Glacier Monitoring in Ladakh and Zanskar, northwestern India
Glaciers in the Himalaya are often heavily covered with supraglacial debris, making them difficult to study with remotely-sensed imagery alone. Various methods such as band ratios can be used effectively to map clean-ice glaciers; however, a thicker layer of debris often makes it impossible to …

The effectiveness of spaceborne synthetic aperture radar for glacier monitoring
… in particular its ability to discriminate glacier surface facies in order to estimate glacier mass balance. A multitemporal C-band SAR dataset of Nordenskiold Land, Spitsbergen, acquired by the ERS-1 satellite, is used for the analysis, which focuses on mountain glaciers rather than ice …

INVENTORY OF MONGOLIAN GLACIERS FOR THE GLOBAL LAND ICE MEASUREMENTS FROM SPACE (GLIMS) PROGRAM
Glaciers in the Altai Mountains of Mongolia provide an estimated 10 % of the total water resources within the country. Yet, the number and area of glaciers within the Altai Mountains is inconsistent and conflicting. Glacier mapping attempts by previous author groups did not mention their mapping …

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 …

APPLICATION OF CARBON CREDITS IN THE ITALIAN AND PAKISTANI AGRI-FOOD SECTOR
… like Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2, to monitor glacier dynamics. This includes tracking glacier retreats, analyzing melt patterns, and assessing changes in ice mass in regions impacted by GHG emissions, such as Pakistan. Advanced remote sensing techniques offer a more efficient, cost-effective, …
