Global glacier mass loss has accelerated, producing more and larger glacial lakes. Many of
these glacial lakes are a source of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), which pose threats …

Abstract High-Mountain Asia (HMA) shows a remarkable warming tendency and divergent
trend of regional precipitation with enhanced meteorological extremes. The rapid thawing of …

Floods are a great threat to Pakistan with increasing concern. As the consequences of
increased extreme weather related to climate change, Pakistan experiences severe floods …

Global glacial lakes have expanded markedly in recent decades, accompanied by many
catastrophic glacial lake outburst floods. However, our understanding of glacial lake …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau and surroundings, commonly referred to as the Third Pole
region, has the largest ice store outside the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Glacial lakes in the …

Recent research on the Himalayan cryosphere has increasingly been focused on climate
uncertainty and regional variations, considering features such as glacier recession, lake …

Himalayan glaciers represent both an important source of water and a major suite of
geohazards for inhabitants of their downstream regions. Recent climate change has …

Non-technical summaryWe identify a set of essential recent advances in climate change
research with high policy relevance, across natural and social sciences:(1) looming …

Climate change exerts a profound impact on lakes, eliciting responses that range from
gradual to abrupt transitions. When reaching critical tip** points, the established lake …

Glacier surface temperature is not only an important indicator of climate change, but is also
directly related to glacier physical processes and mass balance. Glaciers over the Third Pole …
