Spatio-temporal variability and energy-balance implications of surface ponds on Himalayan debris-covered glaciers
Surface ponds play a key role in transferring atmospheric energy to the ice for debris-covered glaciers, but as the spatial and temporal distribution of ponds is not well documented, their effect on glacier ablation is unknown. This thesis uses remote sensing and field methods to assess the distribu...
