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 …

The role of differential ablation and dynamic detachment in driving accelerating mass loss from a debris‐covered Himalayan glacier
Sustained mass loss from Himalayan glaciers is causing supraglacial debris to expand and
thicken, with the expectation that thicker debris will suppress ablation and extend glacier …

Supraglacial debris thickness and supply rate in High-Mountain Asia
Supraglacial debris strongly modulates glacier melt rates and can be decisive for ice
dynamics and mountain hydrology. It is ubiquitous in High-Mountain Asia, yet because its …

Morphology and evolution of supraglacial hummocks on debris‐covered Himalayan glaciers
Thick supraglacial debris layers often have an undulating, hummocky topography that
influences the lateral transport of debris and meltwater and provides basins for supraglacial …
