Glaciers respond sensitively to climate variability and change, with associated impacts on
meltwater production, sea-level rise and geomorphological hazards. There is a strong …

Glaciers in the high mountains of Asia (HMA) make a substantial contribution to the water
supply of millions of people,, and they are retreating and losing mass as a result of …

Supraglacial debris affects glacier mass balance as a thin layer enhances surface melting,
while a thick layer reduces it. While many glaciers are debris‐covered, global glacier models …

Understanding the climate-glacier dynamics of debris-covered glaciers is notoriously difficult
given a multitude of controlling factors and feedback mechanisms involving climate forcing …

The hydrology of high-elevation watersheds of the Hindu Kush-Himalaya region (HKH) is
poorly known. The correct representation of internal states and process dynamics in glacio …

A layer of debris cover often accumulates across the surface of glaciers in active mountain
ranges with exceptionally steep terrain, such as the Andes, Himalaya, and New Zealand …

This study investigates spatial patterns in glacier characteristics and area changes at
decadal scales in the eastern Himalaya–Nepal (Arun and Tamor basins), India (Teesta …

Continuous surface debris cover strongly reduces the ablation of glaciers, but high melt
rates may occur at ice cliffs that are too steep to hold debris. This study assesses the …

The Karakoram range of the Hindu-Kush Himalaya is characterized by both extensive
glaciation and a widespread prevalence of surficial debris cover on the glaciers. Surface …

In this study we use visible, short-wave infrared and thermal Advanced Spaceborne Thermal
Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) data validated with high-resolution Quickbird …
