The Andes Cordillera contains the most diverse cryosphere on Earth, including extensive
areas covered by seasonal snow, numerous tropical and extratropical glaciers, and many …

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 …

Glaciers are essential for downstream water resources. Hydrological modeling is necessary
for a better understanding and for future projections of the water resources in these rapidly …

Andean glaciers are among the fastest shrinking and largest contributors to sea level rise on
Earth. They also represent crucial water resources in many tropical and semi-arid mountain …

Glaciers are one of the main sources of freshwater in cold regions. The glacier melting
process can significantly impact the glacier mass balance (GMB) and contribute a large …

As glaciers adjust their size in response to climate variations, long-term changes in
meltwater production can be expected, affecting the local availability of water resources. We …

The impacts of the accelerated glacier retreat in recent decades on glacier runoff changes
are still unknown in most Andean catchments, increasing uncertainties in estimating water …

Avalanches are important contributors to the mass balance of glaciers located in mountain
ranges with steep topographies. Avalanches result in localized over-accumulation that is …

In actual engineering fields, the bearing capacity of a rock is closely related to the pore water
pressure in the rock. Studies have shown that the pore water in the rock has a great …

Surface albedo typically dominates the mass balance of mountain glaciers, though long-
term trends and patterns of glacier albedo are seldom explored. We calculated broadband …
