Beyond Rock Glaciers: Investigating Meltwater Contribution and Water Quality in High‐Mountain Springs From Different Landforms

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 4, April 2026.
We investigated the water chemistry of springs from different landforms in high‐elevation Alpine catchments. Only in predisposing lithological settings, springs from landforms most likely influenced by ice had a poor water quality with high dissolved concentrations of metals.

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,

Stratigraphic evidence for modern‐like glacier extents in south‐central Alaska within the last glacial period (MIS 3)

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 476-502, April 2026.
The last (Wisconsinan) glacial period was punctuated in North America by two glacial maxima, known as the Early and Late Wisconsinan glaciations. In Alaska, these maxima and their subsequent retreats have been the object of dating efforts to reconstruct local climatic events and compare them to global trends.

Glacier‐Atmosphere Interactions and Feedbacks in High‐Mountain Regions ‐ A Review

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Mountain glaciers are among the natural systems most vulnerable to climate change. However, their interactions with the atmosphere are complex and not fully understood. These interactions can trigger rapid adjustments and climate feedbacks that either amplify or attenuate atmospheric signals, influencing both glacier response and large‐scale ...

Revealing the Internal Structure of Mars‐Analog Glaciers From Drone‐Based Radar Sounding

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Martian debris‐covered glaciers (DCGs) contain large quantities of water ice beneath a protective layer of rock and dust. Properties of the overlying regolith such as density and depth to ice are critical parameters for guiding in situ resource utilization (ISRU) of water and coring missions targeting potential habitats.

Mapping Debris-Covered Glaciers Using High-Resolution Imagery (GF-2) and Deep Learning Algorithms

Remote Sensing
Glacier inventories are fundamental in understanding glacier dynamics and glacier-related environmental processes. High-resolution mapping of glacier outlines is lacking, although high-resolution satellite images have become available in recent decades ...

Lichen Growth on Supraglacial Debris and its Implications for Lichenometric Studies [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology, 1978
AbstractLichens were found growing on some of the supraglacial debris of six small, active, retreating valley glaciers in southern Norway. The circumstances permitting their growth are discussed, as is the possibility of their surviving pro-glacial deposition under current and past conditions.

Palaeoglacier reconstruction and dynamics of Cordillera Vilcanota in the tropical high Peruvian Andes

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
We provide a geomorphological analysis of Cordillera Vilcanota and use morphostratigraphic principles to reconstruct palaeo icefield extent and palaeoglacier readvances, likely during the Antarctic Cold Reversal and Younger Dryas. We find evidence of temperate and polythermal ice margins, with limited glaciofluvial landform generation.

Seasonal variations in proglacial lake area revealed by high spatial resolution planetscope satellite imagery

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
High‐resolution PlanetScope imagery reveals seasonal variations in proglacial lake area are underestimated by ~7% in moderate‐resolution data, while use of a single summer image can underestimate annual maximum area by ~2%. Capturing these seasonal variations provides valuable insights into the factors driving lake dynamics at Fjallsárlón, Iceland ...
