The wide distribution of natural lakes over the Tibetan Plateau, the highest and largest
plateau on Earth, have received extensive attention due to global warming. In this Review …

Proglacial lakes are ubiquitous within the Quaternary record and can provide exceptional
breadth and depth of palaeoenvironmental information. Present deglaciation is increasing …

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

Abstract Warming on Earth's Third Pole is leading to rapid loss of ice and the formation and
expansion of glacial lakes, posing a severe threat to downstream communities. Here we …

Himalayan rivers are frequently hit by catastrophic floods that are caused by the failure of
glacial lake and landslide dams; however, the dynamics and long-term impacts of such …

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 Himalaya, the world's highest mountain ranges, are home to a large group of glaciers
and glacial lakes. Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) in this region have resulted in …

Asia's high plateaus are sensitive to climate change and have been experiencing rapid
warming over the past few decades. We found 99 new lakes and extensive lake expansion …

There is currently no glacial lake inventory data set for the entire high-mountain Asia (HMA)
area. The definition and classification of glacial lakes remain controversial, presenting …

We report on a glacier inventory for the Canadian Cordillera south of 60° N, across the two
western provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, containing~ 30,000 km2 of glacierized …
