Debris-covered glacier systems and associated glacial lake outburst flood hazards: challenges and prospects
Glaciers respond sensitively to climate variability and change, with associated impacts on
meltwater production, sea-level rise and geomorphological hazards. There is a strong …

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 …

Continuous borehole optical televiewing reveals variable englacial debris concentrations at Khumbu Glacier, Nepal
Abstract Surface melting of High Mountain Asian debris-covered glaciers shapes the
seasonal water supply to millions of people. This melt is strongly influenced by the spatially …

Ice cliff dynamics of debris-covered Trakarding glacier in the Rolwaling region, Nepal Himalaya
Ice cliffs can act as “hot spots” for melt on debris-covered glaciers and promote local glacier
mass loss. Repeat high-resolution remote-sensing data are therefore required to monitor the …
