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.

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).

Projected effects of temperature changes on the Italian Western Tauri glaciers (Eastern Alps)
Journal of Glaciology, 2019 A linear model was used to investigate the behaviour of the Italian Western Tauri glaciers as a result of temperature changes projected for the 21st century.

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.

A comparison of glacier melt on debris-covered glaciers in the northern and southern Caucasus [PDF]
, 2011 The glacier coverage in the Caucasus Mountains underwent considerable changes during the last decades. In some regions, the observed reduction in glacier area is comparable to those in the European Alps and the extent of supra-glacial debris increased on

A review of topographic controls on moraine distribution [PDF]
, 2014 Ice-marginal moraines are often used to reconstruct the dimensions of former ice masses, which are then used as proxies for palaeoclimate. This approach relies on the assumption that the distribution of moraines in the modern landscape is an accurate ...

A glacier inventory for the western Nyainqentanglha Range and the Nam Co Basin, Tibet, and glacier changes 1976–2009 [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2010 The western Nyainqentanglha Range is located in the south-eastern centre of the Tibetan Plateau. Its north-western slopes drain into Lake Nam Co. The region is of special interest for glacio-climatological research as it is influenced by both the ...
