Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are a unique type of natural hazard in the cryosphere
that may result in catastrophic fatalities and damages. The Himalayas are known as one of …

Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are among the most concerning consequences of
retreating glaciers in mountain ranges worldwide. GLOFs have attracted significant attention …

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

Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are among the most severe cryospheric hazards in the
Third Pole, encompassing the Tibetan Plateau and surrounding Himalayas, Hindu Kush …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Ongoing atmospheric warming has accelerated glacier mass loss in many mountain regions
worldwide. Glacier lakes trap parts of the glacial meltwater and increased by about 50% in …

Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are a great concern for the Himalaya, as they can
severely damage downstream populations and infrastructures. These floods originate at …

Deglaciation due to atmospheric warming has led to the formation and expansion of
numerous glacial lakes, especially in the eastern Himalaya. Many of these glacial lakes are …
