Global glacier mass loss has accelerated, producing more and larger glacial lakes. Many of
these glacial lakes are a source of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), which pose threats …

The cryosphere in mountain regions is rapidly declining, a trend that is expected to
accelerate over the next several decades due to anthropogenic climate change. A cascade …

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 …

Long-term satellite-based observations have helped quantify glacier mass change and the
response of the hydrosphere to glacier changes. However, subaqueous mass loss …

Glacier shrinkage and the development of post-glacial ecosystems related to anthropogenic
climate change are some of the fastest ongoing ecosystem shifts, with marked ecological …

Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are among the most severe cryospheric hazards in the
Third Pole, encompassing the Tibetan Plateau and surrounding Himalayas, Hindu Kush …

Glacier outburst floods are sudden releases of large amounts of water from a glacier. They
are a pervasive natural hazard worldwide. They have an association with climate primarily …

Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) have been intensely investigated in High Mountain
Asia (HMA) in recent years and are the most well-known hazard associated with the …

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 …

Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are a great concern for the Himalaya, as they can
severely damage downstream populations and infrastructures. These floods originate at …
