CH4 emissions from runoff water of Alaskan mountain glaciers [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Recent studies have observed high methane concentrations in runoff water and the ambient air at various glacier sites, including the Greenland Ice Sheet, the glacier forefield in Svalbard, and the ice cap in Iceland.

Monitoring and Prediction of Glacier Deformation in the Meili Snow Mountain Based on InSAR Technology and GA-BP Neural Network Algorithm

Sensors, 2022
The morphological changes in mountain glaciers are effective in indicating the environmental climate change in the alpine ice sheet. Aiming at the problems of single monitoring index and low prediction accuracy of mountain glacier deformation at present,

Mountain glacier extents at the Last Glacial Maximum [PDF]

Scientific Data
Mountain regions experienced repeated glacial expansions and retreats during the Quaternary, shaping landscapes, ecosystems, and regional climates. While numerous reconstructions exist for individual mountain glaciers, global geodatabases remain scarce ...

Sub-seasonal variability of supraglacial ice cliff melt rates and associated processes from time-lapse photogrammetry [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2022
Melt from supraglacial ice cliffs is an important contributor to the mass loss of debris-covered glaciers. However, ice cliff contribution is difficult to quantify as they are highly dynamic features, and the paucity of observations of melt rates and ...

Recent contrasting behaviour of mountain glaciers across the European High Arctic revealed by ArcticDEM data [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2022
Small land-terminating mountain glaciers are a widespread and important element of Arctic ecosystems, influencing local hydrology, microclimate, and ecology.

Controls on Ice Cliff Distribution and Characteristics on Debris‐Covered Glaciers

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Ice cliff distribution plays a major role in determining the melt of debris‐covered glaciers but its controls are largely unknown. We assembled a data set of 37,537 ice cliffs and determined their characteristics across 86 debris‐covered glaciers within ...

Review article: Earth's ice imbalance [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2021
We combine satellite observations and numerical models to show that Earth lost 28 trillion tonnes of ice between 1994 and 2017. Arctic sea ice (7.6 trillion tonnes), Antarctic ice shelves (6.5 trillion tonnes), mountain glaciers (6.1 trillion tonnes ...

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

Environmental 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.

Climate regime of Asian glaciers revealed by GAMDAM glacier inventory [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2015
Among meteorological elements, precipitation has a large spatial variability and less observation, particularly in high-mountain Asia, although precipitation in mountains is an important parameter for hydrological circulation.

Spatiotemporal dynamic characteristics of typical temperate glaciers in China

Scientific Reports, 2021
China’s temperate glaciers have a relatively warm and humid climate and hydrothermal conditions at low latitudes. Temperate glaciers, however, have larger ablation, higher ice temperatures, relatively fast movement speeds, and a significant sliding ...
