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 semiarid climates, a significant component of recharge to basin aquifers occurs along the
mountain front. Traditionally called" mountain-front recharge"(MFR), this process has been …

Abstract Melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is the largest single contributor to eustatic
sea level and is amplified by the growth of pigmented algae on the ice surface, which …

Extensive covers of supraglacial debris are often present in glacier ablation areas, and it is
essential to assess exactly how the debris affects glacier melt rates. This paper presents a …

We investigate the performance of five glacier melt models over a multi-decadal period in
order to assess their ability to model future glacier response. The models range from a …

One of the primary controls upon the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is albedo, a
measure of how much solar radiation that hits a surface is reflected without being absorbed …

We use meteorological data from two automatic weather stations (AWS) on Juncal Norte
Glacier, central Chile, to investigate the glacier–climate interaction and to test ablation …

In order to account for the effects of debris cover in model scenarios of the response of
glaciers to climate change and water resource planning, it is important to know the …

Glacier mass balance shows a spatially heterogeneous pattern in response to global
warming on the Tibetan Plateau (TP), and the climate mechanisms controlling this pattern …

Evidence of small glaciers is often used to infer past atmospheric climate through calculation
of steady-state ELAs. However, if topographic niches such as shading or windblown-snow …
