Importance of snow and glacier meltwater for agriculture on the Indo-Gangetic Plain
Densely populated floodplains downstream of Asia's mountain ranges depend heavily on
mountain water resources, in particular for irrigation. An intensive and complex multi …

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 …

Review of the status and mass changes of Himalayan-Karakoram glaciers
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 …
