The mass balance of glaciers is mainly influenced by winter precipitation and summer temperature. In a recent study, researchers used simple statistical models to assess and quantify the relative ...

Chemical companies are increasingly looking to the mass-balance concept as a method of offering chemicals made from renewable raw materials. It’s a low-cost, low-risk way to get into the ...

Glacier mass balances in High Mountain Asia are uncertain. Satellite stereo-imagery allows a spatially resolved estimate for about 92% of the glacierized area and yields a region-wide average of ...

Amcor plc will evaluate the potential financial risks tied to its use of mass balance accounting — a method for tracking recycled content in plastics packaging. The move follows increased ...

Five small glaciers in the Bavarian Alps have been surveyed repeatedly since the late 19th century. This enables the calculation of geodetic glacier mass balances, which are known to be key indicators ...

Seasonal mass balance components bw (winter balance) and bs (summer balance) as well as ct (total accumulation) and at (total ablation), can be used directly to infer climate variables. In contrast, ...
