In-situ and modelled debris thickness distribution on Panchi Nala Glacier (western Himalaya, India) and its impact on glacier state

Quaternary Science Advances
This study presents extensive in-situ debris thickness measurements over the Panchi Nala Glacier (western Himalaya, India) and models its spatial distribution using remote sensing and ERA-5 reanalysis data.

Ground-penetrating radar measurements of debris thickness on Lirung Glacier, Nepal

Journal of Glaciology, 2017
Supraglacial debris thickness is a key control on the surface energy balance of debris-covered glaciers, yet debris thickness measurements are sparse due to difficulties of data collection.

Debris covered glacier mapping using newly annotated multisource remote sensing data and geo-foundational model

Science of Remote Sensing
The automated mapping of debris covered glaciers remains challenging due to spectral similarity between supraglacial debris (on-glaciers) and periglacial debris (off-glaciers).

Stability of supraglacial debris

, 2018
Rock debris on the surface of ablating glaciers is not static, and is often transported across the ice surface as relief evolves during melt. This supraglacial debris transport has a strong influence on the spatial distribution of melt, and is implicated

Probing Supraglacial Debris on Mars 1: Sources, Thickness, and Stratigraphy

, 2018
Geomorphic and geophysical evidence supports a debris-covered glacier origin for a suite of landforms at themid-latitudes of Mars, including lobate debris aprons (LDA), lineated valley fill (LVF), and concentric crater fill (CCF).

THE DARK SIDE OF THE ICE: GLACIOLOGICAL AND BIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF SUPRAGLACIAL DEBRIS

, 2017
This research deals with a multi-disciplinary analysis of the supraglacial debris. Debris significantly influences the evolution of glacier surface, its energy balance, and the carbon fluxes and storage. In this work through a multi-disciplinary approach, we focused on this dark side of the glaciers from two different points of view: the glaciological ...

Supraglacial dust and debris characterization via in situ and optical remote sensing methods

, 2011
Supraglacial dust and debris affects many glaciologic variables, including radiative absorption, ablation, generation of supraglacial melt as well as mass flux.

Multi‐Year Glaciological and Meteorological Observations on Debris‐Covered Kennicott Glacier, Alaska, 2016–2023

Geoscience Data Journal
Despite increasing availability of satellite‐derived products, in situ glacier observations are pivotal to accurately monitor glacier change and to calibrate and validate glacier models.

Recent glacier retreat in the Caucasus Mountains, Russia, and associated increase in supraglacial debris cover and supra-/proglacial lake development

, 2007
This paper reports changes in supraglacial debris cover and supra-/proglacial lake development associated with recent glacier retreat (1985-2000) in the central Caucasus Mountains, Russia.
