Rock glaciers in mixed lithologies: a case study from Northern Pirin
Revista de Geomorfologie, 2020 Rock glaciers are lobate or tongue-shaped assemblages of poorly sorted, angular-rock debris and ice, commonly found in high mountain environments, which move as a consequence of the deformation of internal ice (Giardino and Vitek, 1988; Barsch, 1996 ...

Everest's thinning glaciers: implications for tourism and mountaineering [PDF]
Geology Today, 2018 Glacier mass loss in the Everest region of Nepal is accelerating in response to a warming climate, which is a trend observed across the central and eastern Himalaya. Thinning glaciers and the development of supraglacial (surface) ponds and large glacial lakes will increasingly restrict access to glacier surfaces and will affect popular trekking routes ...

Geophysical Research LettersThe processes of ice incorporation into rock glaciers have been difficult to quantify in both permafrost and non‐permafrost conditions. Here, we develop a numerical model that regardless of the presence of permafrost, reveals how debris eroded from ...

Accelerated Volume Loss in Glacier Ablation Zones of NE Greenland, Little Ice Age to Present
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 Mountain glaciers at the periphery of the Greenland ice sheet are a crucial freshwater and sediment source to the North Atlantic and strongly impact Arctic terrestrial, fjord, and coastal biogeochemical cycles. In this study we mapped the extent of 1,848

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Ongoing changes in mountain glaciers affect local water resources, hazard potential and global sea level. An increasing proportion of remaining mountain glaciers are affected by the presence of a surface cover of rock debris, and the response of these ...

Mètode Science Studies Journal: Annual ReviewIn high-mountain regions, climate change adaptation represents a major challenge, both now and in the future, particularly in issues related to water management and the continued degradation and loss of glaciers. While scientific knowledge on the subject

Bedload hysteresis in a glacier‐fed mountain river [PDF]
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2014 ABSTRACTSediment transport during flood events often reveals hysteretic patterns because flow discharge can peak before (counterclockwise hysteresis) or after (clockwise hysteresis) the peak of bedload. Hysteresis in sediment transport has been used in the literature to infer the degree of sediment availability.

Journal of Glaciology, 2018 Ice cores from mid-latitude mountain glaciers provide detailed information on past climate conditions and regional environmental changes, which is essential for placing current climate change into a longer term perspective.
