DOI: 10.1002/esp.4236
Abstract: The water storage and energy transfer roles of supraglacial ponds are poorly constrained, yet they are thought to be important components of debris-covered glacier ablation budgets. We used an unmanned surface vessel (USV) to collect… read more here.

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.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2018.03.015
Abstract: Abstract Alpine ice varies from pure ice glaciers to partially debris-covered glaciers to rock glaciers, as defined by the degree of debris cover. In many low- to mid-latitude mountain ranges, the few bare ice glaciers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2021.107855
Abstract: Abstract Iran's glaciers are commonly debris-covered. Due to climate changes, the frequency of glacial hazards such as glacial lake outbursts floods is increasing, and consequently, the mass of Iran's glaciers is decreasing. Fieldwork in high-altitude… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rse.2017.12.028
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.
