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 …

[HTML][HTML] Evolution and controls of large glacial lakes in the Nepal Himalaya
Glacier recession driven by climate change produces glacial lakes, some of which are
hazardous. Our study assesses the evolution of three of the most hazardous moraine …

[HTML][HTML] Supraglacial debris thickness variability: impact on ablation and relation to terrain properties
Shallow ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys are used to characterize the small-scale
spatial variability of supraglacial debris thickness on a Himalayan glacier. Debris thickness …

Structure and evolution of the drainage system of a Himalayan debris-covered glacier, and its relationship with patterns of mass loss
We provide the first synoptic view of the drainage system of a Himalayan debris-covered
glacier and its evolution through time, based on speleological exploration and satellite …
