Modelling runoff generation in high-elevation Alpine catchments requires detailed
knowledge on the spatio-temporal distribution of snow storage. With Sentinel-2 MultiSpectral …

In 2011 four ice cores were extracted from the summit of Alto dell'Ortles (3859 m), the
highest glacier of South Tyrol in the Italian Alps. This drilling site is located only 37 km …

Understanding the hydrological and hydrochemical functioning of glacierized catchments
requires the knowledge of the different controlling factors and their mutual interplay. For this …

We present the first direct comparison of turbulence conditions measured simultaneously
over exposed ice and a 0.08 m thick supraglacial debris cover on Suldenferner, a small …

Alpine glaciers are shrinking at a relentless pace, as an effect of global warming. The impact
of these changes in the European Alps is relevant, given the importance of this territory from …

Distributed mass balance models, which translate micrometeorological conditions into local
melt rates, have proven deficient to reflect the energy flux variability on mountain glaciers …

Records of glacier mass balance represent important data in climate science and their
uncertainties affect calculations of sea level rise and other societally relevant environmental …

This work presents an analysis of the mass balance series of nine Italian glaciers, which
were selected based on the length, continuity and reliability of observations. All glaciers …

In this paper, we addressed a sensitivity analysis of the snow module of the GEOtop2. 0
model at point and catchment scale in a small high‐elevation catchment in the Eastern …

The systematic monitoring of glaciers is essential to both evaluate water resource availability
and better understand the effects of climate change. The increased speed of glacier …
