Empirical and thermal resistance approaches for debris thickness estimation on the Hoksar Glacier, Kashmir Himalaya

Supraglacial debris modulates the thermal regime and alters glacial melt rates depending on its thickness. Thus, the estimation of debris thickness becomes imperative for predicting the hydrological response and dynamics of such glaciers. This study tests the performance of empirical and thermal res...
