Global glacier change in the 21st century: Every increase in temperature matters
Glacier mass loss affects sea level rise, water resources, and natural hazards. We present
global glacier projections, excluding the ice sheets, for shared socioeconomic pathways …

Debris-covered glacier systems and associated glacial lake outburst flood hazards: challenges and prospects
Glaciers respond sensitively to climate variability and change, with associated impacts on
meltwater production, sea-level rise and geomorphological hazards. There is a strong …

Ice‐Dynamical Glacier Evolution Modeling—A Review
Glaciers play a crucial role in the Earth System: they are important water suppliers to lower‐
lying areas during hot and dry periods, and they are major contributors to the observed …

The New Swiss Glacier Inventory SGI2016: from a topographical to a glaciological dataset
Glaciers in Switzerland are shrinking rapidly in response to ongoing climate change.
Repeated glacier inventories are key to monitor such changes at the regional scale. Here …

[HTML][HTML] Spatial variability in melting on Himalayan debris-covered glaciers from 2000 to 2013
F Chen, J Wang, B Li, A Yang, M Zhang - Remote Sensing of Environment, 2023 - Elsevier
Glaciers covered by debris are widespread in the Himalayas. Debris layer makes the
melting process of glaciers complicated, and the correlation between the spatial melt …

Modeling potential glacial lake outburst flood process chains and effects from artificial lake‐level lowering at Gepang Gath lake, Indian Himalaya
Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are a severe threat to communities in the Himalayas;
however, GLOF mitigation strategies have been implemented for only a few lakes, and future …

Controls on the relative melt rates of debris-covered glacier surfaces
Supraglacial debris covers 7% of mountain glacier area globally and generally reduces
glacier surface melt. Enhanced energy absorption at ice cliffs and supraglacial ponds …

Controls on Ice Cliff Distribution and Characteristics on Debris‐Covered Glaciers
Ice cliff distribution plays a major role in determining the melt of debris‐covered glaciers but
its controls are largely unknown. We assembled a data set of 37,537 ice cliffs and …

The causes of debris-covered glacier thinning: Evidence for the importance of ice dynamics from Kennicott Glacier, Alaska
The cause of debris-covered glacier thinning remains controversial. One hypothesis asserts
that melt hotspots (ice cliffs, ponds, or thin debris) increase thinning, while the other posits …

Modelling supraglacial debris-cover evolution from the single-glacier to the regional scale: an application to High Mountain Asia
Currently, about 12%–13% of High Mountain Asia's glacier area is debris-covered, which
alters its surface mass balance. However, in regional-scale modelling approaches, debris …
