Reduced melt on debris-covered glaciers: investigations from Changri Nup Glacier, Nepal
Approximately 25 % of the glacierized area in the Everest region is covered by debris, yet the surface mass balance of debris-covered portions of these glaciers has not been measured directly. In this study, ground-based measurements of surface elevation and ice depth are combined with terrestrial p...
