Glaciers distinct from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are currently losing mass
rapidly with direct and severe impacts on the habitability of some regions on Earth as glacier …

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

Himalayan glaciers supply meltwater to densely populated catchments in South Asia, and
regional observations of glacier change over multiple decades are needed to understand …

Rock debris can accumulate on glacier surfaces and dramatically reduce glacier melt. The
structure of a debris cover is unique to each glacier and sensitive to climate. Despite this …

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 …

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 …

Mountain glaciers are known to be strongly affected by global climate change. Here we
compute temporally consistent changes in glacier area, surface elevation and ice mass over …

The second Chinese glacier inventory was compiled based on 218 Landsat TM/ETM+
scenes acquired mainly during 2006–10. The widely used band ratio segmentation method …

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 …

Excluding the large ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica, glaciers in South America are
large contributors to sea-level rise. Their rates of mass loss, however, are poorly known …
