Multiproxy tree ring reconstruction of glacier mass balance: insights from Pinus cembra trees growing near Silvretta Glacier (Swiss Alps) [PDF]
Climate of the PastGlacier mass balance reconstructions provide a means of placing relatively short observational records into a longer-term context. Here, we use multiple proxies from Pinus cembra trees from God da Tamangur, combining tree ring anatomy and stable isotope ...

Reconstructing spatially variable mass balances from past ice extents by inverse modeling [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2018 With the conclusion of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), about 20 000 years ago, ended the most recent long-lasting cold phase in Earth history. This last glacial advance left a strong observable imprint on the landscape, such as moraines, trimlines and ...

Mass-balance observations and reconstruction for Haxilegen Glacier No.51, eastern Tien Shan, from 1999 to 2015 [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2018 Haxilegen Glacier No.51 (43.731°N, 84.391°E; CN5Y741C0051) is located in the Kuytun river basin, Erenharbirga range, eastern Tien Shan. This study presents the annual mass balance of Haxilegen Glacier No.51 for 7 hydrological years and uses a temperature-

A reconstruction of annual mass balances of Austria’s glaciers from 1969 to 1998 [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2011 AbstractAnnual glacier mass balances are reconstructed for 96% of the Austrian glacier-covered area (451 of 470 km2) between 1969 and 1998. The volume change derived from two complete glacier inventories (1969 and 1998) serves as the boundary condition that is aimed to be reproduced.

Mass Balance of Four Mongolian Glaciers: In-situ Measurements, Long-Term Reconstruction and Sensitivity Analysis [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 This study describes the in situ observed and modeled mass balances of four representative glaciers in the Mongolian Altai Mountains. Mass-balance stakes and automatic weather stations (AWS) were installed along each glacier to obtain the in situ mass ...

High-resolution reconstruction of Polar Ural glacier mass balance for the last millennium [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2005 AbstractOur ultimate objective is to study the mass-balance variations of Polar Ural glaciers during the last millennium. We use mass-balance data for two glaciers between 1957 and 1981, climate data obtained by instrumental observations during the 20th century, and tree-ring data compiled for the last 1000 years.

, 2023 Current state-of-the-art glacier models for regional and global scales mostly rely on empirical models, such as temperature-index models, which require glacier-specific calibration with in-situ mass balance measurements. In the absence of these measurements, the models suffer from large uncertainties in their projections of glacier mass changes ...

The challenge of monitoring glaciers with extreme altitudinal range: mass-balance reconstruction for Kahiltna Glacier, Alaska [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2018 Glaciers spanning large altitudinal ranges often experience different climatic regimes with elevation, creating challenges in acquiring mass-balance and climate observations that represent the entire glacier.

A century reconstruction of the mass balance of Glacier de Sarennes, French Alps [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2002 AbstractThe 50 year time series of mass balance on Glacier de Sarennes is one of the longest in the French Alps, and so is often used as a reference for glacier variations in the French Alps. Meteorological data can be used to extend the series backwards in time. Martin (1978) proposed such a reconstruction for the 1882–1977 period.
