Ice‐Dynamical Glacier Evolution Modeling—A Review
Glaciers play a crucial role in the Earth System: they are important water suppliers to lower‐
lying areas during hot and dry periods, and they are major contributors to the observed …

Controls on the relative melt rates of debris-covered glacier surfaces
Supraglacial debris covers 7% of mountain glacier area globally and generally reduces
glacier surface melt. Enhanced energy absorption at ice cliffs and supraglacial ponds …

Controls on Ice Cliff Distribution and Characteristics on Debris‐Covered Glaciers
Ice cliff distribution plays a major role in determining the melt of debris‐covered glaciers but
its controls are largely unknown. We assembled a data set of 37,537 ice cliffs and …

Future growth and decline of high mountain Asia's ice-dammed lakes and associated risk
Glaciers around the world are shrinking rapidly and will continue to do so in the next
decades. Anticipating the consequences resulting from such glacier changes is key to …

Comparing the evolution of debris-free and debris-covered glaciers during the end of the Lateglacial and the Holocene in Dudh Koshi basin, Everest region, Nepal
Debris-covered glaciers are very frequent geomorphological features in Khumbu Himal
(Nepal). Rock debris on the glacier surface play a significant role in glacier-climate …

Projected 21st-century glacial lake evolution in High Mountain Asia
In High Mountain Asia (HMA), rising temperatures and retreating glaciers are leading to the
formation of new glacial lakes and the expansion of existing ones. The sudden release of …

[HTML][HTML] Coincident evolution of glaciers and ice-marginal proglacial lakes across the Southern Alps, New Zealand: Past, present and future
Global glacier mass loss is causing expansion of proglacial landscapes and producing
meltwater that can become impounded as lakes within natural topographic depressions or …

Influence of glacier inventories on ice thickness estimates and future glacier change projections in the Tian Shan range, Central Asia
The Tian Shan mountain range, known as the water towers of Central Asia, plays a key role
in local water supply, yet large uncertainties remain about the amount of water that is stored …

Glacier projections sensitivity to temperature-index model choices and calibration strategies
The uncertainty of glacier change projections is largely influenced by glacier models. In this
study, we focus on temperature-index mass-balance (MB) models and their calibration …
