Unlike glaciers in other parts of the world, Karakoram glaciers seem to be stable or gaining
in mass in response to global climate change, a phenomenon known as 'the Karakoram …

In response to climatic change, the size and number of moraine-dammed supraglacial and
proglacial lake systems have increased dramatically in recent decades. Given an …

There are an increasing number of digital elevation models (DEMs) available worldwide for
deriving elevation differences over time, including vertical changes on glaciers. Most of …

Glaciers and their changes through time are increasingly obtained from a wide range of
satellite sensors. Due to the often remote location of glaciers in inaccessible and high …

Automated glacier map** from satellite multispectral image data is hampered by debris
cover on glacier surfaces. Supraglacial debris exhibits the same spectral properties as …

Glacial hazards such as ice avalanches, glacial lake outburst floods, and debris flows have
caused severe damage in populated mountain regions such as the Swiss Alps. Assessment …

The present study evaluates the fusion of DEMs from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal
Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) instrument and the Shuttle Radar …

On 16–18 June 2008 the US National Snow and Ice Data Center held a GLIMS workshop in
Boulder, CO, USA, focusing on formulating procedures and best practices for operational …

We present spatial patterns of glacier fluctuations from the Cordillera Blanca, Peru,(glacier
area, terminus elevations, median elevations and hypsography) at decadal timescales …

A massive rock/ice avalanche of about 100x10 6 m 3 volume took place on the northern
slope of the Kazbek massif, North Ossetia, Russian Caucasus, on 20 September 2002. The …
