Distributed global debris thickness estimates reveal debris significantly impacts glacier mass balance
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Ice cliff contribution to the tongue-wide ablation of Changri Nup Glacier, Nepal, central Himalaya
Ice cliff backwasting on debris-covered glaciers is recognized as an important mass-loss
process that is potentially responsible for the “debris-cover anomaly”, ie the fact that debris …

Reduced melt on debris-covered glaciers: investigations from Changri Nup Glacier, Nepal
Approximately 25% of the glacierized area in the Everest region is covered by debris, yet the
surface mass balance of debris-covered portions of these glaciers has not been measured …

Object-based analysis of unmanned aerial vehicle imagery to map and characterise surface features on a debris-covered glacier
Debris-covered glaciers in the Himalaya may have spatially-averaged rates of surface
height change that are similar to those observed on bare-ice glaciers, despite the insulating …

Heterogeneous glacier thinning patterns over the last 40 years in Langtang Himal, Nepal
This study presents volume and mass changes of seven (five partially debris-covered, two
debris-free) glaciers in the upper Langtang catchment in Nepal. We use a digital elevation …
