Supraglacial ice cliffs and ponds on debris-covered glaciers: spatio-temporal distribution and characteristics [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2019 ABSTRACTIce cliffs and ponds on debris-covered glaciers have received increased attention due to their role in amplifying local melt. However, very few studies have looked at these features on the catchment scale to determine their patterns and changes in space and time.

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2020 Meltwater habitats are found on glacier surfaces worldwide, but much of the current understanding of these habitats comes from clean glaciers sprinkled with cryoconite.

Changes in glacier surface cover on Baltoro glacier, Karakoram, north Pakistan, 2001–2012
Journal of Maps, 2017 The presence of supraglacial debris on glaciers in the Himalaya-Karakoram affects the ablation rate of these glaciers and their response to climatic change. To understand how supraglacial debris distribution and associated surface features vary spatially

The New Swiss Glacier Inventory SGI2016: From a Topographical to a Glaciological Dataset
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Glaciers in Switzerland are shrinking rapidly in response to ongoing climate change. Repeated glacier inventories are key to monitor such changes at the regional scale. Here we present the new Swiss Glacier Inventory 2016 (SGI2016) that has been acquired

Science of The Total Environment, 2022 Microplastic (MP) contamination is ubiquitous and widespread in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, including remote areas. However, information on the presence and distribution of MPs in high-mountain ecosystems, including glaciers, is still limited. The present study aimed at investigating presence, spatial distribution, and patterns of contamination

Probing supraglacial debris on Mars 1: Sources, thickness, and stratigraphy [PDF]
Icarus, 2019 Abstract Geomorphic and geophysical evidence supports a debris-covered glacier origin for a suite of landforms at the mid-latitudes of Mars, including lobate debris aprons (LDA), lineated valley fill (LVF), and concentric crater fill (CCF). These large reservoirs of ice and their near-surface structure provide a rich record for understanding the ...

Optimising NDWI supraglacial pond classification on Himalayan debris-covered glaciers [PDF]
Remote Sensing of Environment, 2018 The ability of medium-resolution (10–30 m) satellite imagery to delineate the size and persistence of ponds on debris-covered glaciers is a topic of recent interest as it has become apparent through the use of fine-resolution products that smaller ponds have often been neglected.

Environmental Research Letters, 2015 Supraglacial lakes are widely formed on debris-covered glaciers in the Khan Tengri-Tumor Mountains (KTTM), Tianshan, Central Asia. Study of their distribution characters based on regional-wide remote sensing investigations is still lacking, but it can ...
