Abstract Glaciers in the Himalaya–Karakoram mountain ranges harbour approximately half
of the ice volume in High-mountain Asia and modulate the flow of freshwater to almost 869 …

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 …

Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) represent a major hazard and can result in significant
loss of life. Globally, since 1990, the number and size of glacial lakes has grown rapidly …

Long-term satellite-based observations have helped quantify glacier mass change and the
response of the hydrosphere to glacier changes. However, subaqueous mass loss …

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 …

Global glacial lakes have expanded markedly in recent decades, accompanied by many
catastrophic glacial lake outburst floods. However, our understanding of glacial lake …

Abstract Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Structure from Motion (UAV-SfM) photogrammetry is
increasingly applied to topographic change detection, which requires multitemporal Digital …

Ice‐contact proglacial lakes are generally absent from numerical model simulations of
glacier evolution, and their effects on ice dynamics and on rates of deglaciation remain …

Himalayan glaciers represent both an important source of water and a major suite of
geohazards for inhabitants of their downstream regions. Recent climate change has …

Meltwater from Himalayan glaciers sustains the flow of rivers such as the Ganges and
Brahmaputra on which over half a billion people depend for day-to-day needs. Upstream …
