Sediment supply from lateral moraines to a debris-covered glacier in the Himalaya
<p>Debris-covered glaciers in the Himalaya play an important role in the high-altitude water cycle. The thickness of the debris layer is a key control of the melt rate of those glaciers, yet little is known about the relative importance of the three potential sources of debris supply: the rock...
