Proglacial areas represent the counterpart of glacial retreat, where a new environmental
equilibrium will be reached. During this long and complex stage, which represents the …

This review provides a detailed synthesis of the effects of glacier retreat and permafrost thaw
on stream ecosystems in the European Alps. As a working framework, we present a …

Despite recent research identifying a clear anthropogenic impact on glacier recession, the
effect of recent climate change on glacier-related hazards is at present unclear. Here we …

The Cordillera Blanca in Peru has been the scene of rapid deglaciation for many decades.
One of numerous lakes formed in the front of the retreating glaciers is the moraine-dammed …

Changing high‐mountain environments are characterized by destabilizing ice, rock or debris
slopes connected to evolving glacial lakes. Such configurations may lead to potentially …

The prevalence and increased frequency of high-magnitude Glacial Lake Outburst Floods
(GLOFs) in the Chilean and Argentinean Andes suggests this region will be prone to similar …

Climatic changes alter the climate system, leading to a decrease of glacier mass volumes
and swelling glacial lakes. This study provides a new inventory of glacial and high-altitude …

Glaciers of the Bolivian Andes represent an important water resource for Andean cities and
mountain communities, yet relatively little work has assessed changes in their extent over …

An inventory of the lakes within the Cordillera Blanca of Peru was made based on manual
analysis of high resolution optical images and was verified during field surveys. In total, 882 …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau and surroundings, commonly referred to as the Third Pole
region, has the largest ice store outside the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Glacial lakes in the …
