The role of cold volcanic debris in glacier ablation. AGU fall meeting EP51B-0846 (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Debris deposits on ice can either enhance or hinder glacial ablation relative to a clean ice surface. The effect of debris on ice is dependent on whether its thickness is above or below a critical thickness. This is the thickness at which ablation of...

The significance of volcanic ash fall for Earth’s glaciers (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Worldwide glacier mass changes are key indicators of global climatic change [1]. The effect of volcanic air fall, which may enhance or hinder ablation depending primarily on deposit thickness, is a potentially important driver of glacial change. Belo...
