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 …

The most recent deglaciation of the North American Ice Sheet Complex (NAISC: comprising
the Innuitian, Cordilleran, and Laurentide ice sheets) offers a broad perspective from which …

Himalayan glaciers are undergoing rapid mass loss but rates of contemporary change lack
long-term (centennial-scale) context. Here, we reconstruct the extent and surfaces of 14,798 …

Two fundamental questions about the ice-age climate system await satisfactory resolution.
First, if summer solar radiation intensity truly controls the orbital signature of the last glacial …

We generate a high spatial and temporal record of ice loss across glaciers globally for the
first time from CryoSat‐2 swath interferometric radar altimetry. We show that between 2010 …

Ice marginal lakes are a dynamic component of terrestrial meltwater storage at the margin of
the Greenland Ice Sheet. Despite their significance to the sea level budget, local flood …

Meltwater from Himalayan glaciers sustains the flow of rivers such as the Ganges and
Brahmaputra on which over half a billion people depend for day-to-day needs. Upstream …

Global climate change is evidently manifest in disappearing mountain glaciers and receding
and thinning ice sheet margins. Concern about contemporaneous proglacial lake …

In High Mountain Asia (HMA), rising temperatures and retreating glaciers are leading to the
formation of new glacial lakes and the expansion of existing ones. The sudden release of …

Ice‐marginal lakes can affect glacier dynamics but are ignored in studies of the evolution of
the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) and of peripheral mountain glaciers and ice caps (PGICs) …
