Glacial lake outburst floods threaten millions globally
C Taylor, TR Robinson, S Dunning… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) represent a major hazard and can result in significant
loss of life. Globally, since 1990, the number and size of glacial lakes has grown rapidly …

Underestimated mass loss from lake-terminating glaciers in the greater Himalaya
Long-term satellite-based observations have helped quantify glacier mass change and the
response of the hydrosphere to glacier changes. However, subaqueous mass loss …

Rapid worldwide growth of glacial lakes since 1990
Glacial lakes are rapidly growing in response to climate change and glacier retreat. The role
of these lakes as terrestrial storage for glacial meltwater is currently unknown and not …

Proglacial lakes control glacier geometry and behavior during recession
Ice‐contact proglacial lakes are generally absent from numerical model simulations of
glacier evolution, and their effects on ice dynamics and on rates of deglaciation remain …

Heterogeneous changes in global glacial lakes under coupled climate warming and glacier thinning
T Zhang, W Wang, B An - Communications Earth & Environment, 2024 - nature.com
Global glacial lakes have expanded markedly in recent decades, accompanied by many
catastrophic glacial lake outburst floods. However, our understanding of glacial lake …

Interannual flow dynamics driven by frontal retreat of a lake-terminating glacier in the Chinese Central Himalaya
Most lake-terminating glaciers in the Himalaya retreat rapidly due to periodic frontal ice loss
at their terminus, but long-term observations are still limited regarding their flow dynamics …
