This session aims to bring together sedimentologists, geologists, geomorphologists, numerical modellers, climatologists, and process glaciologists to promote knowledge exchange in debris-covered glacier and supraglacial debris research, with a focus on how debris-covered glaciers form and evolve in our changing climate. We seek talks and posters covering a broad range of themes that advance understanding of debris-covered glaciers, including, but not limited to i) debris sources in mountainous glacial environments, ii) debris transport pathways and sediment dynamics, iii) long-term evolution of debris cover and debris thickness, and iv) consequences of debris-cover change on glacial processes. We encourage submissions that utilise remote sensing, field observations and/or numerical modelling, those from a range of high-mountain environments, and which explore both contemporary and palaeo-glacial settings.
