Modelling the future evolution of glaciers in the European Alps under the EURO-CORDEX RCM ensemble
The Cryosphere, 2018 . Glaciers in the European Alps play an important role in the hydrological cycle, act as a source for hydroelectricity and have a large touristic importance. The future evolution of these glaciers is driven by surface mass balance and ice flow processes,

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

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 ...

Spatio-temporal variability in geometry and geodetic mass balance of Jostedalsbreen ice cap, Norway
Annals of Glaciology, 2023 The Jostedalsbreen ice cap is mainland Europe's largest ice cap and accommodates 20% (458 km2 in 2019) of the total glacier area of mainland Norway.

The Cryosphere, 2021 . Knowledge about the occurrence and characteristics of surge-type glaciers is crucial due to the impact of surging on glacier melt and glacier related hazards. One of the "super-clusters" of surge-type glaciers is the mountains of Asia.
