Glacier and rock glacier changes since the 1950s in the La Laguna catchment, Chile

Benjamin Aubrey Robson et al.

Summary: Glaciers and rock glaciers in the semi-arid northern Chile have shown different responses to climate change. Most glaciers in the region have rapidly lost mass over the last few decades, while the changes in rock glaciers are less understood. Climatological analyses indicate a general increase in air temperature, decrease in humidity, and variable precipitation since the 1980s. Severe droughts since 2010 have led to negative mass balances for both glaciers and rock glaciers in the area.

Major atmospheric particulate matter sources for glaciers in Coquimbo Region, Chile

Francisco Barraza et al.

Summary: Tapado Glacier in Chile has been retreating over the past 60 years due to diminishing precipitation rates, rising temperatures, and likely atmospheric pollutant deposition. A study identified natural and anthropogenic sources of air pollution deposited on the glacier, including Aeolian dust, weathered sulphates, anthropogenic nitrates, and coastal aerosols. Despite being located over 4000 meters above sea level, anthropogenic pollutants from cities and coastal areas were found to contribute to air pollution on the glacier.

Accelerated global glacier mass loss in the early twenty-first century

Romain Hugonnet et al.

Summary: The study found that glaciers around the world are melting at an accelerated rate, with contrasting patterns of mass loss in different geographical regions. Overall, glaciers are losing mass more rapidly, with similar or even larger acceleration rates than Greenland or Antarctic ice sheets taken separately. These findings also highlight the importance of understanding drivers that influence glacier change to predict future changes and mitigate the impacts of sea-level rise.

Novel Machine Learning Method Integrating Ensemble Learning and Deep Learning for Mapping Debris-Covered Glaciers

Yijie Lu et al.

Summary: This study focused on mapping debris-covered glaciers using a combination of technologies such as random forest (RF) and convolutional neural network (CNN) models. Performance of different classifiers were compared, strategies for classifier construction were optimized, and multiple single-classifier outputs were obtained with slight differences. The study found that debris coverage directly determined the performance of the machine learning model and integrated various classification models to ascertain the best for the classification of glaciers.

Modelling steady states and the transient response of debris-covered glaciers

James C. Ferguson et al.

Summary: Debris-covered glaciers, with their insulating effect of supraglacial debris, exhibit a more complex response to climate change compared to debris-free glaciers. Numerical modelling reveals that thick debris cover delays the volume and length response of glaciers to a warming climate signal, while cryokarst features like ice cliffs and supraglacial ponds enhance the length response and lead to substantial mass loss and thinning on debris-covered tongues.

Ice content and interannual water storage changes of an active rock glacier in the dry Andes of Argentina

Christian Halla et al.

Summary: Quantification of ice and water content in active rock glaciers in the Andes of Argentina is crucial for estimating their role as water stores and contributors to runoff in dry mountain catchments. Despite their potential as important water reservoirs, water storage capacities and interannual changes have not been quantified in detailed field studies.
