Glaciation of alpine valleys: The glacier–debris-covered glacier–rock glacier continuum
Alpine ice varies from pure ice glaciers to partially debris-covered glaciers to rock glaciers,
as defined by the degree of debris cover. In many low-to mid-latitude mountain ranges, the …

Hydrology of debris-covered glaciers in High Mountain Asia
The hydrological characteristics of debris-covered glaciers are known to be fundamentally
different from those of clean-ice glaciers, even within the same climatological, geological …

Impact of a global temperature rise of 1.5 degrees Celsius on Asia's glaciers
Glaciers in the high mountains of Asia (HMA) make a substantial contribution to the water
supply of millions of people,, and they are retreating and losing mass as a result of …

The state of rock debris covering Earth's glaciers
S Herreid, F Pellicciotti - Nature Geoscience, 2020 - nature.com
Rock debris can accumulate on glacier surfaces and dramatically reduce glacier melt. The
structure of a debris cover is unique to each glacier and sensitive to climate. Despite this …

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 …

Supraglacial ice cliffs can substantially increase the mass loss of debris‐covered glaciers
The thinning patterns of debris‐covered glaciers in High Mountain Asia are not well
understood. Here we calculate the effect of supraglacial ice cliffs on the mass balance of all …

[HTML][HTML] Contrasting geometric and dynamic evolution of lake and land-terminating glaciers in the central Himalaya
The impact of glacial lake development on the evolution of glaciers in the Himalaya is poorly
quantified, despite the increasing prevalence of supraglacial and proglacial water bodies …
