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 …

Unlike glaciers in other parts of the world, Karakoram glaciers seem to be stable or gaining
in mass in response to global climate change, a phenomenon known as 'the Karakoram …

Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) represent a major hazard and can result in significant
loss of life. Globally, since 1990, the number and size of glacial lakes has grown rapidly …

Abstract Warming on Earth's Third Pole is leading to rapid loss of ice and the formation and
expansion of glacial lakes, posing a severe threat to downstream communities. Here we …

Episodic failures of ice-dammed lakes have produced some of the largest floods in history,
with disastrous consequences for communities in high mountains,,,,,–. Yet, estimating …

Ongoing atmospheric warming has accelerated glacier mass loss in many mountain regions
worldwide. Glacier lakes trap parts of the glacial meltwater and increased by about 50% in …

Thousands of glacier lakes have been forming behind natural dams in high mountains
following glacier retreat since the early 20th century. Some of these lakes abruptly released …

Earth's climate is warming and will continue to warm as the century progresses. High
mountains and high latitudes are experiencing the greatest warming of all regions on Earth …

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 …

Global glacial lakes have expanded markedly in recent decades, accompanied by many
catastrophic glacial lake outburst floods. However, our understanding of glacial lake …
