Glaciohydrology of the himalaya-karakoram
BACKGROUND The Himalayan-Karakoram (HK) region in south Asia is one of the most
heavily glacierized and vulnerable mountainous regions on Earth. The Indus, Ganges, and …

Unravelling climate change in the Hindu Kush Himalaya: rapid warming in the mountains and increasing extremes
Historically, the climate of the HKH has experienced significant changes that are closely
related to the rise and fall of regional cultures and civilizations. Studies show well …

Climate change impacts on the upper Indus hydrology: sources, shifts and extremes
The Indus basin heavily depends on its upstream mountainous part for the downstream
supply of water while downstream demands are high. Since downstream demands will likely …

Hazard from Himalayan glacier lake outburst floods
G Veh, O Korup, A Walz - Proceedings of the National …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
Sustained glacier melt in the Himalayas has gradually spawned more than 5,000 glacier
lakes that are dammed by potentially unstable moraines. When such dams break, glacier …
