Status and change of the cryosphere in the extended Hindu Kush Himalaya region
The cryosphere is defined by the presence of frozen water in its many forms: glaciers, ice
caps, ice sheets, snow, permafrost, and river and lake ice. In the extended Hindu Kush …

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 …

A regional-scale assessment of Himalayan glacial lake changes using satellite observations from 1990 to 2015
The Himalaya, the world's highest mountain ranges, are home to a large group of glaciers
and glacial lakes. Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) in this region have resulted in …

Toward a complete Himalayan hydrological budget: Spatiotemporal distribution of snowmelt and rainfall and their impact on river discharge
B Bookhagen, DW Burbank - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
The hydrological budget of Himalayan rivers is dominated by monsoonal rainfall and
snowmelt, but their relative impact is not well established because this remote region lacks a …

The stream power river incision model: Evidence, theory and beyond
D Lague - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
The stream power incision model (SPIM) is a cornerstone of quantitative geomorphology. It
states that river incision rate is the product of drainage area and channel slope raised to the …

Response of debris-covered glaciers in the Mount Everest region to recent warming, and implications for outburst flood hazards
In areas of high relief, many glaciers have extensive covers of supraglacial debris in their
ablation zones, which alters both rates and spatial patterns of melting, with important …
