Glacier Mass Change in High Mountain Asia Through 2100 Using the Open-Source Python Glacier Evolution Model (PyGEM)

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Glaciers in High Mountain Asia are an important freshwater resource for large populations living downstream who rely on runoff for hydropower, irrigation, and municipal use.

Mourning Glaciers: Animism Reconsidered through Ritual and Sensorial Relationships with Mountain Entities in the Alps

Humans, 2023
The transformation due to climate change of the high Alpine mountains is intensifying. A real disruption in the perception of this milieu and in the ways of interacting with it is ongoing, as evidenced by recent funeral ceremonies organised for ...

Sea-Level Rise: From Global Perspectives to Local Services

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Coastal areas are highly diverse, ecologically rich, regions of key socio-economic activity, and are particularly sensitive to sea-level change. Over most of the 20th century, global mean sea level has risen mainly due to warming and subsequent expansion

On the Imbalance and Response Time of Glaciers in the European Alps

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
Glaciers in the European Alps rapidly lose mass to adapt to changes in climate conditions. Here, we investigate the relationship and lag between climate forcing and geometric glacier response with a regional glacier evolution model accounting for ice ...

Review of the status and mass changes of Himalayan-Karakoram glaciers

Journal of Glaciology, 2018
We present a comprehensive review of the status and changes in glacier length (since the 1850s), area and mass (since the 1960s) along the Himalayan-Karakoram (HK) region and their climate-change context.

SenDiT: The Sentinel-2 Displacement Toolbox with Application to Glacier Surface Velocities

Remote Sensing, 2019
Satellite imagery represents a unique opportunity to quantify the spatial and temporal changes of glaciers world-wide. Glacier velocity has been measured from repeat satellite scenes for decades now, yet a range of satellite missions, feature tracking ...

Disappearing glaciers of the Oregon Cascades, USA

Annals of Glaciology
The Oregon Cascades had 35 named glaciers on seven volcanoes in the 1980s, with 34 of those glaciers remaining by 2000. Here, we document the glaciers that fall into the Global Glacier Casualty List categories based on five years of field observations of

An energy-balance model for debris-covered glaciers including heat conduction through the debris layer [PDF]

, 2010
Extensive covers of supraglacial debris are often present in glacier ablation areas, and it is essential to assess exactly how the debris affects glacier melt rates.

Northernmost no more? The fragmentation of Nordmannsjøkelen in Norway

Annals of Glaciology
Nordmannsjøkelen, mainland Europe’s northernmost glacier, has fragmented into small remnants, with only one unit showing signs of active ice flow. The glacier has lost 92% of its area since 1970 (September 2024 area relative to 1970 area).

Quantifying Geodetic Mass Balance of the Northern and Southern Patagonian Icefields Since 1976

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Southern Andean glaciers contribute substantially to global sea-level rise. Unfortunately, mass balance estimates prior to 2000 are limited, hindering our understanding of the evolution of glacier mass changes over time.
