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 …

An energy-balance model for debris-covered glaciers including heat conduction through the debris layer
TD Reid, BW Brock - Journal of Glaciology, 2010 - cambridge.org
Extensive covers of supraglacial debris are often present in glacier ablation areas, and it is
essential to assess exactly how the debris affects glacier melt rates. This paper presents a …
