We have reviewed about 100 studies on past changes in climate, snow cover, glaciers and
runoff in Central Asian headwater catchments, which have been published in the past 20 …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau holds an ample record of past glaciations, and there is an
extensive set of glacial deposits dated by exposure dating. Here a compilation is presented …

The Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) is a globally complete collection of digital outlines of
glaciers, excluding the ice sheets, developed to meet the needs of the Fifth Assessment of …

Observations show that glaciers around the world are in retreat and losing mass.
Internationally coordinated for over a century, glacier monitoring activities provide an …

A new physically based approach for calculating glacier ice thickness distribution and
volume is presented and applied to all glaciers and ice caps worldwide. Combining glacier …

Glaciers and their changes through time are increasingly obtained from a wide range of
satellite sensors. Due to the often remote location of glaciers in inaccessible and high …

The impacts of future climate change on water balance for the headwater basins of six major
rivers in the Tibetan Plateau are assessed using the well-established VIC-glacier land …

The ongoing global glacier retreat is affecting human societies by causing sea-level rise,
changing seasonal water availability, and increasing geohazards. Melting glaciers are an …

We present estimates of sea-level change caused by the global surface mass balance of
glaciers, based on the reconstruction and projection of the surface mass balance of all the …

Indian Himalayas are home to numerous glacial lakes, which can pose serious threat to
downstream communities and lead to catastrophic socioeconomic disasters in case of a …
