The melting Himalayas: cascading effects of climate change on water, biodiversity, and livelihoods
The Greater Himalayas hold the largest mass of ice outside polar regions and are the source
of the 10 largest rivers in Asia. Rapid reduction in the volume of Himalayan glaciers due to …

Timing of glaciation during the last glacial cycle: evaluating the concept of a global 'Last Glacial Maximum'(LGM)
It has long been known that mountain glaciers and continental ice sheets around the globe
reached their respective maximum extent at different times during the last glacial cycle, often …

Response of the Ganges dispersal system to climate change: a source-to-sink view since the last interstade
SL Goodbred Jr - Sedimentary Geology, 2003 - Elsevier
The forcing of sediment dispersal systems by climate is widely accepted, but there remains
disagreement on the general responses to climate change such as, how resulting signals …
