Supraglacial debris affects glacier mass balance as a thin layer enhances surface melting,
while a thick layer reduces it. While many glaciers are debris‐covered, global glacier models …

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 …

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 …

During the 2005–2007 June–September ablation seasons, meteorological conditions were
recorded on the lower and upper parts of the debris‐covered ablation zone of Miage Glacier …

A layer of debris cover often accumulates across the surface of glaciers in active mountain
ranges with exceptionally steep terrain, such as the Andes, Himalaya, and New Zealand …

Map** of debris-covered glaciers using remote-sensing techniques is recognized as one
of the greatest challenges for generating glacier inventories and automated glacier change …

This study investigates spatial patterns in glacier characteristics and area changes at
decadal scales in the eastern Himalaya–Nepal (Arun and Tamor basins), India (Teesta …

Debris cover is widely present in glacier ablation areas of the Tibetan Plateau, and its spatial
distribution greatly affects glacier melt rates. High-resolution in situ measurements of debris …

The Belvedere glacier is an intensively studied glacier in the Italian Alps on the east face of
the Monte Rosa, which is currently undergoing a fast deglaciation connected to various …

Bringing together experts in the field of remote sensing of glaciers, this book covers topics
ranging from early terrestrial photogrammetry to the latest airborne laser and satellite radar …
