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.

Abstract: Supraglacial ponds play a key role in absorbing atmospheric energy and directing it to the ice of debris-covered glaciers, but the spatial and temporal distribution of these features is not well documented. We analyse 172… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/jog.2021.76
Abstract: Supraglacial ponds and ice cliffs can dramatically enhance ablation rates on debris-covered glaciers. Supraglacial ponds can also coalesce, forming moraine-dammed lakes at risk of glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF). Given Bhutanese glaciers have some of… read more here.
