The cryosphere in mountain regions is rapidly declining, a trend that is expected to
accelerate over the next several decades due to anthropogenic climate change. A cascade …

Mountain lakes are often situated in protected natural areas, a feature that leads to their role
as sentinels of global environmental change. Despite variations in latitude, mountain lakes …

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 …

We evaluate the performance of a large ensemble of Global Climate Models (GCMs) from
the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) over South America for a …

Andean glaciers are among the fastest shrinking and largest contributors to sea level rise on
Earth. They also represent crucial water resources in many tropical and semi-arid mountain …

Glaciers cover about 10% of the Earth's land area but they are retreating rapidly and many
will disappear within decades. Glacier retreat is a worldwide phenomenon increasing the …

Observations show that glaciers around the world are in retreat and losing mass.
Internationally coordinated for over a century, glacier monitoring activities provide an …

Glaciers in the tropical Andes have been retreating for the past several decades, leading to
a temporary increase in dry season water supply downstream. Projected future glacier …

In mountainous regions, climate change threatens cryospheric water resources, and
understanding all components of the hydrological cycle is necessary for effective water …

We assess climate impacts of global warming using ongoing observations and paleoclimate
data. We use Earth's measured energy imbalance, paleoclimate data, and simple …
