Response of debris-covered glaciers in the Mount Everest region to recent warming, and implications for outburst flood hazards
In areas of high relief, many glaciers have extensive covers of supraglacial debris in their
ablation zones, which alters both rates and spatial patterns of melting, with important …

Influence of debris cover and altitude on glacier surface melting: a case study on Dokriani Glacier, central Himalaya, India
Most of the central Himalayan glaciers have surface debris layers of variable thickness,
which greatly affect the ablation rate. An attempt has been made to relate debris-cover …
