Geomorphological evolution of a debris‐covered glacier surface
(Wiley, 2020)
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 ...
Modelling the hydrological response of debris-free and debris-covered glaciers to present climatic conditions in the semiarid Andes of central Chile
(Wiley, 2016)
We apply the process-based, distributed TOPKAPI-ETH glacio-hydrological model to a glacierized catchment (19% glacierized) in the semiarid Andes of central Chile. The semiarid Andes provides vital freshwater resources to ...
Classification of debris-covered glaciers and rock glaciers in the Andes of central Chile
(Elsevier, 2015)
In the Dry Andes of Chile (17 to 35 degrees S), debris-covered glaciers and rock glaciers are differentiated from true glaciers based on the percentage of surface debris cover, thickness of surface debris, and ice content. ...
Debris flows in the Andean ranges of central Chile and Argentina triggered by 2013 summer storms: characteristics and consequences
(Springer, 2015)
In January and February 2013, heavy rainfall during local
summer storms triggered a large number of landslides in the
Andes Main and Frontal ranges of central Chile and Argentina
(32°–34° S). Most of the mass movements ...
Rain-induced debris and mudflow triggering factors assessment in the Santiago cordilleran foothills, Central Chile
(SPRINGER, 2008-11)
Debris and mudflows are some of the main geological hazards in the mountain
foothills of the Chilean capital city of Santiago. There, the risk of flows triggered in the
basins of ravines that drain the range into the ...
Anthropogenic marine debris over beaches: Spectral characterization for remote sensing applications
(Elsevier Inc., 2018)
Anthropogenic Marine Debris (AMD) is one of the most important pollutants in the oceans. Millions of tons of debris across oceans have created a critical environmental problem. This study presents a novel method aimed to ...
Case Study of the Characteristics and Dynamic Process of July 10, 2013, Catastrophic Debris Flows in Wenchuan County, China
(Universidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Bogotá - Facultad de Ciencias - Departamento de Geociencia, 2016-04-01)
The Wenchuan earthquake of May 12, 2008, generated a significant amount of loose solid material that can produce devastating debris flows. In the five years since the earthquake, there have been many large-scale individual ...
Interannual variability in glacier contribution to runoff from a high-elevation Andean catchment: understanding the role of debris cover in glacier hydrology
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2019)
© 2018 The Authors. Hydrological Processes published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. We present a field-data rich modelling analysis to reconstruct the climatic forcing, glacier response, and runoff generation from a high-elevation ...
Atomic gas in debris discs
(Oxford University, 2017)
We have conducted a search for optical circumstellar absorption lines in the spectra of 16 debris disc host stars. None of the stars in our sample showed signs of emission line activity in either Hα, CaII or Na I, confirming ...
BINARIES AMONG DEBRIS DISK STARS
(2012-02-01)
We have gathered a sample of 112 main-sequence starswith known debris disks.We collected published information
and performed adaptive optics observations at Lick Observatory to determine if these debris disks are ...
