The mountain cryosphere of mainland Europe is recognized to have important impacts on a
range of environmental processes. In this paper, we provide an overview on the current …

Modelling ice and snow melt is of large practical and scientific interest, including issues such
as water resource management, avalanche forecasting, glacier dynamics, hydrology and …

Glaciers and Glaciation is the classic textbook for all students of glaciation. Stimulating and
accessible, it has established a reputation as a comprehensive and essential resource. In …

Glaciers are key components of the mountain water towers of Asia and are vital for
downstream domestic, agricultural, and industrial uses. The glacier mass loss rate over the …

Streamflow in high-mountain Asia is influenced by meltwater from snow and glaciers, and
determining impacts of climate change on the region's cryosphere is essential to understand …

We present a computationally simple, theoretically based parameterization for the
broadband albedo of snow and ice that can accurately reproduce the theoretical broadband …

An enhanced temperature-index glacier melt model, incorporating incoming shortwave
radiation and albedo, is presented. The model is an attempt to combine the high temporal …

In the face of rapid climate warming, rapid glacier recession should lead to a marked
increase in the spatial extent of the paraglacial zone in glaciated drainage basins. The …

Mountain ranges are the world's natural water towers and provide water resources for
millions of people. However, their hydrological balance and possible future changes in river …

A grid-based surface energy-balance mass-balance model has been developed to simulate
snow-and ice melt in mountainous regions with an hourly resolution. The model is applied to …
