Satellite remote sensing is an effective way to monitor vast extents of global glaciers and
snowfields. However, satellite remote sensing is limited by spatial and temporal resolutions …

Formal planning and development of what became the first Landsat satellite commenced
over 50 years ago in 1967. Now, having collected earth observation data for well over four …

The cryosphere consists of frozen water and includes lakes/rivers/sea ice, glaciers, ice
caps/sheets, snow cover, and permafrost. Because highly reflective snow and ice are the …

Abstract Changes in a large-scale glacial lake area directly reflect the regional glacier status
and climate changes. However, long time series of glacial lake dataset and comprehensive …

Forests cover about 30% of the Earth surface, they are among the most biodiverse terrestrial
ecosystems and represent the bulk of many ecological processes and services. The …

Glaciers covered by debris are widespread in the Himalayas. Debris layer makes the
melting process of glaciers complicated, and the correlation between the spatial melt …

Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are among the most serious natural hazards in high
mountain regions in the last several decades. The recent global warming has caused …

Supraglacial debris (SGD) cover on mountain glaciers is known to greatly influence various
glacier processes and alter their response to climate change. In this study, vital glacier …

This study presents a comprehensive review of the published literature on the evidences of
a changing climate in the Indian Himalayan Region (IHR) and its impacts on the glacio …

Glacial lakes (GLs), a vital link between the hydrosphere and the cryosphere, participate in
the local hydrological process, and their interannual dynamic evolution is an objective …
