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

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.

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).

Mountain glaciers: on thinning ice [PDF]
, 2014 Mountain glaciers are key indicators of climate change. Glacier changes are the most visible evidence of global climate change we have. They affect the appearance of the landscape in high mountains and impact regional water supplies, local hazard ...

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.
