This study assesses the temporal changes of Swetvarn and Thelu glaciers between 1968
and 2019 in Rakvarn glacial valley of Bhagirathi basin. Here we utilized high-resolution …

Glacier surface albedo is an important factor affecting glacier ablation, and a positive
feedback mechanism has been observed between the surface albedo and mass balance of …

This study discusses the observed long-term (1991–2015) and short-term (1991–2000 and
2001–2015) trends in winter temperature and precipitation over Northwestern Himalaya …

Glaciers in the northwestern Himalayan region of Jammu and Kashmir have been reported
to be retreating at higher rates as compared to other parts of the Himalayan arc. This study …

Improving the knowledge on Himalayan glaciers mass balance is a key to understand the
present and past annual atmospheric variations and future water availability in the region …

Filling gaps in climate data concerning mountainous areas with high spatial variability is
significantly important since gaps tend to decrease the accuracy of trend estimation. In this …

The impact of climate change over Indian Himalaya has received a great deal of attention
worldwide. The present study focuses the recent winter climate, snow cover and albedo …

Monitoring of snow cover variability is crucial because it is closely linked with mountain
