Unlike glaciers in other parts of the world, Karakoram glaciers seem to be stable or gaining
in mass in response to global climate change, a phenomenon known as 'the Karakoram …

Endorheic (hydrologically landlocked) basins spatially concur with arid/semi-arid climates.
Given limited precipitation but high potential evaporation, their water storage is vulnerable to …

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 …

In the context of global warming, glacier changes in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) and its
surroundings have attracted a great amount of public attention. To date, there have been …

Ice cliff backwasting on debris-covered glaciers is recognized as an important mass-loss
process that is potentially responsible for the “debris-cover anomaly”, ie the fact that debris …

Limited ground-based surveys and extensive remote sensing analyses have confirmed
glacier thinning in the Garhwal Himalaya. More detailed studies on specific glaciers and the …

The variables of snow cover extent (SCE), snow cover duration (SCD), and snow albedo
(SAL) are primary factors determining the surface energy balance and hydrological …

The paper concerns ice dams and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) in the Karakoram.
Some 146 events are identified, including 30 major disasters. Large downstream …

This study assesses the temporal changes of Swetvarn and Thelu glaciers between 1968
and 2019 in Rakvarn glacial valley of Bhagirathi basin. Here we utilized high-resolution …

The temporal variation of glacier mass balance during recent years remains poorly known
for the mountain glaciers in the inner Tibetan Plateau (ITP), due to the lack of field …
