Rapid sequestration of rock avalanche deposits within glaciers
, 2015 Topographic development in mountainous landscapes is a complex interplay between tectonics, climate and denudation. Glaciers erode valleys to generate headwall relief, and hillslope processes control the height and retreat of the peaks.

Carbon cycling in supraglacial debris covers [PDF]
The cryosphere plays an important role in the global carbon cycle, but few studies have examined carbon fluxes specifically over debris-covered ice. To address this limitation, this thesis investigates spatial and temporal variations in the surface CO2 ...

Scottish late-glacial moraines: debris supply, genesis and significance
, 2012 A variety of moraine forms were deposited by glaciers during the Loch Lomond Stadial. Study of such moraines and related landforms provides a valuable source of data on patterns of landscape evolution and climatic change. This thesis presents detailed

, 2016 Supraglacial trees are becoming a common feature on debris-covered glaciers (DCGs). The Miage Glacier (Mont Blanc Massif) is the only DCG on the Southern side of the European Alps characterized by the presence of a supraglacial forest.

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2013 ABSTRACTGlaciological controls on debris cover formation are investigated from the perspective of primary dispersal of supraglacial debris across a melting ice surface. This involves the migration of angled debris septa outcrops across a melting, thinning glacier ablation zone.

First evidence of microplastic contamination in the supraglacial debris of an alpine glacier
Environmental Pollution, 2019Contamination by plastic debris has been documented in most regions of the world, but their occurrence in high mountain areas has not been investigated to date. Here we present the first report of the occurrence and amount of microplastic in any terrestrial glacier environment. In the supraglacial debris of the Forni Glacier (Italian Alps), we observed

Quantifying supraglacial debris thickness at local to regional scales
, 2019 Supraglacial debris thickness is a key control on the surface energy balance of debris-covered glaciers, which are common in temperate mountain ranges around the world. As such, it is an important input variable to the sorts of models that are used to understand and predict glacier change, which are essential for determining future water supply in ...

Spatial analysis of supraglacial debris cover in Svalbard, Arctic Region—a decadal study
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2021Continental glacier melts directly influence the environment, resulting in sea-level rise affecting the settlements along the coast. The increase in global warming and constant change in the glacier mass grabbed the attention of researchers in understanding the evolution and distribution of glaciers.
