Hobbs, L., Gilbert, J., & Lane, S. (2011, December). The role of cold volcanic debris in glacier ablation. AGU fall meeting EP51B-0846. Presented at AGU Fall Meeting 2011, San Francisco, USA

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...
