Elevation Change Rates of Glaciers in the Lahaul-Spiti (Western Himalaya, India) during 2000–2012 and 2012–2013

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2016
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 ...

Landsystems of the tropical high Peruvian Andes: Glaciers, lakes, wetlands and water resources in the Cordillera Vilcanota

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
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 ...

Characterisation and multiphase flow modelling of a rock avalanche turned into a supraglacial debris flow: Insights from Mt Job, British Columbia, Canada

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
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.

Using ArcticDEM to Analyse the Dimensions and Dynamics of Debris-Covered Glaciers in Kamchatka, Russia

open access: yesGeosciences, 2018
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

An integrated deep learning and object-based image analysis approach for mapping debris-covered glaciers

open access: yesFrontiers in Remote Sensing, 2023
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.

Coupling Debris Transport to 3D Higher‐Order Ice Flow Dynamics to Model the Behavior and Climate Change Response of Debris‐Covered Glaciers

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
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]

open access: yes, 2010
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

open access: yesAnnals 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

open access: yesGeophysical 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 ...

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

open access: yesRemote 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.
