Seasonal changes in surface albedo of Himalayan glaciers from MODIS data and links with the annual mass balance

Few glaciological field data are available on glaciers in the Hindu Kush–Karakoram–Himalayan (HKH) region, and remote sensing data are thus critical for glacier studies in this region. The main objectives of this study are to document, using satellite images, the seasonal changes of surface al...
