Ren, Shaoting (author), Jia, Li (author), Menenti, M. (author), Zhang, Jing (author)Glacier surface albedo dominates glacier energy balance, thus strongly affecting the glacier mass balance. Glaciers in the Western Nyainqentanglha Mountains (WNM) experienced large mass losses in the past two decades, but long-term changes of glacier albedo and its drivers are less understood. In this study, we retrieved glacier albedo with...journal article 2023

Zhang, Jing (author), Jia, Li (author), Menenti, M. (author), Zhou, Jie (author), Ren, Shaoting (author)Glacier and snow are sensitive indicators of regional climate variability. In the early 21st century, glaciers in the West Kunlun and Pamir regions showed stable or even slightly positive mass budgets, and this is anomalous in a worldwide context of glacier recession. We studied the evolution of snow cover to understand whether it could...journal article 2021

Ren, Shaoting (author), Miles, Evan S. (author), Jia, Li (author), Menenti, M. (author), Kneib, Marin (author), Buri, Pascal (author), McCarthy, Michael J. (author), Shaw, Thomas E. (author), Yang, Wei (author), Pellicciotti, Francesca (author)Glacier albedo determines the net shortwave radiation absorbed at the glacier surface and plays a crucial role in glacier energy and mass balance. Remote sensing techniques are efficient means to retrieve glacier surface albedo over large and inaccessible areas and to study its variability. However, corrections of anisotropic reflectance of...journal article 2021

Zhang, Jing (author), Jia, Li (author), Menenti, M. (author), Ren, Shaoting (author)Monitoring glacier flow is vital to understand the response of mountain glaciers to environmental forcing in the context of global climate change. Seasonal and interannual variability of surface velocity in the temperate glaciers of the Parlung Zangbo Basin (PZB) has attracted significant attention. Detailed patterns in glacier surface...journal article 2021

Ren, Shaoting (author), Menenti, M. (author), Jia, Li (author), Zhang, Jing (author), Zhang, Jingxiao (author), Li, Xin (author)Mountain glaciers are excellent indicators of climate change and have an important role in the terrestrial water cycle and food security in many parts of the world. Glaciers are the major water source of rivers and lakes in the Nyainqentanglha Mountains (NM) region, where the glacier area has the second largest extent on the Tibetan Plateau....journal article 2020
