An improved technique for the reconstruction of former glacier mass-balance and dynamics
Geomorphology, 2007Abstract The recognition of past glacier extent and dynamics is a fundamental aspect of investigations of the climatic sensitivity of glaciers, especially when examining short-lived climate events such as the Younger Dryas or Little Ice Age. Existing approaches to the reconstruction of glacier form and dynamics depend on speculative reasoning of key ...

Glacier reconstruction and mass‐balance modelling as a geomorphic and palaeoclimatic tool
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2010AbstractThe reconstruction of former mountain glaciers has long been used to examine the implications of rapid climate shifts, for example at the last glacial–interglacial transition, and for evaluating asynchronous behaviour of mountain glaciers compared with mid‐latitude ice sheets during the Late Quaternary. Glacier reconstruction has also been used

Development of a Glacio-hydrological Model for Discharge and Mass Balance Reconstruction
Water Resources Management, 2016The reconstruction of glacio-hydrological records for the data deficient Himalayan catchments is needed in order to study the past and future water availability. The study provides outcomes of a glacio-hydrological model based on the degree-day approach. The model simulates the discharge and mass balance for glacierised Shaune Garang catchment.

Mass-balanced paleogeographic reconstructions
Geologische Rundschau, 1989Paleogeography, paleotopography, and paleobathymetry of a closed erosion-depositional system can be reconstructed by restoring sedimentary masses to elevated surfaces in a drainage basin based on the inverse of present erosion equations and adjusting for isostasy, sea level changes, sediment compaction, and thermal subsidence.

Mass-Balanced Reconstruction of Paleogeology
1993Mass-balanced paleogeographic reconstruction can be extended into reconstruction of the paleogeology, using information inherent in the mass/age distribution of the sediments.

Mass-Balanced Reconstruction of Overburden
1993The mass-balanced paleogeographic reconstructions technique determines the thickness of the rock eroded from the source areas to supply sediment to the sedimentary basins. The thickness of this eroded overburden and the time of its erosion are valuable inputs for calculations of the thermal history of the rocks and the maturation of hydrocarbons.
