The Randolph Glacier Inventory: a globally complete inventory of glaciers [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology, 2014
Abstract The Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) is a globally complete collection of digital outlines of glaciers, excluding the ice sheets, developed to meet the needs of the Fifth Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for estimates of past and future mass balance.

Rock glaciers and mountain hydrology: A review

Earth-Science Reviews, 2019
In mountainous regions, climate change threatens cryospheric water resources, and understanding all components of the hydrological cycle is necessary for effective water resource management. Rock glaciers are climatically more resilient than glaciers and

Sub-seasonal variability of supraglacial ice cliff melt rates and associated processes from time-lapse photogrammetry [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2022
Melt from supraglacial ice cliffs is an important contributor to the mass loss of debris-covered glaciers. However, ice cliff contribution is difficult to quantify as they are highly dynamic features, and the paucity of observations of melt rates and ...

High-temporal-resolution hydrometeorological data collected in the tropical Cordillera Blanca, Peru (2004–2020) [PDF]

Earth System Science Data, 2022
This article presents a comprehensive hydrometeorological dataset collected over the past two decades throughout the Cordillera Blanca, Peru. The data-recording sites, located in the upper portion of the Rio Santa valley, also known as the Callejon de ...

An inventory of Norway's glaciers and ice-marginal lakes from 2018–19 Sentinel-2 data

Journal of Glaciology, 2022
We used Sentinel-2 satellite imagery at 10 m resolution to map the extent of Norway's glaciers and ice-marginal lakes over 2018–19. We applied a standardized semi-automated band ratio method to derive glacier outlines and ice-marginal lakes.

Reanalysis of long-term series of glaciological and geodetic mass balance for 10 Norwegian glaciers [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2016
Glaciological and geodetic methods provide independent observations of glacier mass balance. The glaciological method measures the surface mass balance, on a seasonal or annual basis, whereas the geodetic method measures surface, internal, and basal mass

Health and sustainability of glaciers in High Mountain Asia

Nature Communications, 2021
Glaciers in High Mountain Asia generate meltwater that supports the water needs of 250 million people, but current knowledge of annual accumulation and ablation is limited to sparse field measurements biased in location and glacier size. Here, we present

Controls on Ice Cliff Distribution and Characteristics on Debris‐Covered Glaciers

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Ice cliff distribution plays a major role in determining the melt of debris‐covered glaciers but its controls are largely unknown. We assembled a data set of 37,537 ice cliffs and determined their characteristics across 86 debris‐covered glaciers within ...

Increasing glacial lake outburst flood hazard in response to surge glaciers in the Karakoram

Earth-Science Reviews, 2021
Unlike glaciers in other parts of the world, Karakoram glaciers seem to be stable or gaining in mass in response to global climate change, a phenomenon known as ‘the Karakoram anomaly’.
