CR6.2 Debris covered glaciers |
Convener: Lindsey Nicholson | Co-Conveners: Benjamin Brock , Christoph Mayer |
This session aims to draw together knowledge on all aspects of debris-covered glacier systems, and we invite contributions including, but not limited to, (i) origins and characteristics of supraglacial debris cover; (ii) measurements or modeling of energy balance of debris-covered ice; (iii) mass balance measurements or modeling of debris-covered glaciers; (iv) the impact of debris cover on glacier dynamics; (v) depositional records of debris-covered glaciers, reconstructions of former glaciers and climatic interpretations of the depositional record; (vi) hydrology of debris-covered glaciers and the development of associated glacier lake outburst flood hazards and (v) remote sensing and field techniques for measuring properties of debris covered glaciers.
