Debris properties and mass-balance impacts on adjacent debris-covered glaciers, Mount Rainier, USA

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2019
The north and east slopes of Mount Rainier, Washington, are host to three of the largest glaciers in the contiguous United States: Carbon Glacier, Winthrop Glacier, and Emmons Glacier. Each has an extensive blanket of supraglacial debris on its terminus,

Refined energy-balance modelling of a supraglacial pond, Langtang Khola, Nepal

Annals of Glaciology, 2016
Supraglacial ponds on debris-covered glaciers present a mechanism of atmosphere/glacier energy transfer that is poorly studied, and only conceptually included in mass-balance studies of debris-covered glaciers.

Controls on Ice Cliff Distribution and Characteristics on Debris‐Covered Glaciers

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Ice cliff distribution plays a major role in determining the melt of debris‐covered glaciers but its controls are largely unknown. We assembled a data set of 37,537 ice cliffs and determined their characteristics across 86 debris‐covered glaciers within ...

Winter Baseflow Calibration's Critical Role in Hydrological Modeling for the Pamir Region

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The Pamir Mountains, a critical water source for Central Asia, require accurate quantification of runoff components for water resource management under climate change. Uncertainties in precipitation data are known to greatly affect hydrological model accuracy, leading to the widespread use of multi‐data calibration methods to avoid internal ...

Supraglacial debris-transport variability over time: examples from Switzerland and Iceland [PDF]

Annals of Glaciology, 1996
The volume of debris in the left-lateral, Little Ice Age (LIA: AD 1550–1850) moraine of the Feegletscher, Valais, Switzerland was compared with the actual volume being transported currently by the glacier. The latter is smaller by a factor of about two.

Provenance and transport of supraglacial debris revealed by variations in debris geochemistry on Khumbu Glacier, Nepal Himalaya

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2023
AbstractThe origin of supraglacial debris covers is often conceptualised as the formation of a surface lag by melt‐out of englacial debris from slow‐moving ice, where complexity arises from feedback between debris thickness and sub‐debris ice melt. Here, we examine the origin of a debris cover from the perspective of debris provenance and changing ...

Dynamic Changes of a Thick Debris-Covered Glacier in the Southeastern Tibetan Plateau

Remote Sensing, 2023
Debris-covered glaciers have contrasting melting mechanisms and climate response patterns if compared with debris-free glaciers and thus show a unique influence on the hydrological process.

Exploring short‐term rockfall inventories in deglaciating catchments: From evidencing glacial history to modelling rockfall runout

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 15, December 2025.
Repeat laser scanning and change detection revealed that large but infrequent rockfall events dominated summer debris supply from subaerial rock slopes bordering Miage Glacier, Italy. Rockfall source locations reflect the legacy of recent deglaciation and possibly longer‐term glacial trimlines, highlighting climate‐driven controls on sediment fluxes in

Representing moisture fluxes and phase changes in glacier debris cover using a reservoir approach [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2014
Due to the complexity of treating moisture in supraglacial debris, surface energy balance models to date have neglected moisture infiltration and phase changes in the debris layer.
