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 …

[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 …

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 …

Object-based analysis of unmanned aerial vehicle imagery to map and characterise surface features on a debris-covered glacier
Debris-covered glaciers in the Himalaya may have spatially-averaged rates of surface
height change that are similar to those observed on bare-ice glaciers, despite the insulating …

Heterogeneous glacier thinning patterns over the last 40 years in Langtang Himal, Nepal
This study presents volume and mass changes of seven (five partially debris-covered, two
debris-free) glaciers in the upper Langtang catchment in Nepal. We use a digital elevation …

Supraglacial ice cliffs can substantially increase the mass loss of debris‐covered glaciers
The thinning patterns of debris‐covered glaciers in High Mountain Asia are not well
understood. Here we calculate the effect of supraglacial ice cliffs on the mass balance of all …

Refined energy-balance modelling of a supraglacial pond, Langtang Khola, Nepal
Supraglacial ponds on debris-covered glaciers present a mechanism of atmosphere/glacier
energy transfer that is poorly studied, and only conceptually included in mass-balance …
