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 …

High-resolution monitoring of Himalayan glacier dynamics using unmanned aerial vehicles
Himalayan glacier tongues are commonly debris covered and they are an important source
of melt water. However, they remain relatively unstudied because of the inaccessibility of the …

Distributed global debris thickness estimates reveal debris significantly impacts glacier mass balance
Supraglacial debris affects glacier mass balance as a thin layer enhances surface melting,
while a thick layer reduces it. While many glaciers are debris‐covered, global glacier models …

[HTML][HTML] Ice cliff contribution to the tongue-wide ablation of Changri Nup Glacier, Nepal, central Himalaya
Ice cliff backwasting on debris-covered glaciers is recognized as an important mass-loss
process that is potentially responsible for the “debris-cover anomaly”, ie the fact that debris …

Reduced melt on debris-covered glaciers: investigations from Changri Nup Glacier, Nepal
Approximately 25% of the glacierized area in the Everest region is covered by debris, yet the
surface mass balance of debris-covered portions of these glaciers has not been measured …

Unraveling the hydrology of a Himalayan catchment through integration of high resolution in situ data and remote sensing with an advanced simulation model
The hydrology of high-elevation watersheds of the Hindu Kush-Himalaya region (HKH) is
poorly known. The correct representation of internal states and process dynamics in glacio …
