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 …

The Andes Cordillera contains the most diverse cryosphere on Earth, including extensive
areas covered by seasonal snow, numerous tropical and extratropical glaciers, and many …

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 …

The chapter is divided into two main sections. The first section follows an integrative
approach in which hazards, exposure, vulnerability, impacts and risks are discussed …

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 …

Droughts often evolve gradually and cover large areas, and therefore, affect many people
and activities. This motivates developing techniques to integrate different satellite …

Since the first estimates of Svalbard-wide glacier mass balance were made in the early
2000s, there has been great progress in remote sensing and modeling of mass balance …

The northern and southern Patagonian ice fields (NPI and SPI) have been subject to
accelerated retreat during the last decades, with considerable variability in magnitude and …

Glaciers are currently the largest contributor to sea level rise after ocean thermal expansion,
contributing∼ 30% to the sea level budget. Global monitoring of these regions remains a …

We generate a high spatial and temporal record of ice loss across glaciers globally for the
first time from CryoSat‐2 swath interferometric radar altimetry. We show that between 2010 …
