Including debris cover effects in a distributed model of glacier ablation [PDF]

, 2012
Distributed glacier melt models generally assume that the glacier surface consists of bare exposed ice and snow. In reality, many glaciers are wholly or partially covered in layers of debris that tend to suppress ablation rates.

Intra-annual and intra-seasonal flow dynamics of a High Arctic polythermal valley glacier [PDF]

, 2002
Measurements of surface dynamics on polythermal John Evans Glacier, Nunavut, Canada, over two winter periods and every 7-10 days throughout two melt seasons (June-July 2000, 2001) provide new insight into spatio-temporal patterns of High Arctic glacier ...

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.

A distributed energy-balance melt model of an alpine debris-covered glacier [PDF]

, 2014
Distributed energy-balance melt models have rarely been applied to glaciers with extensive supraglacial debris cover. This paper describes the development of a distributed melt model and its application to the debris-covered Miage glacier, western ...

The 1982/83 surge and antecedent quiescent phase of Variegated Glacier: revising the original dataset for application in flow line models

Journal of Glaciology, 2017
The extensive dataset of Variegated Glacier's 1982/83 surge and antecedent quiescent phase is fragmentary and predominantly of flow line nature. Applying the raw centre line data in a flow line model to conduct research into the mechanism behind ...

Sub-debris melt rates on southern Inylchek Glacier, central Tian Shan [PDF]

, 2008
Melt rates of glacier surfaces are strongly influenced by the existence of a debris cover. Dependent on thickness and other physical parameters the debris layer can enhance or reduce ablation as compared to bare ice conditions.

Numerical modelling of past retreat and future evolution of Chhota Shigri glacier in Western Indian Himalaya

Annals of Glaciology, 2017
The history of glacier length fluctuations serves as a reliable indicator of the past climate. In this paper, a numerical flowline model has been used to study the relationship between length variations of Chhota Shigri glacier and local climate since ...

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.
