From Doktor Kurowski's Schneegrenze to our modern glacier equilibrium line altitude (ELA) [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 Translated into modern terminology, Kurowski suggested in 1891 that the equilibrium line altitude (ELA) of a glacier is equal to the mean altitude of the glacier when the whole glacier is in balance between accumulation and ablation.

Contemporary (2001) and ‘Little Ice Age’ glacier extents in the Buordakh Massif, Cherskiy Range, north east Siberia [PDF]
, 2010 The Buordakh Massif of the Cherskiy Range of sub-arctic north east Siberia, Russia has a cold continental climate and supports over 80 glaciers. Despite previous research in the region, a georeferenced map of the glaciers has only recently been completed

Inventory and Distribution of Rock Glaciers in Northeastern Yakutia
Land, 2020 Rock glaciers are common forms of relief of the periglacial belt of many mountain structures in the world. They are potential sources of water in arid and semi-arid regions, and therefore their analysis is important in assessing water reserves.

A regionally resolved inventory of High Mountain Asia surge-type glaciers, derived from a multi-factor remote sensing approach [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Knowledge about the occurrence and characteristics of surge-type glaciers is crucial due to the impact of surging on glacier melt and glacier-related hazards. One of the super-clusters of surge-type glaciers is High Mountain Asia (HMA).

Geomatic methods applied to the change study of the la Paúl Rock Glacier, Spanish Pyrenees [PDF]
, 2019 Producción CientíficaRock glaciers are one of the most important features of the mountain permafrost in the Pyrenees. La Paúl is an active rock glacier located in the north face of the Posets massif in the La Paúl glacier cirque (Spanish Pyrenees).

DETECTION AND QUANTIFICATION OF ROCK GLACIER CREEP USING HIGH-RESOLUTION ORTHOIMAGES OF VIRTUAL GLOBES [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2012 Rock glaciers are creep phenomena of mountain permafrost and are composed of ice and rocks. Active rock glaciers move downslope by force of gravity. Maximum creep/flow velocities of individual rock glaciers may vary from a few centimeters up to several

60 million years of glaciation in the Transantarctic Mountains
Nature Communications, 2022 This study finds that glaciers have existed in the Transantarctic Mountains for the past 60 million years, and that warm-based mountain glaciers were present in Antarctica long before ice sheets came to dominate the continent.

Spatial pattern of glacier mass balance sensitivity to atmospheric forcing in High Mountain Asia
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 The complex topography and size of High Mountain Asia (HMA) result in large differences in glacier mass-balance variability and climate sensitivity.

Potential climatic transitions with profound impact on Europe [PDF]
, 2011 We discuss potential transitions of six climatic subsystems with large-scale impact on Europe, sometimes denoted as tipping elements. These are the ice sheets on Greenland and West Antarctica, the Atlantic thermohaline circulation, Arctic sea ice, Alpine
