Increasing risk of glacial lake outburst floods from future Third Pole deglaciation
G Zheng, SK Allen, A Bao… - Nature Climate …, 2021 - nature.com
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 …

Twenty-first century glacier slowdown driven by mass loss in High Mountain Asia
Abstract Glaciers in High Mountain Asia have experienced heterogeneous rates of loss
since the 1970s. Yet, the associated changes in ice flow that lead to mass redistribution and …

Status and change of the cryosphere in the extended Hindu Kush Himalaya region
The cryosphere is defined by the presence of frozen water in its many forms: glaciers, ice
caps, ice sheets, snow, permafrost, and river and lake ice. In the extended Hindu Kush …
