CH4 emissions from runoff water of Alaskan mountain glaciers [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 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.

THE GLACIER COMPLEXES OF THE MOUNTAIN MASSIFS OF THE NORTH-WEST OF INNER ASIA AND THEIR DYNAMICS [PDF]
Geography, Environment, Sustainability, 2011 The subject of this paper is the glaciation of the mountain massifs Mongun-Taiga, Tavan-Boghd-Ola, Turgeni-Nuru, and Harhira-Nuru. The glaciation is represented mostly by small forms that sometimes form a single complex of dome-shaped peaks. According to

Humans, 2023 The transformation due to climate change of the high Alpine mountains is intensifying. A real disruption in the perception of this milieu and in the ways of interacting with it is ongoing, as evidenced by recent funeral ceremonies organised for ...

Remote Sensing, 2022 Mapping the outlines of glaciers has primarily relied on the interpretation of satellite optical images. However, the accurate delineation of glaciers in complex terrain mountain regions remains challenging, mainly because the supraglacial debris-covered

Younger Dryas glacier advances in the tropical Andes driven by increased precipitation [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThere is currently a debate about the timing and drivers of former glacier behaviour and climate change in the tropical Andes. Using 10Be dating we determined the ages of 21 boulders on moraines in the Santa Cruz Valley, Peru (∼10°S, altitudes ~ 4100 to ~

Mountain glacier extents at the Last Glacial Maximum [PDF]
Scientific DataMountain 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 ...

Algorithms, 2023 Glaciers are important indictors of climate change as changes in glaciers physical features such as their area is in response to measurable evidence of fluctuating climate factors such as temperature, precipitation, and CO2. Although a general retreat of

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 ...
