A review of glacial lake expansion and associated glacial lake outburst floods in the Himalayan region
Climate change is strongly affecting the Himalayas. Geologically young and fragile, the
Himalayas are sensitive to even minor changes in the climate. Regional warming in …

Differential response of glaciers with varying debris cover extent: evidence from changing glacier parameters
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 …

Influence of topography on glacier changes in the central Himalaya, India
Assessing the impact of topography on glacier changes is vital because, while climate is the
driving force behind these changes, the topography may control their heterogeneity. Present …
