The role of cold supraglacial volcanic deposits in influencing glacial ablation

An often overlooked factor in glacial ablation is the influence of supraglacial debris deposits, which can have both positive and negative effects. A critical thickness exists at which sub-debris ablation is equal to that of bare ice; debris will hinder ablation if it exceeds this thickness, and enh...
