Glaciohydrology of the himalaya-karakoram
BACKGROUND The Himalayan-Karakoram (HK) region in south Asia is one of the most
heavily glacierized and vulnerable mountainous regions on Earth. The Indus, Ganges, and …

Underestimated mass loss from lake-terminating glaciers in the greater Himalaya
Long-term satellite-based observations have helped quantify glacier mass change and the
response of the hydrosphere to glacier changes. However, subaqueous mass loss …

Rapid worldwide growth of glacial lakes since 1990
Glacial lakes are rapidly growing in response to climate change and glacier retreat. The role
of these lakes as terrestrial storage for glacial meltwater is currently unknown and not …

A systematic, regional assessment of high mountain Asia glacier mass balance
High-mountain Asia (HMA) constitutes the largest glacierized region outside of the Earth's
polar regions. Although available observations are limited, long-term records indicate …

Heterogeneous influence of glacier morphology on the mass balance variability in High Mountain Asia
We investigate the control of the morphological variables on the 2000–2016 glacier‐wide
mass balances of 6,470 individual glaciers of High Mountain Asia. We separate the data set …

Heterogeneous changes in global glacial lakes under coupled climate warming and glacier thinning
T Zhang, W Wang, B An - Communications Earth & Environment, 2024 - nature.com
Global glacial lakes have expanded markedly in recent decades, accompanied by many
catastrophic glacial lake outburst floods. However, our understanding of glacial lake …

The 2015 landslide and tsunami in Taan Fiord, Alaska
Glacial retreat in recent decades has exposed unstable slopes and allowed deep water to
extend beneath some of those slopes. Slope failure at the terminus of Tyndall Glacier on 17 …
