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 …

Challenges in understanding the variability of the cryosphere in the Himalaya and its impact on regional water resources
The Himalaya plays a vital role in regulating the freshwater availability for nearly a billion
people living in the Indus, Ganga, and Brahmaputra River basins. Due to climate change …

Evaluating the contribution of avalanching to the mass balance of Himalayan glaciers
Avalanching is a prominent source of accumulation on glaciers that have high and steep
valley-walls surrounding their accumulation zones. These glaciers are typically …

Brief communication: Thinning of debris-covered and debris-free glaciers in a warming climate
A Banerjee - The Cryosphere, 2017 - tc.copernicus.org
Recent geodetic mass-balance measurements reveal similar thinning rates on glaciers with
