Mass Balance Reconstruction for Laohugou Glacier No. 12 from 1980 to 2020, Western Qilian Mountains, China [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2022 A long-series mass balance (MB) of glaciers can be used to study glacier–climate relationships. Using a distributed simplified energy balance model (SEBM) and an enhanced temperature-index model (ETIM), the MB of Laohugou Glacier No.

Glacier reconstruction and mass‐balance modelling as a geomorphic and palaeoclimatic tool [PDF]
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2010 AbstractThe 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

Hintereisferner, Austria: mass-balance reconstruction and numerical modelling of the historical length variations [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1992 AbstractIn this study, an attempt is made to simulate the historical length variations of Hintereisferner (Austria). Key elements in the model are: (1) reconstruction of the local climate (Vent); (2) multiple linear regression analysis between measured climate and mass-balance variations; (3) reconstruction of the mass balance with (1) and (2); (4) a ...

Reconstructing the mass balance of Brewster Glacier, New Zealand, using MODIS-derived glacier-wide albedo [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 In New Zealand, direct measurements of mass balance are sparse due to the inaccessibility of glaciers in the Southern Alps and the logistical difficulties associated with maintaining a mass balance record.

Reconstruction of the 1979–2006 Greenland ice sheet surface mass balance using the regional climate model MAR [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2007 Abstract. Results from a 28-year simulation (1979–2006) over the Greenland ice sheet (GIS) reveal an increase of the solid precipitation (+0.4±2.5 km3 yr−2) and the run-off (+7.9±3.3 km3 yr−2) of surface melt water. The net effect of these competing factors leads to a significant Surface Mass Balance (SMB) loss rate of −7.2±5.1 km3 yr−2.

Reconstruction of Glacier Mass Balances and Climate Changes in the Kamchatka Peninsula.
Journal of Geography (Chigaku Zasshi), 2002 More than 400 glaciers exist in the mountains of Kamchatka Peninsula and they constitute the southern boundary of present-day glacierization along the eastern coast of the Eurasian continent. The mass balances of the glaciers are characterized by decadal and interdecadal oscillations, and they are closely related to those observed in the glaciers of ...

High-resolution mass balance reconstructions for Swiss glaciers using machine learning
Glacier retreat poses significant environmental and societal challenges. Understanding the local impacts of climate drivers on glacier evolution is essential, with glacier mass balance being a central concept. This study uses the Mass Balance Machine (MBM; Sjursen et al., 2025), an open-source, data-driven model based on eXtreme Gradient Boosting ...

Disaggregating geodetic glacier mass balance to annual scale using remote-sensing proxies
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Decadal-scale, high-resolution geodetic measurements of glacier thinning have transformed our understanding of glacier response to climate change. Annual glacier mass balance can be estimated using remote-sensing proxies like snow-line altitude.

Reconstruction of the 1979–2006 Greenland ice sheet surface mass balance using the regional climate model MAR [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2007 Results from a 28-year simulation (1979–2006) over the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) reveal an increase of solid precipitation (+0.4±2.5 km3 yr−2) and run-off (+7.9±3.3 km3 yr−2) of surface meltwater.

A New 200‐Year Spatial Reconstruction of West Antarctic Surface Mass Balance [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2019 AbstractHigh‐spatial resolution surface mass balance (SMB) over the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) spanning 1800–2010 is reconstructed by means of ice core records combined with the outputs of the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts “Interim” reanalysis (ERA‐Interim) and the latest polar version of the Regional Atmospheric Climate Model
