurate glacier outlines and the effectiveness of GLIMS standards we conducted a case study on Bering Glacier System (BGS), Alaska.
