The Hydrological System of Storglaciären, Sweden: Integrating Modelling with Observations
There is a need for more studies in glacier hydrology that integrate numerical models with detailed empirical data collected over one/multiple summer(s). This is especially true for physically based models whose main advantage lies in ability to predict basal water pressure because of its …

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 …

Observing the Seasonal Evolution of Supraglacial Ponds in High Mountain Asia: A Supervised Classification Approach
Supraglacial ponds on debris covered glaciers in High Mountain Asia (HMA) can locally store surface runoff and prolong water delivery to downstream river basins (Benn et al., 2012; Miles et al., 2019). Temporal variation in the extent of supraglacial ponding therefore affects the timing and …

Modelling the Hydrology of the Greenland Ice Sheet
There is increasing recognition that the hydrology of the Greenland Ice Sheet plays an important role in the dynamics and therefore mass balance of the ice sheet. Understanding the hydrology of the ice sheet and being able to predict its future behaviour is therefore a key aspect of glaciological …

Glacier retreat and projected river regime changes in the hydrologically highly-coupled Virkisjökull catchment, SE Iceland
Virkisjökull is an outlet glacier of the Öræfajökull icecap in SE Iceland and currently covers 60% of its catchment, though this is reducing. Fieldwork and catchment monitoring activities for this project over the last 4 years includes measurement of ice ablation, proglacial discharge, dye-tracing …
