“…Glacier boundaries can easily be misinterpreted. Other techniques for glacier boundary delineation include the image ratio approach (e.g., Hall et al 1989, Paul et al 2002, supervised and unsupervised classification (e.g., Gratton et al 1990, Aniya et al 1996, and the use of artificial neural networks (e.g., Bishop et al 1999). Most of these techniques require image preprocessing and work reasonably well for clean ice, but they tend to fail for debris-covered glaciers.…”

The international scientific community is actively engaged in assessing ice sheet and alpine glacier fluctuations at a variety of scales. The availability of stereoscopic, multitemporal, and multispectral satellite imagery from the optical wavelength regions of the electromagnetic spectrum has greatly increased our ability to assess glaciological conditions and map the cryosphere. There are, however, important issues and limitations associated with accurate satellite information extraction and mapping, as well as new opportunities for assessment and mapping that are all rooted in understanding the fundamentals of the radiation transfer cascade. We address the primary radiation transfer components, relate them to glacier dynamics and mapping, and summarize the analytical approaches that permit transformation of spectral variation into thematic and quantitative parameters. We also discuss the integration of satellite-derived information into numerical modeling approaches to facilitate understandings of glacier dynamics and causal mechanisms.

“…(b) A number of approaches are available to estimate the extent of debris accumulations, for example, from air-or space-borne remote sensing (e.g. Bishop et al, 1999;Kieffer et al, 2000;Taschner and Ranzi, 2002;Paul, 2003). Literature on the estimation of debris accumulation thickness, in contrast, is generally sparse.…”

“…Bishop et al (1995) and Bishop et al (1999) applied an ANN to estimate the supraglacial debris loads of Himalayan glaciers, using pre-defined glacier outlines. Lougeay (1974) proposed to detect debris that is cooled by underlaying ice by its lower radiometric temperature.…”
