Younger Dryas glacier advances in the tropical Andes driven by increased precipitation [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
There is currently a debate about the timing and drivers of former glacier behaviour and climate change in the tropical Andes. Using 10Be dating we determined the ages of 21 boulders on moraines in the Santa Cruz Valley, Peru (∼10°S, altitudes ~ 4100 to ~

Spatio-temporal variability in geometry and geodetic mass balance of Jostedalsbreen ice cap, Norway

open access: yesAnnals 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.

Multivariate statistical analysis to assess the surface water quality of a snow and glacier-fed river: A case from Alaknanda River basin

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 2023
The water quality of Himalayan rivers has declined due to human activities, untreated effluent discharge, and poor sewage and drainage systems. The current study aimed to assess the water quality of these rivers using multivariate statistical analysis ...

Sudden large-volume detachments of low-angle mountain glaciers – more frequent than thought?

open access: yes, 2021
. The detachment of large parts of low-angle mountain glaciers resulting in massive ice–rock avalanches have so far been believed to be a unique type of event, made known to the global scientific community first for the 2002 Kolka Glacier detachment ...

A regionally resolved inventory of High Mountain Asia surge-type glaciers, derived from a multi-factor remote sensing approach

open access: yesThe 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.

Multi-decadal monsoon characteristics and glacier response in High Mountain Asia

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2022
Glacier health across High Mountain Asia (HMA) is highly heterogeneous and strongly governed by regional climate, which is variably influenced by monsoon dynamics and the westerlies.

Slow change since the Little Ice Age at a far northern glacier with the potential for system reorganization: Thores Glacier, northern Ellesmere Island, Canada

open access: yesArctic Science, 2023
Relatively little is known about the glaciers of northern Ellesmere Island, Canada. Here we describe the first field and remote sensing observations of Thores Glacier, located 50 km inland from the Arctic Ocean.
