Abstract Glaciers in the Himalaya–Karakoram mountain ranges harbour approximately half
of the ice volume in High-mountain Asia and modulate the flow of freshwater to almost 869 …

BACKGROUND The Himalayan-Karakoram (HK) region in south Asia is one of the most
heavily glacierized and vulnerable mountainous regions on Earth. The Indus, Ganges, and …

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 …

In Himalayas, new glacial lake formation and expansion of existing glacial lakes have
occurred as a consequence of the increasing temperature and glacier recession. These …

Knowledge about the occurrence and characteristics of surge-type glaciers is crucial due to
the impact of surging on glacier melt and glacier-related hazards. One of the super-clusters …

Increasingly frequent glacier-rock avalanches (GRAs)–events triggered by the detachment
of both glacier and rock materials–have occurred in recent years in the Sedongpu gully in …

This study assessed spatiotemporal changes at Gya Glacier, the associated development of
a proglacial lake, and reconstructed the 2014 outburst flood that struck Gya Village in the …

Glacial lakes map** using satellite remote sensing data are important for studying the
effects of climate change as well as for the mitigation and risk assessment of a Glacial Lake …

People and infrastructure in the Tibetan Plateau and surroundings (TPS) face an increasing
risk from glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) as the construction boom in transport and …

This article attempts to reconstruct the causes and consequences of the 2014 glacial lake
outburst flood (GLOF) event in Gya, Ladakh. We analyse the evolution of the Gya glacial …
