PLANT AND ARTHROPOD COMMUNITIES OF ALPINE ICE-RELATED LANDFORMS: ECOLOGICAL AND BIOGEOGRAPHIC IMPORTANCE
… glacial sites (Peirabroc, Clapier and Calderone glaciers) in peripheral mountain chains (Maritime Alps and Apennines, Italy, respectively). In these studies also important environmental parameters (e.g. debris thickness, soil temperatures and chemical parameters) have been correlated with …

Wind and temperature in a glacierised Himalayan valley, and their controlling mechanisms
… wind regime and temperature lapse rate for the glacierised Dudh Koshi River Basin in the Nepalese Himalaya, which includes the Khumbu Glacier, by utilising results from a high-resolution atmospheric model and measurements from a field campaign. First, the mechanisms controlling the local wind …

Spatio-temporal variability and energy-balance implications of surface ponds on Himalayan debris-covered glaciers
… transferring atmospheric energy to the ice for debris-covered glaciers, but as the spatial and temporal distribution of ponds is not well documented, their effect on glacier ablation is unknown. This thesis uses remote sensing and field methods to assess the distribution of supraglacial ponds in …

The hydrology of debris-covered glaciers
Studies of glacier-hydrology have focused on clean Alpine glaciers, and recently ice sheet outlet glaciers, but there are few studies on debris-covered glaciers. It is known debris affects ablation rates, and that debris-covered glaciers evolve differently to their debris-free counterparts, but how …

Utilisation of remote sensing for the study of debris-covered glaciers: development and testing of techniques on Miage Glacier, Italian Alps
An increase in the number of debris-covered glaciers and expansion of debris cover across many glaciers has been documented in many of the world’s major glacierised mountain ranges over the last 100 years. Debris cover has a profound impact on glacier mass balance with thick layers insulating the …
