A potential glacial lake outburst flood from Lake Palcacocha (Cordillera Blanca, Peru)
threatens Huaraz, a city of 120,000 people. In 1941, an outburst flood destroyed one-third of …

Glaciers reflect integrated climate signals from inter-annual to centennial timescales. In
using glacier extent as a climate-change detector, the challenge is to distinguish the roles of …

Inter-annual climate variability has the potential to induce hundred-to-thousand meters of
glacier length change, comparable to the glacier retreats from their Little Ice Age (LIA) …

Climate changes and its undesirable impacts (such as melting glaciers, the occurrence of
floods, hurricanes and droughts, etc.) are among the most important disasters that human …

The last glacial termination was characterised by millennial-scale episodes of warming and
cooling that appear offset between the hemispheres. It has been proposed that this bi-polar …

Palaeoglacier modelling is a crucial approach for reconstructing palaeoclimate. Although
the timing of glaciations during the Little Ice Age (LIA) and Neoglacial in the central …

The mass-balance—elevation relation for a given glacier is required for many numerical
models of ice flow. Direct measurements of this relation using remotely-sensed methods are …

The courts have become an increasingly important venue for efforts to combat the impacts of
climate change. Claims have brought on a range of legal grounds, but many climate lawsuits …

My dissertation investigates glacier mass change in the Columbia and Rocky Mountains of
British Columbia. In chapter one I discuss the importance of the cryosphere and glaciers …

Un potencial desbordamiento de la Laguna glacial Palcacocha, en la Cordillera Blanca
(Perú), pone en peligro a Huaraz, una ciudad de 120.000 habitantes. En 1941, un aluvión …
