The Unteraar Glacier, Bernese Alps, Switzerland, has been chosen as a test site. As part of a pilot project aimed at determining the mass balance distribution of that glacier without the use of in situ information, ALS measurements were conducted
The environs of the Glacier de Tsanfleuron, Switzerland, was used as a study site to investigate the controls on the relative efficiency of solute generation and removal from glacial and proglacial environments. A simple conceptual model

The kinematic boundary condition at the surface is utilized to arrive at an estimate of the mass-balance distribution of the ablation region of Unteraar Glacier, Bernese Alps, Switzerland. This is achieved without the use of any ground measurements
