DOI: 10.1002/esp.4973
Abstract: There exists a need to advance our understanding of debris‐covered glacier surfaces over relatively short timescales due to rapid, climatically induced areal expansion of debris cover at the global scale, and the impact debris has… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Supraglacial debris complicates the melting state of debris-covered glaciers, and whether debris increases or decreases the rate of glacier melt is ambiguous according to different observations. In this paper, we aim to determine the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-34327-5
Abstract: Runoff from high-elevation debris-covered glaciers represents a crucial water supply for millions of people in the Hindu Kush-Himalaya region, where peak water has already passed in places. Knowledge of glacier thermal regime is essential for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/access.2020.2991187
Abstract: Rising global temperatures over the past decades is directly affecting glacier dynamics. To understand glacier fluctuations and document regional glacier-state trends, glacier-boundary detection is necessary. Debris-covered glacier (DCG) mapping, however, is notoriously difficult using conventional… read more here.
