Vanished glaciers of the Swiss Alps: An inventory-based assessment from 1973 to 2016 Open
This study presents the first nationwide assessment of vanished glaciers in Switzerland. By comparing the Swiss Glacier Inventories SGI1973 and SGI2016, we identify 1019 vanished glaciers, representing more than 40% of all glaciers invento…

Continuous monitoring of a glacier’s extinction Open
Pizolgletscher, Swiss Alps, was already a very small glacier when the monitoring of length change was initiated 130 years ago. In situ mass balance measurements at seasonal resolution began in 2006. During the last 18 years, the glacier ha…

The New Swiss Glacier Inventory SGI2016: From a Topographical to a Glaciological Dataset Open
Glaciers in Switzerland are shrinking rapidly in response to ongoing climate change. Repeated glacier inventories are key to monitor such changes at the regional scale. Here we present the new Swiss Glacier Inventory 2016 (SGI2016) that ha…

Ice thickness distribution of all Swiss glaciers based on extended ground-penetrating radar data and glaciological modeling Open
Accurate knowledge of the ice thickness distribution and glacier bed topography is essential for predicting dynamic glacier changes and the future developments of downstream hydrology, which are impacting the energy sector, tourism industr…

More than a century of direct glacier mass-balance observations on Claridenfirn, Switzerland Open
Glacier mass-balance observations at seasonal resolution have been performed since 1914 at two sites on Claridenfirn, Switzerland. The measurements are the longest uninterrupted records of glacier mass balance worldwide. Here, we provide a…

The new Swiss Glacier Inventory SGI2016: a detailed cartographic representation of Swiss glacier extent and supraglacial debris-cover Open
<p>With increasing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and corresponding global warming, glaciers in Switzerland are shrinking rapidly as in many mountain ranges on Earth. Repeated glacier inventories are a key task to monitor suc…

The new Swiss Glacier Inventory SGI2020: From a topographic to a glaciological dataset Open
<p>A glacier inventory describes the extent of all glaciers at a given point in time and in periods of rapid glacier change a frequent update is needed. The Swiss Glacier Inventory 2010 (SGI2010) is the last official inventory for Sw…

Modelling glaciers bed overdeepenings and possible future lakes in deglaciating landscapes of the French Alps Open
<p>Alpine glacier retreat due to global warming generates major landscape changes in high mountain environments. New lakes can potentially form in Glaciers Bed Overdeepenings (GBOs). Those new water bodies, sometimes located near pot…

Modelling future glacier evolution: Which feedbacks are relevant? Open
<div> <div>Numerous models to project the future evolution of mountain glaciers in response to ongoing climate change are available, both at the local and the global scale. However, a suite of partly major simplifications is ne…

Glacial lake evolution and glacier–lake interactions in the Poiqu River basin, central Himalaya, 1964–2017 Open
Despite previous studies, glacier–lake interactions and future lake development in the Poiqu River basin, central Himalaya, are still not well understood. We mapped glacial lakes, glaciers, their frontal positions and ice flow from optical…

How accurate are estimates of glacier ice thickness? Results from ITMIX, the Ice Thickness Models Intercomparison eXperiment Open
Knowledge of the ice thickness distribution of glaciers and ice caps is an important prerequisite for many glaciological and hydrological investigations. A wealth of approaches has recently been presented for inferring ice thickness from c…

Mass Balance Re-analysis of Findelengletscher, Switzerland; Benefits of Extensive Snow Accumulation Measurements Open
A re-analysis is presented here of a 10-year mass balance series at Findelengletscher, a temperate mountain glacier in Switzerland. Calculating glacier-wide mass balance from the set of glaciological point balance observations using conven…

Modelling glacier-bed overdeepenings and possible future lakes for the glaciers in the Himalaya—Karakoram region Open
Surface digital elevation models (DEMs) and slope-related estimates of glacier thickness enable modelling of glacier-bed topographies over large ice-covered areas. Due to the erosive power of glaciers, such bed topographies can contain num…
