Review of the status and mass changes of Himalayan-Karakoram glaciers
We present a comprehensive review of the status and changes in glacier length (since the
1850s), area and mass (since the 1960s) along the Himalayan-Karakoram (HK) region and …

A review of glacial lake expansion and associated glacial lake outburst floods in the Himalayan region
Climate change is strongly affecting the Himalayas. Geologically young and fragile, the
Himalayas are sensitive to even minor changes in the climate. Regional warming in …

Modelling the feedbacks between mass balance, ice flow and debris transport to predict the response to climate change of debris-covered glaciers in the Himalaya
Many Himalayan glaciers are characterised in their lower reaches by a rock debris layer.
This debris insulates the glacier surface from atmospheric warming and complicates the …

Modelling glacier-bed overdeepenings and possible future lakes for the glaciers in the Himalaya—Karakoram region
Surface digital elevation models (DEMs) and slope-related estimates of glacier thickness
enable modelling of glacier-bed topographies over large ice-covered areas. Due to the …

The New Swiss Glacier Inventory SGI2016: from a topographical to a glaciological dataset
A Linsbauer, M Huss, E Hodel, A Bauder… - Frontiers in Earth …, 2021 - frontiersin.org
Glaciers in Switzerland are shrinking rapidly in response to ongoing climate change.
Repeated glacier inventories are key to monitor such changes at the regional scale. Here …

Heterogeneous glacier thinning patterns over the last 40 years in Langtang Himal, Nepal
This study presents volume and mass changes of seven (five partially debris-covered, two
debris-free) glaciers in the upper Langtang catchment in Nepal. We use a digital elevation …

Modeling debris-covered glaciers: response to steady debris deposition
LS Anderson, RS Anderson - The Cryosphere, 2016 - tc.copernicus.org
Debris-covered glaciers are common in rapidly eroding alpine landscapes. When thicker
than a few centimeters, surface debris suppresses melt rates. If continuous debris cover is …

[HTML][HTML] Contrasting geometric and dynamic evolution of lake and land-terminating glaciers in the central Himalaya
The impact of glacial lake development on the evolution of glaciers in the Himalaya is poorly
quantified, despite the increasing prevalence of supraglacial and proglacial water bodies …

Debris-covered glacier systems and associated glacial lake outburst flood hazards: challenges and prospects
Glaciers respond sensitively to climate variability and change, with associated impacts on
meltwater production, sea-level rise and geomorphological hazards. There is a strong …
