...7b) shows the typical patterns of mountain glaciers in mid-latitudes (e.g. Paul et al., 2011; Andreassen et al., 2008; Bhambri et al., 2011): In this region, 86% of all analyzed glaciers are smaller than 1 km(2), but they share only 20....

...Mapping of debris-covered glacier parts Editing of debris-covered glacier parts is one of the most time-consuming tasks in the compilation of a glacier inventory and highly error prone (e.g. Bolch et al., 2008; Racoviteanu et al., 2008; Bhambri et al., 2011)....

...Declassified imagery of spy sensors from the 60s like Corona or Hexagon provide a valuable alternative for such change assessment and were already successfully applied in the study region by Bhambri et al. (2011)....

...However, some glaciers (e.g. Raikot Glacier in Nanga Parbat, Punjab Himalaya) have been stable during recent decades (Schmidt and Nüsser, 2009) and others have advanced (e.g. tributaries of Panmah and Liligo Glaciers in the Karakoram region of Pakistan) (Hewitt, 2005; Belò and others, 2008)....
