Previous studies have shown contrasting glacier elevation and mass changes in the sub-regions of high-mountain Asia. However, the elevation changes on an individual catchment scale can be potentially influenced by supraglacial debris, ponds, lakes and ...

We outline the geomorphological relationships between glaciers, lakes and bofedal wetlands, and the way in which moraines, talus slopes and sandar interact with catchment hydrology in the tropical Andes of Peru. Bofedales are well developed within glacial limits, with glacial processes such as erosion and formation of moraines providing the poorly ...

Photographs before (left) and after (right) the May 2023 landslide in Mt Job, Mount Meager Volcanic Complex, British Columbia, Canada. The initial rock avalanche impacted the glacier, producing a 4.5‐km‐long debris flow that ran over it and down the valley.

On the Kamchatka Peninsula, a number of glaciers are covered by thick volcanic debris, which makes their margins difficult to delineate from satellite imagery. Fortunately, high resolution, multi-temporal digital surface models (DSMs) covering the entire

Evaluating glacial change and the subsequent water stores in high mountains is becoming increasingly necessary, and in order to do this, models need reliable and consistent glacier data.

Abstract We use a three‐dimensional time‐dependent glacier model that couples higher‐order ice flow dynamics with multi‐dimensional englacial and supraglacial debris transport to investigate the behavior of debris‐covered glaciers and their response to climate change.

Assessing glacier retreat and landform production at the ‘debris-charged’ snout of Kvíárjökull, Iceland [PDF]
Iceland is a critical location for the study of glacier fluctuations and landform production in response to climate change due to its diverse glacial legacy and its archive of aerial photographs that provide accurately dated records of glacier retreat ...

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

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