The state and fate of Himalayan glaciers
Himalayan glaciers are a focus of public and scientific debate. Prevailing uncertainties are of
major concern because some projections of their future have serious implications for water …

[HTML][HTML] Climate change and the global pattern of moraine-dammed glacial lake outburst floods
Despite recent research identifying a clear anthropogenic impact on glacier recession, the
effect of recent climate change on glacier-related hazards is at present unclear. Here we …

Status and change of the cryosphere in the extended Hindu Kush Himalaya region
The cryosphere is defined by the presence of frozen water in its many forms: glaciers, ice
caps, ice sheets, snow, permafrost, and river and lake ice. In the extended Hindu Kush …

High mountain areas
The cryosphere (including, snow, glaciers, permafrost, lake and river ice) is an integral
element of high mountain regions, which are home to roughly 10% of the global population …

Region-wide glacier mass balances over the Pamir-Karakoram-Himalaya during 1999–2011
The recent evolution of Pamir-Karakoram-Himalaya (PKH) glaciers, widely acknowledged
as valuable high-altitude as well as mid-latitude climatic indicators, remains poorly known …

Contrasting patterns of early twenty-first-century glacier mass change in the Himalayas
Glaciers are among the best indicators of terrestrial climate variability, contribute importantly
to water resources in many mountainous regions, and are a major contributor to global sea …

A regional-scale assessment of Himalayan glacial lake changes using satellite observations from 1990 to 2015
The Himalaya, the world's highest mountain ranges, are home to a large group of glaciers
and glacial lakes. Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) in this region have resulted in …

An inventory of glacial lakes in the Third Pole region and their changes in response to global warming
No glacial lake census exists for the Third Pole region, which includes the Pamir-Hindu
Kush-Karakoram-Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau. Therefore, comprehensive information …
