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 …

During the last few decades, many case studies focused on the dynamics of fluvial systems
in response to hillslope erosion, land-use impact, and climate changes. This paper will …

In the Everest region, Nepal, ground-based monitoring programmes were started on the
debris-free Mera Glacier (27.7° N, 86.9° E; 5.1 km 2, 6420 to 4940 m asl) in 2007 and on the …

Instrumental temperature recording in the Greater Alpine Region (GAR) began in the year
1760. Prior to the 1850–1870 period, after which screens of different types protected the …

Mass-balance and dynamic behaviour of Chhota Shigri glacier, western Himalaya, India,
has been investigated between 2002 and 2010 and compared to data collected in 1987-89 …

Glaciers in the European Alps began to retreat abruptly from their mid-19th century
maximum, marking what appeared to be the end of the Little Ice Age. Alpine temperature …

Comparison of tree-ring-based warm-season temperature reconstructions and their
instrumental target data reveals substantial divergence between (warmer) early instrumental …

There is mounting evidence that climate change is triggering a shrinking and thinning of
many glaciers world-wide which may eventually put at risk water supplies for hundreds of …

Conventional glacier‐wide mass balances are commonly used to study the effect of climate
forcing on glacier melt. Unfortunately, the glacier‐wide mass balances are also influenced …

The volume changes of 21 glaciers in the Cordillera Real have been determined between
1963 and 2006 using photogrammetric measurements. These data form the longest series …
