Glacial lakes are rapidly growing in response to climate change and glacier retreat. The role
of these lakes as terrestrial storage for glacial meltwater is currently unknown and not …

The cryosphere consists of frozen water and includes lakes/rivers/sea ice, glaciers, ice
caps/sheets, snow cover, and permafrost. Because highly reflective snow and ice are the …

This study presents a comprehensive review of the published literature on the evidences of
a changing climate in the Indian Himalayan Region (IHR) and its impacts on the glacio …

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 …

Atmospheric warming is intensifying glacier melting and glacial-lake development in High
Mountain Asia (HMA), and this could increase glacial-lake outburst flood (GLOF) hazards …

Water spectral indices can enhance the difference between water bodies and background
features. Thus, they have been widely used to extract and map surface water bodies based …

Surface waters are fundamental resources for terrestrial life, yet they are not free of both
natural and anthropogenic influences at global-scale. An accurate and robust method to …

The characteristics of glacial lakes are a precursor to glacier retreat, ice mass loss, velocity,
and potential risk of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOF). The current state of the art for …

Earth's surface water plays an important role in the global water cycle, environmental
processes, and human society, and it is necessary to dynamically capture the distribution …

Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are among the most serious natural hazards in high
mountain regions in the last several decades. The recent global warming has caused …
