Summary: This study focuses on the changes in range and thickness of glaciers in ASPA No. 128 on King George Island in Antarctica from 1956 to 2015. The research shows that the retreat process of glaciers intensified in the last two decades, with the rate depending on the type of glacier front and influenced by rapid temperature increase and glacier surface longitudinal slope.

Summary: This study utilized satellite image archives to automatically map glacier retreat in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada, revealing an acceleration in area loss with time. Glacier fragmentation, disappearance, and proglacial lake development also accelerated, along with the retreat of glaciers to higher elevations. The study highlights the importance of annual resolution glacier inventories for planetary mapping of glaciers and glacier attributes.

Summary: Climate change affects the distribution and abundance of marine species, including kelp forests. This study proposes the use of a convolutional neural network to automatically detect kelp forest canopy cover from satellite imagery. The model performed well and allowed for the reconstruction of a 32-year time series in Baja California, Mexico. This cost-efficient tool contributes to long-term marine ecological monitoring and informed decision making.

Summary: Mapping topographic surfaces and monitoring their changes have been mostly done through remote sensing for the past eighty years. In recent years, there has been an increase in using small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) for mapping such surfaces. The accuracy of sUAS-derived elevation surfaces and their changes from multi-date comparisons have been evaluated, with the average accuracy of the sUAS-derived topographic surface reaching 0.022 meters after modeling and removing reference data errors.

Summary: China has the largest area of glaciers situated within the middle- and low-latitude areas worldwide. The rapid changes in mountain glaciers across western China in the last decades have affected ecosystems and socioeconomic activities. This study re-analyzes Chinese Glacier Inventories and provides a comprehensive assessment of glacier changes and associated influencing factors. The results show a significant decrease in glacier area and volume, along with a rise in Equilibrium Line Altitude. Climate conditions and regional characteristics play important roles in glacier change.

Summary: Measuring glacier elevation change is crucial for various purposes, such as estimating glacier mass balance, calibrating climate models, and assessing the impact of global warming. In this study, we explored the potential of clinometry as a technique to quantify glacier elevation changes. By analyzing shadow positions in monoscopic optical images, we were able to measure a glacier thinning rate of -1.9 +/- 1.7 ma(-1) between 2017 and 2021 for the Aletsch Glacier (Switzerland), consistent with previous observations.

Summary: Presently available information on the glacier equilibrium line altitude (ELA) is being collected and examined. The historical course of the world's longest ELA series of 107 years at the Claridenfirn is reviewed together with climatic elements. Further, the changes in ELAs of 70 glaciers the world over are investigated, and a linear plane model for the speed of the ELA shift is proposed as a function of the changing rates of summer temperature and winter mass balance. The four glaciers in Europe, which diverge most from the plane, are investigated in detail. The cause of the divergence is likely due to be the change in solar global radiation. Although a precise quantification of the role of radiation is not possible at this stage for the entire world, the role of solar radiation is investigated for these glaciers. Globally viewed, ten, or 15% of the 70 investigated glaciers, are expected to lose their accumulation areas within the next ten years. Half of all studied glaciers will follow the same fate by the end of this century under the present climatic conditions. If climate change is accelerated, the disappearance of glaciers will occur sooner than presented in this study.

Summary: Glacier surge is a special form of glacier displacement caused by the instability of the glacial dynamic system, potentially affected by climate change resulting in accelerated glacier advance. The two surges identified in Weigeledangxiong Glacier in recent years differed in speed and scale, possibly due to long-term effects of rising temperatures.

Summary: This study integrated a glacier-melt model with the VIC model to simulate and validate river flows in five basins in the Himalayas, revealing the complex impact of climate change on river flows. The research found that the contribution of snowmelt decreases while glacier-melt increases in a warmer environment, but decreases significantly when glacier volumes are reduced. However, this decrease can be compensated by increased precipitation in a wetter scenario.

Summary: Karakorum glaciers, particularly the Khurdopin glacier, are known for frequent surges that block the Shimshal River and create new glacial lakes. The glacier surges occur approximately every 20 years, with an increase in ice mass, higher winter temperatures, and variations in snowfall observed. The study findings, combined with previous research, can help predict future surge events.

Summary: Glaciar Pio XI has been advancing and thickening over the past few decades, in contrast to the generally retreating and thinning trends observed in other glaciers in the Southern Patagonia Icefield. The glacier's surface elevation has increased, and its ice mass increase during the study period accounts for 4% of the total mass loss from the SPI between 2000 and 2015/16.

Summary: Changing climate is causing shifts in precipitation patterns, snow dynamics, and glacier retreat in glacierized mountain headwaters. A hydrological model was used to predict future behavior in a glacierized basin in the Canadian Rockies. The model showed that the increase in precipitation by the end of the century compensates for the decreased ice melt, resulting in a 7% decrease in annual streamflow.

The frequency and trends of different weather types were examined, and their relationship with surface precipitation was determined. These findings provide valuable insights into climate change and its influencing factors in the region.
