© 2018 Elsevier B.V. The Antarctic ice sheet is predicted to be the major contributor to sea-level rise during the XXI century. Therefore, monitoring ice dynamics of outlet glaciers in Antarctica is of great importance to ...

We present spatial patterns of glacier fluctuations from the Cordillera Blanca, Peru, (glacier area, terminus elevations, median elevations and hypsography) at decadal timescales derived from 1970 aerial photography, 2003 ...

This paper presents an updated, extensive review of glacier fluctuations during the past 1000 years in the extratropical Andes of South America between ca. 17° and 55°S. Given the variety of environmental conditions and ...

A number of glaciological observations on debris-covered glaciers around the globe have shown a delayed length and mass adjustment in relation to climate variability, a behavior normally attributed to the ice insulation ...

Mass balance of a glacier is an accepted measure of how much mass a glacier gains or loses. In theory, it is typically computed by integral functional and empirically, it is approximated by arithmetic mean. However, the ...

Peruvian glaciers are important contributors to dry season runoff for agriculture and hydropower, but they are at risk of disappearing due to climate change. We applied a physically based, energy balance melt model at five ...

Mass balance of a glacier is an accepted measure of how much mass a glacier gains or loses. In theory, it is typically computed by integral functional and empirically, it is approximated by arithmetic mean. However, the ...

We apply cross-correlation to Pléiades satellite images to generate accurate, highresolution monthly surface velocity maps of Monte Tronador glaciers between March and June 2012. Measured surface displacements cover periods ...

Suspended and bedload transport dynamics on rivers draining glacierized basins depend on complex processes of runoff generation along with the degree of sediment connectivity and coupling at the basin scale. This thesis ...
