Global warming has already had a significant impact on social ecosystems. The Tibetan
Plateau (TP), which is characterized by a cryosphere, is also recognized to have a profound …

Abstract Glaciers in High Mountain Asia generate meltwater that supports the water needs of
250 million people, but current knowledge of annual accumulation and ablation is limited to …

In this study, we apply a glacier mass balance and ice redistribution model to examine the
sensitivity of glaciers in the Everest region of Nepal to climate change. High-resolution …

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 …

The physical, thermal, and mechanical properties of snow, ice, and permafrost are
responsible for the response of these cryospheric materials to external stressors. An …

Runoff from high-elevation debris-covered glaciers represents a crucial water supply for
millions of people in the Hindu Kush-Himalaya region, where peak water has already …

In cold and arid climates, small glaciers with cold accumulation zones are often thought to
be entirely cold based. However, scattering in ground-penetrating radar (GPR) …

This study aims at developing and applying a spatially-distributed coupled glacier mass
balance and ice-flow model to attribute the response of glaciers to natural and …

In this study, we apply a three‐dimensional (3D) thermomechanically coupled higher‐order
ice flow model to simulate the East Rongbuk Glacier (ERG), Mt. Everest. We first …

Measurements of englacial temperatures have been collected since the earliest years of
glaciology, with the first measurements dating back to the mid-19 th century. Although …
