Hydraulic impacts of glacier advance over a sediment bed [PDF]
, 2006 A sedimentary sequence of till overlying a gravel aquifer was instrumented with water-pressure transducers prior to a small, anticipated surge of the margin of the glacier Breiðamerkurjökull in Iceland.

Modeling 2m air temperatures over mountain glaciers: Exploring the influence of katabatic cooling and external warming [PDF]
, 2015 Air temperature is one of the most relevant input variables for snow and ice melt calculations. However, local meteorological conditions, complex topography, and logistical concerns in glacierized regions make the measuring and modeling of air ...

Glacier Volume Changes Across the Greater Caucasus Between 1960 and 2025
Remote SensingMountain glaciers are sensitive indicators of climate change and provide essential freshwater resources for downstream ecosystems and human societies. Although glacier area changes have been extensively investigated in the Greater Caucasus, no long-term ...

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.

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.
