Global-scale glacier shrinkage is one of the most prominent signs of ongoing climatic
change. However, important differences in glacier response exist at the regional scale, and …

High-mountain Asia (HMA) constitutes the largest glacierized region outside of the Earth's
polar regions. Although available observations are limited, long-term records indicate …

Glaciers are key components of the mountain water towers of Asia and are vital for
downstream domestic, agricultural, and industrial uses. The glacier mass loss rate over the …

Snow, glaciers and permafrost translate fluctuations of atmospheric conditions and highlight
current environmental changes. Monitoring of these changes is one of the major objectives …

Physical erosion and chemical weathering rates beneath glaciers are expected to increase
in a warming climate with enhanced melting but are poorly constrained. We present a global …

Abstract The Tien Shan and Pamir mountains host over 28,000 glaciers providing essential
water resources for increasing water demand in Central Asia. A disequilibrium between …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau interior basin (ITP) can be regarded as the intermediate zone
between balanced or slight positive mass balance and pronounced mass loss. As an …

On 22 March 2021, a~ 50 M m 3 ice-rock avalanche occurred from 6500 m asl in the
Sedongpu basin, southeastern Tibet. The avalanche transformed into a highly mobile flow …

Glacier-wide mass balance and catchment-wide runoff were reconstructed over 1979–2018
for Dokriani Glacier catchment in Garhwal Himalaya (India). A glacier mass balance-runoff …

Due to their high sensitivity to changes in climate, glaciers are one of the best natural
indicators of climate change. Despite this, many underlying processes that control glacier …
